Therapists in Palo Verde, Tucson, AZ

I see wonderful results with the unique Unified Mindfulness System that I incorporate into my work. I bring to my work my own personal healing of a serious binge eating disorder/sugar addiction and other issues of suffering. I am also a researcher and involved with neuroscientists at the University of Arizona SEMA Lab and the Medical University of South Carolina, researching my innovative addiction/negative behavior change protocol. I have worked with seemingly hopeless individuals who have transformed their lives with my therapeutic approach. I offer my services out of a great sense of passion and deepest gratitude.

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.

Accepting new ketamine clients only. Making the decision to contact a ketamine integration therapist can be difficult and my goal is to make the process as welcoming as possible in a comfortable and calm office setting. A growing body of research demonstrates that ketamine treatment incorporated with a robust psychotherapy integration program can be a powerful tool in the therapeutic treatment of depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief and loss, substance dependencies and other psychiatric conditions.

I have been practicing therapy for 30 years in Tucson. My focus is on health and wellness, creating joy with purpose and hope. I practice with a person centered approach engaging and assisting you to be the best you possible. I have experience in crisis intervention, substance abuse, depression, trauma, disordered eating and relationship counseling. I provide supervision for counselors with their associate license. I am solution focused, making connections to your strengths with a focus on life’s transitions utilizing spirituality, fitness, connecting with nature, nutrition, and “aging to saging".

My ideal client seeks support in navigating life's complexities, grappling with depression, anxiety, and trauma. They're facing profound challenges like chronic illness, seeking solace and coping strategies. Amid life transitions and identity exploration, they yearn for acceptance and understanding. Their goal is to cultivate resilience, find peace amidst turmoil, and embrace their authentic self. They seek a compassionate ally to journey with them towards healing and self-discovery.

I do not believe there is a “one size fits all” approach to counseling and source myself using a personalized approach geared towards empowering you by: identifying inherent strengths, cultivating resiliency, crafting necessary tools & life hacks to help you handle, navigate and overcome life’s many challenges. My goal for each counseling session is for you to know that you no longer have to be alone with whatever “it is” that is challenging you from either past, present or future concerns.

You’re searching for meaning or purpose in life. Perhaps you want to trust your intuition more. You feel at a crossroads. You’ve been successful in your work but feel a bit unsatisfied. You’re stable but lacking joie de vivre. You’re a creative, but not feeling all that creative right now. You sense this isn't something your sharp intellect or talk therapy can help you with. You feel your body holds wisdom for you, but you don’t know how to access it. I put decades of experience in psychotherapy and depth, creative, and contemplative processes in service of guiding and witnessing your unfolding into a more authentic, at-peace you.

In my practice, I specialize in helping adults who've endured trauma and are battling its lingering effects. You may struggle with self-doubt and intense emotions, impacting your relationships. Our work together will be customized to address these deep-rooted beliefs and improve emotional control. You're not just looking for change; you're prepared to engage in a meaningful therapeutic process. Together, we'll focus on healing and empowering you, transforming your narrative into one of strength and resilience.
