Therapists in Tucson, AZ

As an insight-oriented psychotherapist, my goal is to help you gain awareness, facilitate emotional healing, and lay the groundwork for a way of living that is authentic and self loving. In my work I integrate mindfulness practices, trauma protocols, hypnosis/guided imagery, and other complementary interventions with traditional talk therapy. I work with adults addressing mood symptoms, trauma, anxiety, relationship issues, and other concerns.

Physical, Mental, Emotional and Spirituality stability is the path of walking in balance from the past, to the present and into the future. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, my focus is to apply the four principles of physical, mental, emotional and spirituality to address the soul wound to live in balance. It is my experience as a therapist working with diverse cultures, whether the soul wound is from the family of origin, past experiences as a child, or adult. Clients can change. Clients may choose a western or traditional path to healing the soul wound/ whole person by using the four principles.

Does your child have big emotions, anger, worries, or behaviors that you are struggling to understand? Has your child been through something difficult or just isn’t acting like themselves? If your child is expressing symptoms of anxiety, depression, or unexplained difficulties, a play-based model allows a safe environment to explore their feelings and needs affecting healthy functioning. I specialize in using a genuine, non-judgmental, supportive approach to helping children and families develop new ways of thinking and feeling, as well as learning new sets of skills for making choices and having healthier relationships.

I believe we are all works in progress, striving to do better. With our innate wisdom and abilities, healing will happen. With patience and grace for yourself, you set the pace of therapeutic change, and I will provide the support and encouragement, truly listen and hold your spoken and unspoken words in a safe container, then help you safely accept your feelings in return. My hopes are for you to feel less empty, more capable of feeling, less afraid and to find more happiness and peace in your life.

My clients are looking for effective evidenced based cognitive behavioral therapy to resolve or manage their symptoms related to obsessive compulsive disorder, trauma, anxiety, and insomnia. They want to work with a therapist who is well trained and has years of experience in working with diverse groups of people. They want to feel validated and work collaboratively with their therapist. They are ready to tackle the emotional barriers to build a life worth living. My clients are racially and ethnically diverse, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, first responders, veterans, and civilians.

My practice is focused on helping individuals who struggle with depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorders and post-traumatic stress. I specialize in comprehensive grief and loss issues and am passionate about empowering women and other survivors of abuse. Since the relationship between a client and therapist is a strong predictor of a positive outcome, my goal is to provide a supportive, safe and accepting environment where you will feel understood and respected while moving towards self awareness, greater happiness and solutions to problems.
