Interpersonal Therapists in Sahuarita, AZ

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.

I mostly work with active and retired public safety (incl DOC), EMS, fire, ER staff, active duty and combat vets as clients. I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC), licensed independent substance abuse counselor (LISAC), national certified counselor (NCC), clinically certified forensic counselor (NFC), trauma and anger therapist.

Being a psychotherapist for over 4 decades, I recognize the necessity to honor each client as an individual and to help that client to recognize and reveal true thoughts and feelings. Feeling sad, shy, frightened, furious, or any other emotion can be expressed and healed in the individual and within the family. Timing and destiny are vitally important to reveal and recognize, but even more valuable is to know that our reaction to life's events can transform our world. Whether in the mind, emotions, or spirit all things are possible.

I am Telehealth Therapist, licensed to serve Arizona residents. As a seasoned Licensed Professional Counselor for over 25 years, my job is to help you to address the challenges in your life by providing you with a safe space to discover and embrace your true authentic self first and foremost. I can help you achieve this by providing you with constructive feedback coupled with unconditional positive regard and encouragement. In therapy I will also help you to understand how your thoughts and behavior affect your feelings. So let's move you from a place of simply existing and enduring life to actually living life to its fullest!

How do you want your storybook to read? Life is a chapter book, filled with many experiences that change our landscape and how we view the world. We close chapters and open new ones throughout the trajectory of life. Sometimes you may feel like you’re slipping, or just holding on. Other times you may feel as if you’re soaring high above the mountains. Whatever chapter you're writing today, it’s okay to be where you are. How do you want your next page to read? Are you ready to take back control of whatever is holding onto you and change your landscape?

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.

I offer therapy for people who are seeking growth or change but feel stuck about how to move forward. This may be wanting a deeper connection to yourself and others, difficulties with stress, mood, or emotions, trouble adjusting to a life transition/event, relationship challenges, or identity issues. I value building a trusting therapeutic relationship that inspires openness, curiosity, and vulnerability; a place where lasting change unfolds. I strive to provide an environment in which you can speak your truth and be heard with respect and acceptance. I welcome folks of all genders, sexual orientations, lifestyles, and relationship structures.
