Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Tucson, AZ

In a world where we are constantly experiencing trauma, both directly and indirectly, it can be difficult to identify how deeply different things in life affect us. I believe that the experience of feeling understood can be the catalyst for change and something that allows for healing to begin. I aim to provide a space of healing, openness and exploration for those things that you might otherwise suppress or carry with heaviness or judgment. Together, we can heal that unresolved stuff from the past and create skills to support you through future circumstances.

Are you ready for a change? If therapy has been unhelpful in the past, I would love to discuss a personalized approach with you. I have experience working with adults, teens, children, groups, families, and couples, first responders, active-duty military, and veterans. When life hits hard, it’s good to talk to someone in a safe space. I will hold a space for you to embrace your feelings and vulnerability. I will listen, notice, and challenge you to take emotional risks. I don't believe in a one size fits all approach. Therapy happens at your pace.

My ideal client is someone who comes to therapy in a time of need. They might be experiencing anxiety due to life changes and transitions or they might be experiencing symptoms of anxiety for the first time and be concerned as to where the anxiety came from. The client might be processing loss or grief from a loved one or past friendships and or relationships. My ideal client will have needs such as needing to identify coping skills to get through life stressors, assistance with reaching goals. As a therapist I would be able to provide the client with a objective perspective to bounce their ideas and situations off of.

Experienced mental health therapist specializing in anxiety, trauma processing, mindfulness, spiritual/existential matters, life transitions and gender affirming support.

I have always been fascinated by what it means to be human: the choices we make, the stories we live with, and the beliefs, values and morals we choose to live by. Evaluating or becoming reacquainted with these parts of our human experience are all reasons that we find ourselves in need of a listening ear. I believe that past trauma, depression, anxiety, relational difficulties, loss and spiritual disconnection all conceal our innermost capabilities for living a healthy, happy, whole life. I am passionate about helping people create strong and meaningful relationships with those they love. No relationship is too far gone.
