Therapists in Tucson, AZ

"Darkness cannot extinguish the light of even a small candle". Sometimes we just need a little bit of guidance to return our gaze to the light, to the good, and to the gratitude. Maybe you forget that they are there because of daily stresses or anxieties. Maybe you are just feeling so overwhelmed by your emotions that you find yourself struggling throughout the week. Maybe you just need a guiding voice to be present, help you understand your emotions, and learn coping and interpersonal skills that will help you. My experience and practice is focused on helping teens and young adults with this.

We all deserve and want happiness and well-being! New skills and habits can be developed to utilize our emotions and improve our effectiveness in dealing with a range of life's difficulties. Our goal is to provide informed, effective, compassionate support to guide you toward your own personal transformation. All of our practitioners are highly experienced doctoral level professionals who offer evidence based positive psychology, interpersonal, and goal/value identification. We are trauma informed health and mental health specialists who are here to focus on and support you living joyfully and authentically. Find us at MettaAZ.com.

My primary focus is emotional health and well-being by utilizing the Whole Person Concept. This enables clients to make great stride in personal transformation and gains in self-esteem, improvement in the quality of their life at work, in intimate relationships and with family, friends and overcome social anxiety. By utilizing the bio-psycho-social-spiritual approach and traditional cognitive behavioral therapy in helping to reframe the presenting problem, we discover new possibilities to cope with life stressors. This process may include Jungian psychology, dream analysis, creative visualization, mindfulness meditation and Art.

I currently offer Telehealth services to clients residing in Arizona and California. I place a high priority on access to care and therefore offer a generous sliding fee schedule. I have been in the field of public and behavioral health at federal, county and nonprofit settings as a manager and direct service provider for over 25 years. I work with individuals with mild to moderate stress, anxiety, panic disorders, depression, trauma, family and relationship difficulties, mental and addictive disorders including clients with chronic dependence on alcohol and opioids.

NOTE: Only online sessions available at this time. Do you struggle with day to day activities? Feeling regret from the past? Feeling stuck? Worried about the future? Life events that have changed you? As a clinical psychologist I work with individuals in a caring and nonjudgmental environment. Issues include: Anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, aging, teenage struggles, gender identity/fluidity issues, meaning in life, spiritual & religious issues, near-death experience (NDE)/exceptional human experiences (EHE). Please note: I only work with individual clients; no couples or family therapy.

Throughout our clinical experience at Better Lives Building Tribes (BLBT), we have learned that people are learning the most about themselves through their interactions with other people. But interactions with other people are complicated and people often need help navigating conflict, conflict resolution, and setting boundaries amidst already struggling self-esteem and self-worth. How we feel about ourselves has everything to do with our ability to defend ourselves, verbalize our own needs, and come up with creative solutions to our interpersonal hurdles. If you find yourself having difficulties with others, we are here to help.

Are stressors getting in the way of life? Are you having a hard time finding solutions? We all face these “bumps” through life and can navigate through them, but at times it’s more difficult. Feeling overwhelmed, you may feel the internal stress affecting parts of your life. Oftentimes, this may be the root of depression or anxiety. I offer my experience and a comfortable safe space to meet and talk collaboratively to discover the roots of the stress and find solutions.

What's holding you back from living your best life? Do you sometimes feel stuck? Have trouble managing your thoughts and emotions? Life can be challenging, and I understand that. I believe we all have the innate strength within us to overcome life's struggles, but sometimes it is helpful to have some extra support. As your therapist, I am here to work collaboratively with you to become the best version of yourself. I am warm and connect with my clients on a deep level. I can help you get excited about the future and all of the great possibilities that life has to offer.

I provide both counseling and astrology services, integrating 40 years experience of astrology into my counseling practice. 20 years of counseling experience involves guiding and supporting others through relationship concerns, family issues, anxiety, depression, sleep problems & women's health (sexual, physical, emotional.) I use CBT, psychodynamic, solution focused and emotionally focused modalities to help the client feel confident and secure in their positive coping skills. I also use mindfulness techniques and encourage the client to approach life holistically (mind, body, spirit) to obtain optimum goals of peace and happiness.

I have had the pleasure of working as a therapist for over 10 years and look forward to discussing ways to support you.

If you are anxious, stressed out, or stuck in the legacy of trauma, I'm committed to helping you experience some peace of mind. I will introduce you to concrete tools for managing your distress so that you can finally get some relief and enjoy the time you have on this planet.

I believe it is helpful to have a safe place where you feel heard and supported. My aim is to assist you in identifying your strengths to improve your relationship with yourself and others.

I have many years experience working in a variety of settings, including community behavioral health, residential treatment, and intensive outpatient programs. I have worked with individuals with a range of struggles including depression, anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, and substance abuse.

Do you find yourself in the same relationship patterns over and over again? Do you feel like your past experiences are ruining your present life? Are you ready to start feeling like the person you know you really are deep down? I'm here to tell you that it is possible to have fulfilling relationships and deep, meaningful connection is within your reach.

Understanding who you are and how you relate to others when life is chaotic and overwhelming can feel impossible. Some of us try our best to press on without taking into consideration the true weight of our own feelings, experiences, and perspectives and how they affect us. If you know what that’s like, you’re not alone. I believe in the value of improving our understanding of self, how we see the world, and how we relate with others. In doing so, we can take a firmer grasp on life and become more intentional about the decisions we make. What I find most beautiful about this process is that it’s truly unique for everyone.

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist employed at Metta, a group private practice in Tucson. I have training and interest in working with a diverse number of clinical concerns including trauma and PTSD, attachment and developmental wounds, substance abuse, identity, self-discovery, and self-worth, difficult life transitions, relational issues, mood disorders, grief and loss, depression, and anxiety. I highly prioritize creating a safe, non-judgmental, trusting relationship with clients. I believe clients know themselves best, but I assist with gaining insight, self-understanding, and developing self-compassion and worth.
