Therapists in Tucson, AZ

In the 20+ years I've worked in the helping profession, I've been honored to walk with many individuals on their personal paths of self discovery. Bearing witness to their journeys has inspired me on my own path, both professionally and personally. I have found my interest concentrated on Human Sexuality. My intention is to provide an open and safe environment for individuals to explore concerns and questions related to aspects of their sexuality and gender expression. By exploring how this impacts one's personal experience, close relationships and lives, insight can be gained and self esteem improved. Areas of focus include:

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.

Being able to seek out help is difficult and there are so many thoughts of “will this help?” which is completely valid. It is scary but seeking help can also be empowering and a sign of strength. I strongly believe in building from your strengths and resilient qualities. My priority is providing a safe space to feel heard, understood, and validated without judgment. The focus of our sessions will entail compassion, empathy, and reflection.

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 you experiencing patterns of behaviors that you find difficult to change? Do you feel stuck and frustrated by repeated failures to improve certain aspects of yourself? Are you struggling with negative self-talk and conflicting internal dialogue? If so, therapy may be a helpful option for you. As a human being, we all have an innate ability to heal and often our minds and bodies automatically stretch towards this healing. The challenge is that often times we are engaged in old healing/adaptive patterns that no longer serve us and therapy can help with the creation and revising of these patterns for a healthier way of life.

Art Therapy is a therapeutic technique which allows you to explore various issues through art-making that can sometimes be difficult to express through traditional talk therapy. ​ The process of creating art can foster healing, increase self-awareness, and provide personal empowerment. Art Therapy is a unique form of therapy that allows you to take an active and creative role in the treatment process. ​ No previous art experience is needed, as you don’t have to be good at art to benefit from art therapy. The focus is on the process of creating the art rather than the final image.

I am passionate about bringing healing, hope, and wholeness in the wake of the most difficult situations life throws at us. Many of my clients come to therapy seeking to decrease anxiety or depression, heal from significant losses and hurts, solve difficult problems, or just feel better about themselves.
