Transgender Allied Therapists in Prince Tucson, Tucson, AZ

Carl Jung said, "The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are." Many of my clients come to therapy reporting problems with depression, anxiety, troublesome relationships, or grieving a recent loss. Our work often includes a review of life history-including the influences of family of origin, culture, ethnicity, religion and place-as well as the client's current life circumstances. The client and I work together to create a safe setting and use those presenting symptoms as stepping stones for the client achieve a more authentically lived and fulfilling life.

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.

(NO NEW PATIENTS - WAITLIST ONLY) I am a therapist working at the Phoenix Wellness Center. I utilize a combination of trauma-informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with both adults and adolescents. I provide both long-term and short-term therapy that is targeted toward the reduction of undesired symptoms and the improvement of your mental health and wellness. I am a directive clinician that will work with you on examining your patterns of thinking, learning to better regulate your mood, and increasing healthy behaviors. I believe everyone is entitled and deserving of the life they want to live.

Did you recently suffer a breakup in a relationship? Are you forever choosing wrong partners? How are your relationships in general, even if they are not romantic? Are you suicidal, angry, depressed, anxious, worried, suffering from past trauma you cannot shake? Are you repeatedly struggling with addiction? Are you questioning your sexual orientation? Are seeking acceptance? Is your self-esteem suffering? Do you struggle from religious abuse? So many issues can overwhelm us, but there is ALWAYS a positive solution.

I specialize in working with teens, adults, and families with addictions of all types, eating disorders, and body image issues. I also have vast experience working with trauma, life transitions, chronic pain, anxiety disorders, and depression in teens and adults. In addition, I like working with young adults and teens who are facing transitions into adulthood. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy and that healing takes place on all levels- mind, body, and spirit. Nothing has gone wrong in your life to get you to this point of reaching out- we all need help at some point and you deserve to feel better!

My passion is to heal others and I have dedicated my life to do so through the healing of the mind. As a therapist, I have been able to become an effective healer.

Limited slot availability- not currently accepting insurance. I have great success in working with adult female, and non-binary people of color and other minorities. One of my strongest beliefs is that the relationship between client and therapist, is the greatest component to successful treatment. Clients must feel safe and understood to allow someone to help them process and navigate their greatest fears, hurdles, relationships, or other difficult life experiences. From my clients, I ask dedication and commitment to treatment.

Self-Transformation through - Recognizing one’s uniqueness and inherent partnership with others in their lives is essential to the self-awareness process. Developing the courage that exists within to manage the rhythm of life’s challenges. Working to tap into one’s energy to build the strength to sustain real lasting change. Changing the focus from a negative script to one that supports a more fulfilled life. Building the capacity to understand one’s past as the key to a better future. Helping to discover the link between self-awareness and our connection to others. Supporting the journey to self-acceptance.

I work with clients when they are ready to embrace transformation, change and freedom from self-sabotage and the programming that is unknowingly running our lives without our knowledge. Are you unhappy with the work you do or how you are treated there? Are you feeling muzzled or misunderstood in your relationships? Do you feel stuck and can't understand how to get unstuck? Maybe you feel like a failure in therapy or recovery. What now? Maybe you just want to get in touch with you because that's been lost for years. When you're ready to make changes to get back on track, look no further. I can help you take back your life!

Life can be extremely difficult to navigate at times, especially when going through major life transitions. An effective way to deal with a low amount of self-compassion is by finding a way to relate differently to the inner critical voice. I work with adults and adolescents experiencing issues including family conflict, depression, anxiety, stress-related issues, Grief and Loss, communication challenges, self-esteem, and many more. I am equipped with a variety of techniques that promote both verbal and non-verbal expression in a way that is therapeutic rather than stigmatizing.
