Suicidal Ideation Therapists in Tucson, AZ
My time as a guide in the Alaskan Rainforest taught me many truths: the thrill of wilderness air, the sacred language of native poetry and art, and, perhaps most notably, the realization that all life is deeply interwoven. As a clinician, I believe that each core aspect of a person - their spiritual, mental, physical, and social selves - requires intentional nurturing, and that each of these four "trees" uplifts the others - just as the neighboring trees in a forest work harmoniously for their united good.

My approach to therapy is grounded in person-centered theory, which recognizes that at our core we are all good people who are just trying to “make sense” of our complicated lives. I genuinely believe that every person is born with an inner strength and resilience to help them live their best life by being their true self. As your therapist, I can help you to identify and embrace your strengths and help you through the challenges in your life. My top priority is to build a therapeutic relationship rooted in trust, honesty and compassion. I create a safe, positive, uplifting and nurturing environment to help clients feel empowered.

I was born and raised in Southern Arizona. I have always had a passion to help and educate others as I have made my way through my own healing journey. I have worked with a wide range of clients from pre-teens experiencing divorce, loss, anxiety, and ADHD symptoms, to long-time veterans dealing with substance use, depression, PTSD, a lack of purpose, and everyone in between.

Now Accepting BCBS. It starts so small. Some frustration here, some outbursts there, avoiding situations that trigger uncomfortable emotions, occasional episodes of sadness or anxiety. Gradually it gets worse. Suddenly you find little joy in life, you don’t recognize yourself in the mirror, and you are spending the days feeling stuck in the intensity of these emotions and thoughts that control your life. Maybe you are watching your child experience these things and are feeling helpless seeing them struggle. It is time for change, time for healing, but you just are not sure how or where to start.
