Self-Harming Therapists in Samos, Tucson, AZ

I am currently accepting new clients. I am an outside the box thinker that wants to help you see your struggles in a different light and help you be independent in working through all facets of your life and your mental health. I've worked with adults from all different lifestyles and backgrounds and I practice a person-centered approach, knowing that all people are unique beings requiring different approaches, modalities and techniques. The areas of your life that you want to grow take top priority and I want to help you with them. Your mental health is the top priority.

I specialize in trauma, attachment and relationship issues, and other mood recovery. Are you feeling confused, stuck, lost, or trapped in a cycle of emotions and behaviors that don't align with who you know you are? Need help making sense of your life and your thoughts? Sometimes untangling a big knot takes a fresh pair of eyes.

I offer a safe and comforting environment to assist you in developing strength and resilience through building internal resources of safety, power, and control. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families in a variety of presenting concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting issues, relationship difficulties, and adjustment to major life events.

Are you ready for a change? Have you been banging your head against a wall trying to figure out what went wrong? Do you keep getting in your own way? Do you wonder why you can't seem to shake off years of shame, self-doubt, and fear? Maybe it's time for a different approach. Maybe YOU are not the problem. It's time to drop the struggle to "fix" yourself and reconnect with the you that is already whole and complete. How would your life be different if you were good enough? Who do you want to be?

Life can be so unbelievably hard. We may be left thinking, “I’ve tried everything and nothing seems to change,” or, “Is something wrong with me for feeling this way?” We may feel unable to connect with our most important people about what is really going on. We may feel unable to connect with ourselves. I get it—I’ve been there, too. I also know that with the right support, you don’t have to get stuck, go through this alone, or feel this way forever. No matter where you’re starting from, it is never too early or too late to heal, change, and grow.

ACCEPTING NEW TELE-HEALTH CLIENTS. I specialize in working with people struggling with Depression, Anxiety, Suicidal Thoughts, LGBTQ+ concerns, Trauma, Addition, Academic and Life Transitions, Relationship issues, Grief & Loss, Parenting, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Low Self-esteem. If your daily functioning is being impacted and you are struggling, participating in therapy can help you learn healthy ways of coping.

Therapy can help us gain a better understanding of ourselves, our thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and develop new skills and strategies to cope with life's challenges. Sometimes it's a slow realization that what worked in the past isn't cutting it anymore. Other times, it's a sudden, painful event that leaves us feeling unmoored. Maybe it's been a long-running sense that our experiences or emotions are just different from the people around us. In therapy, we work together to find a new path so that you can feel grounded, happier, and more confident.

I have worked with clients from diverse backgrounds with many different concerns, creating each therapy experience most relevant to the client. Much of my work has been with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma as well as grief and loss. My therapy environment is both safe and relaxed. Therapy is a tremendously individual experience and lends itself well to being organic and in the moment. I view my role as asking thought provoking questions and making observations based on listening in a way that, over time, paints a picture of the client's inner and outer life, known and unknown.

"Your past is not your potential. In any hour, you can choose to liberate the future" -- Marilyn Ferguson. Hello and welcome to my somatic psychotherapy practice. Both personally and professionally, I have learned the value of incorporating all aspects of the self - thoughts, feelings and the physical body - when addressing the suffering of human beings. My approach to healing is focused on the different ways we experience our lives (including cognition, emotion, five-sense perception, movement and sensation).
