Therapists in Tucson, AZ

Are you too fatigued, worried, depressed or unable to fall asleep? Are you grieving or experiencing painful flashbacks and overwhelming emotions? Is mind racing and feel that you don't fit in the world, anymore? Are you feeling hopeless and helpless? Conventional, one-size-fits-all therapeutic models lack authenticity, in stark contrast with the uniqueness of individual life. I'm an Esotherapist(tm) and Australian Level 4 Registered Counselor (LPC equivalent) living in US and specializing in PTSD, depression, anxiety/panic, grief, addictions, relationships, existential and identity crises. I am also a clinical hypnotherapist, NLP practitioner and life-coach.

I like working with individuals with a wide array of problems including: depression, anxiety, anger, trauma, relationship problems, behavioral disorders, substance abuse, impulse control problems, low self-esteem, low self-confidence, family problems, life skills deficits, and problems with decision-making. I provide compassionate care and I am an efficient and effective counselor who uses evidence-based approaches like CBT and EMDR.

Stess, anxiety, and unhealed trauma impacts our relationships, our jobs, our families, and even how we feel about ourselves. Chronic stress and unresolved trauma can impact our brains along with our nervous system. When this happens, we can feel as if we are stuck in our relationships & jobs or even trapped in our own lives. Fear & anxiety does not have to control your everyday thoughts and cultivating joy is possible! Choosing to get help is the first step towards change..

Are you feeling stressed, sad, in pain, anxious…or all of the above? Do you think you "should" feel happy, but you don't--and you're not sure why or what to do about it? Or maybe you're grieving a loss or a trauma & feeling lost yourself. No matter what you're facing, I'm here to help!! Since 2007, I've counseled diverse people from all walks of life. I use empathy, honesty, humor, & compassion in all my work.

At the core of my practice is loving-kindness, the genuine wish for you to be happy. Ideal clients seek relief from anxiety, non-suicidal depression, and a lack of meaning. They grapple with life transitions, craving self-understanding and growth. Open to exploring their beliefs, they aspire to live authentically, fostering meaningful connections, and are committed to positive change.

Life should NEVER be compromised and your Self should never be left unloved. Not by others, and not by your Self. I am an internationally recognized master therapist, Mayo Clinic School of Medicine faculty and on-air psychologist (find me at Good Morning Arizona!) who brings my HOPE-filled work to those who are hurting - and those who help those who are hurt - worldwide. With a primary focus on completely healing the aftereffects of complex trauma, especially as it manifests in an unhealthy relationship with food, body and Self, as well as impacting relationships with others, I believe that everyone has the capacity to FULLY Heal.

Do you feel stuck? I understand that seeking therapy is a personal and often courageous choice. Life is constantly changing and navigating those changes on your own can be difficult. I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental, and confidential space where you can share your thoughts, feelings, and concerns. Together, we'll work collaboratively to develop a tailored approach that suits your unique needs and goals. I'm here to help you build resilience, enhance self-esteem, and cultivate positive relationships. I am committed to creating an inclusive, safe, and affirming environment for clients of all backgrounds.

I have always been fascinated by what it means to be human: the choices we make, the stories we live with, and the beliefs, values and morals we choose to live by. Evaluating or becoming reacquainted with these parts of our human experience are all reasons that we find ourselves in need of a listening ear. I believe that past trauma, depression, anxiety, relational difficulties, loss, chronic pain, and spiritual disconnection all conceal our innermost capabilities for living a healthy, happy, whole life. I've obtained the UofA Dr. Andrew Weil Integrative Health Certification and use tenets of holistic healing.

The complexities of families and relationships have intrigued me ever since I was a young girl. Even after 30+ years of practice in the field of Marriage and Family Therapy, I'm still intrigued and challenged to find creative ways to solve the difficulties we all encounter in our relationships with others. As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Arizona I have been a member of the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) since 1981. I am a Past President of the Arizona Division of AAMFT. I am in private practice working with individuals, couples and families.

The decision to begin therapy is a powerful moment. It is a mobilizing action towards living a fuller, more wholesome existence. My approach honors your inner wisdom that may be blocked by current behavior patterns, past events, or fear of the future.

I have been in the health/wellness field for 20+ years using strength based/holistic recovery approaches. Integrated/experiential therapy helps you re-claim your authentic spontaneous self, creating the life you wish to live. Addressing emotional/relational wounding truly opens the door to a more empowered and fulfilling life. You can increase your self-esteem and confidence, free yourself from depression/anxiety, negative self-talk, substance or process addictions, trauma triggers, and emotional reactivity in relationships. Sometimes therapy addresses current challenges/difficulties, sometimes it's about family of origin issues using inner child work, and/or trauma reduction work.

We all have experienced bad days, discouragement, disappointments, confusion, anxiety, and other difficult challenges. There are moments when some of these experiences create a debilitating and paralyzing effect and the feeling of hopelessness ensues. I have a passion for helping people struggling with hopelessness. I believe the narrative approach to life, which means we have the power and ability to create our present and future experiences. Every now and then, however, a guide is needed to help us navigate through the journey and overcome those debilitating and paralyzing effects of hopelessness.

I support individuals and couples who are struggling with relationship issues, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, body image concerns, and other mood disorders to arrive at long-term, sustainable solutions. Years of experience and varied theoretical approaches address root-causes that drive your distress. In a safe, compassionate environment, you can explore your questions, concerns, fears, and goals. I devote attention, energy, expertise, humor and best recommendations to help you discover what you need to move forward. I work with English and Spanish speakers and all religions and backgrounds, including the LDS community.

You no longer need to feel isolated or ashamed of your feelings. I have created a safe place for you to explore your concerns with empathic understanding and acceptance.

We will explore the root of your issue and give you tools to help you calm down and be in control of them. Perhaps you force a smile on your face but inside are feeling despair or separated from others and your surroundings.Together we will get to the root of these issues so you can have healthy, fulfilling relationships.

I believe in the amazing resiliency of the human psyche and spirit - The body and mind have an incredible power to heal and we have the capacity to change our lives and create the future we want. I believe you are the expert on you and with steady support you can overcome obstacles, find your purpose, create, change and become your authentic and genuine self. I use a combination of therapeutic approaches to help you make the changes you want, and as you explore your present, identify connections to the past and reflect on the future you want.
