Adoption Therapists in Tucson, AZ

I am Telehealth Therapist, licensed to serve Arizona residents. As a seasoned Licensed Professional Counselor for over 25 years, my job is to help you to address the challenges in your life by providing you with a safe space to discover and embrace your true authentic self first and foremost. I can help you achieve this by providing you with constructive feedback coupled with unconditional positive regard and encouragement. In therapy I will also help you to understand how your thoughts and behavior affect your feelings. So let's move you from a place of simply existing and enduring life to actually living life to its fullest!

We all have our own stories we want to tell, rewrite, or change. What's stopping you from living out your best story? I am here to journey with you and dig deeper into the issues that may be preventing your goals, dreams, and aspirations from becoming a reality. Let's use the power of hope, growth, and healing to make changes. I want to help you set clear goals and positive expectancy for yourself while developing the resiliency you need to do hard things. Together, let's help you dream again about the person you want to be, the mindset you want to have, the relationships you want to cultivate, and the future you envision.

I have been practicing therapy for over 14 years and I am passionate about supporting my clients in their personal growth. I use a person - centered approach while exploring the past and present and challenging distorted negative cognitions when appropriate. The decision to enter therapy is not an easy one and my goal is to offer support in a safe and compassionate space. I am trained in Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and Somatic Experiencing. These training provide me with a wide variety of tools/skills to offer my clients.

My passion is helping people connect in healthy ways, healing wounds that prevent us from living full lives and becoming our whole selves. Childhood abuse, attachment struggles, codependency, and dysfunctional family systems can leave us hurt and guarded, but we can overcome these wounds. We can find love within ourselves, we can connect in healthy ways, and this is something we deserve in our lives. My hope is for you to live a beautiful life, accepting yourself, allowing yourself to be loved. I believe I have tools to assist you in this journey and would be honored to be your guide.

Being a psychotherapist for over 4 decades, I recognize the necessity to honor each client as an individual and to help that client to recognize and reveal true thoughts and feelings. Feeling sad, shy, frightened, furious, or any other emotion can be expressed and healed in the individual and within the family. Timing and destiny are vitally important to reveal and recognize, but even more valuable is to know that our reaction to life's events can transform our world. Whether in the mind, emotions, or spirit all things are possible.

Welcome and thank you for being here. I know that this step is not always easy, but it is so brave to seek therapy and you should be proud of yourself.

I am here for ALL the feelings. I’m an empathetic and compassionate therapist who has been working with individuals for the past 7 years.

Stess, anxiety, and unhealed trauma impacts our relationships, our jobs, our families, and even how we feel about ourselves. Chronic stress and unresolved trauma can impact our brains along with our nervous system. When this happens, we can feel as if we are stuck in our relationships & jobs or even trapped in our own lives. Fear & anxiety does not have to control your everyday thoughts and cultivating joy is possible! Choosing to get help is the first step towards change..

With a deep-seated belief that human connection is both essential for survival and instrumental in achieving personal growth, I have dedicated my career to understanding and fostering this connection through my specialization in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), attachment theory, existentialism, and a multisystemic approach, particularly when working with children. My journey in the field of mental health has been fueled by an innate curiosity about the human experience, leading me to the profound realization that people need people to not only survive but to truly thrive.

Achieving your life goals can be challenging, especially when you're dealing with difficult emotions or feeling overwhelmed. The therapeutic approach is designed to help you explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviors in a confidential and supportive environment. Life is full of windy roads and we all need extra support at times. Perhaps what worked well before doesn’t anymore. Think of it as building muscle; sometimes we have to exercise a muscle in a different way to achieve results. And though change can be scary, let's work together to learn the tools you need to feel better about yourself today.
