EMDR Therapists in Tucson, AZ

Now accepting new clients and couples. Sometimes life can be overwhelming, overbearing, and downright difficult. You’re not alone in your struggle. It’s helpful to have a professional with you to figure it all out. Everyone's life has a purpose, meaning, and a capacity for joy. I strive to create a compassionate environment that inspires hope. Where people feel important, valued, understood, and welcomed. Then we can work together to challenge the thought patterns and emotional limitations we may put on ourselves.

How do you want your storybook to read? Life is a chapter book, filled with many experiences that change our landscape and how we view the world. We close chapters and open new ones throughout the trajectory of life. Sometimes you may feel like you’re slipping, or just holding on. Other times you may feel as if you’re soaring high above the mountains. Whatever chapter you're writing today, it’s okay to be where you are. How do you want your next page to read? Are you ready to take back control of whatever is holding onto you and change your landscape?

I am a trauma focused Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 16 years experience in the mental health field, working with adolescents, adults, families and with facilitating group therapy sessions. I will sit and hold space with you as you decide which direction you are ready to take on your journey to healing and/or self discovery.

You feel worthless. No matter what you do, you can't shake what happened to you. You feel that what has happened is your fault. If only you had done something different or if only you weren't who you are. You feel completely alone and that no one understands you. You feel like there is something inherently wrong with you. You keep striving for perfection, trying to please everyone, and you try so hard to pretend that everything is okay, but you just can't hold it together anymore. It has finally caught up to you. You don't know how you got to this place but you know you want so much more.

Do you feel like life has gotten harder and you’re just overwhelmed by it all? Do you feel like you’re living in a different world, and it seems angrier and lacking compassion? I am here to help you navigate your feelings of being lost. I'm a trained Christian counselor, and believe spirituality and faith can help you through these challenging times. If faith is a part of your journey I can include that as part of your healing process. There's no magic button or pill that can take these stressful feelings away, but I walk alongside you every step of the way.

My practice is client-centered, honest, and empathetic to my client's concerns. Trust is the major factor that enables clients to talk about what is at the heart of their problems, and we spend the time necessary to develop that trust. I view the therapeutic relationship as collaboration with my client on a unique journey towards self-enhancement, wellness, and goal attainment. I want to help empower you to overcome your personal obstacles with a compassionate and respectful approach in a safe place where you can share and build self-awareness as we work together to change.

I take a person-centered approach with the goal being to provide a non-judgmental space for every person who sits across from me. I am passionate about helping people find healing through therapy, and for those who are interested, I offer faith integration in the work we do together.

Life is hard, and sometimes feels impossible to navigate. You want to feel better and discover and build your ideal life. You want to enjoy life and be successful. But there are barriers that keep you from this life you desire. Perhaps you find yourself overwhelmed, unmotivated, struggling to make decisions, unable to control your emotions, falling behind in school, work, or other obligations. You remember a time when anxiety, depression, and painful emotions weren’t “the norm” … but those days feel like a distant memory. Don’t you wish you had the tools to change that? Life doesn’t have to stay this way.

You haven’t been able to show up for your daily responsibilities, let alone for yourself. You know you could do more, be more, but there just isn't enough time in the day or gas left in the tank to go the extra mile. You're always there for others, but not for you. Depression and anxiety have caused you to feel like you don’t have enough to give. Medication doesn't seem to help, at least not enough to actually feel well. You are sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. The responsibilities of life are weighing you down. You want to feel energized and joyful to face the day, but you would rather stay in bed. You need a change.

Immediate Availability! During times of trauma it is not uncommon to feel confused, lost or simply overwhelmed. We all have times in our lives that can be especially challenging and during these moments simply having someone to listen can make a big difference. When you are ready to make that call, I will listen and provide you with a safe environment to find your way back to solid ground. I understand that you are unique and no one approach works for everyone, and so I use a range of therapeutic techniques to find what resonates with you. You set the goals and together we set the gps to head directly to those goals.

Immediate Availability! Feeling 'not good enough' is exhausting. The constant pressure to keep up, to fit in, to meet the expectations of friends, family and society are unrealistic and can leave you feeling disconnected and isolated. We believe it shouldn’t be so hard to get the therapy you need to live the life you want. We’re here to help. Our team of experienced therapists offers the guidance and support you need to gain perspective and feel more in control of your life. We use three simple steps in our process: 1. We get to know you as a person. 2. We develop a plan specific to your needs. 3. We help you heal.

Welcome. Searching for therapy services can be a difficult and intimidating experience, so I congratulate you for getting started! Feel free to send me an email with any questions you may have. I work from a person-centered approach where you, the client, is the expert in your own therapy journey and I am here to support along the way. Together we can figure out what is needed to help you achieve your therapy goals. In my practice, Cultivando Wellness, I strive to empower the community with education and therapy services to break the stigma of mental health. I work with people from the ages of 11 years old to adults.

Through the cyclical nature of life, we all experience times of prosperity and times of struggle. The struggles, challenges, and traumas we face can become overwhelming and manifest in our mind, body, emotions, energy, and spirit. This can leave us feeling hopeless, anxious, depressed, and feeling like we are stuck. Healing from past challenges and traumas can allow us to envision and step into a future of prosperity and peace. Each person’s path to healing is as unique as their journey, so I take a non-judgmental, holistic, and integrative approach to walk with you through your journey of self-discovery and growth.

When children and young adults struggle their loved ones struggle too. That is why I work with children, adolescents, young adults and their families to help promote strong relationships and foster healthy individuals. When working with small children I specialize in using play therapy and providing a safe, confidential and calming environment. When working with young adults there is always a need to help dalth with past traumas while working to promote the skills to transition to a health adulthood. I offer a variety of services, including therapy, consultation, and assessment in a relaxed and comfortable setting.

Finding contentment in life can sometimes be elusive when we are faced with life challenges. We may feel confused about what to do, or our emotions may be overwhelming us in such a way that we cannot clearly see solutions. Whether you are confronting past experiences or current life challenges, I will work with you to identify goals, process thoughts and feelings, and explore solutions. I work with adults of all ages in my practice and I utilize a combination of cognitive, experiential, somatic, and solution focused interventions. I am also trained in and offer EMDR.

Currently unable to accept new clients. Something has happened or is happening in your life that has you feeling disconnected – from yourself and others. You are likely either numbed out much of the time or your emotions are all over the place. You want to feel more grounded, connected, whole, and alive. You are ready to take a chance, reach out, and get some help to do all that.
