Therapists in Tucson, AZ

I provide coaching services for children and adolescents who struggle with executive functioning disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, (ADHD). These children and adolescents struggle with organizational skills, maintaining focus and concentration on tasks they do not find entertaining. They also struggle with consistently regulating their emotions. As a result of these difficulties these children and adolescents experience academic underachievement, disciplinary issues at school and at home, and relationship issues with their peers and relatives.

I believe individuals develop behavioral and emotional patterns which may begin as short term solutions, but can develop into long term problems. By cultivating awareness, clarifying values and approaching life with purpose; individuals, families and couples can minimize emotional suffering and move closer to their potential.

My orientation is family systems, which means even when there is only one person in my office, I view that person in the context of emotional systems in which he or she is embedded–family, work, friendships–and try to help the person recognize forces that are acting upon them. What are the "rules" of those systems? What expectations did someone grow up with, for example, around marriage and family? What lessons were learned about sexuality and religion, about work and play, fitting in vs. going one’s own way, and all the other challenges and choices that life presents?

The mission of Peacemakers Christian Family Counseling is to provide individual counseling, family counseling and organizational consultation services from a Christian perspective. Peacemakers' services are available to everyone. You don't have to be a Christian to receive services and you don't have to become a Christian to benefit from services offered. My approach to counseling and therapy is to operationalize the power of love in the process of healing. My theoretical orientation is grounded in person-centered theory which recognizes that we as people naturally strive to be all that God has blessed us to be.

I work with people using a variety of philosophies, but those encompassing humanistic and psychodynamic theories inform most of my practice. This generally means I am most interested in focusing on emotions, insight, relationships, past experiences, meta-emotion, self-worth, authenticity, fantasies, and the unconscious. I rely heavily on discussing shame, vulnerability, emotional needs, and creating meaning in life. I am fairly non-directive, and I will be most focused on helping you find your own authentic path by reflecting and exploring deeper meanings and patterns that arise in our discussions.

My aim is to help you address problematic ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving by way of examining the ways in which you perceive the world around you. The goal is to assist you in reaching a position of appreciation for your genuine self (for you are the perfect you) and an acceptance of the events that occur in your life. I would be honored to take part in your journey of discovering the narratives which potentially distort reality and lead to discomfort, diminished self-worth, or other barriers to attaining contentment.

Life sometimes doesn't go as planned and some challenges can benefit from an experienced guide. I am a specialist in treating trauma and in working with couples. I seek to help develop the tools needed by each unique client using evidence-based approaches balanced with patience, warmth, and enthusiasm. I try to meet each person where you are, discover the strengths within, and focus on helping you live a life based on what you value. I believe communication and boundaries are vital in all relationships and try to provide a supportive, encouraging, sometimes light-hearted, and non-judgmental space for exploration and healing for all.
