Transgender Therapists in Tucson, AZ

I truly care about what you are facing. Life can be overwhelming, and it's not always easy to navigate the challenges that come our way. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or the aftermath of trauma, know that you don't have to face it alone. I am here to offer you the compassionate support and guidance you deserve. Together, we will explore the depths of your experiences, untangle the complexities, and pave the way for healing and personal growth. You deserve to live a life that is aligned with your values, filled with joy, and enriched by meaningful connections.

Do you feel like an imposter? Does it feel like everyone else got a rulebook that you didn't? Are you trying to overcome the effects of trauma, whether from a major life event, or from many smaller things throughout your life that have eaten away at your self-esteem? I'm guessing that you have many negative beliefs about yourself that you know, logically, aren't true. It's really hard to turn that logic into true belief about your worth as a human being, though. I can help you to go from just knowing in your head that you're worthy of love and a fulfilling life to truly believing it deep down. That makes a huge difference!

You feel stressed out and exhausted. Between work and family life, you are constantly busy but as soon as you lay down at night your mind starts racing and it keeps you from the sleep you so desperately need. You feel like you are working all the time, but you never get anything accomplished. You can’t relax, even when you have down time, and it’s hard to be alone with your thoughts. You feel like you are failing in the areas of your life that are the most important to you. If you could just break out of this unhealthy cycle, you would be happier and more successful in both your personal and professional life.

As a social worker, my goal is to help others reach their goals and overcome their struggles. Coming from a background of community mental health, I believe that everyone deserves to have their voice heard, believed, and understood. I work with people of all backgrounds and needs. Compassionate care is important to me, and I strive to be a safe person with whom others can connect. I am not the expert in my clients' lives', and therefore aim to collaboratively face and work through clients' struggles with them.

Feeling stuck and unhappy but unsure about how to move forward? That is exactly what therapy is for, and I'm excited to help you explore what will bring you healing, meaning, and fulfillment! I always aim to meet my clients where they are, identifying and following their driving values to create both every-day and deeper change. My approach is based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) theories. My therapeutic style is flexible, open-minded, and well-rounded, acknowledging the person as a whole rather than as a diagnosis or a problem to be solved.

Viewing my role in clients’ lives as a privilege, I approach my work with warmth, candor, and a genuine belief in one's potential for growth. I provide therapy for individuals across the lifespan. Difficulties in adulthood often stem from longstanding patterns of relating to ourselves and others that are no longer serving us. Through greater awareness of these patterns and our internal emotional world, we are better able to cope and connect.

I have an informal practice focusing on real world solutions and living the life you have always wanted. The biggest predictor of positive outcomes is the strength of the relationship between therapist and client, so I encourage you to get started today by giving me a call and scheduling a free 10 minute consultation. I hold licensure as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Mental Health Professional with experience in both adult/adolescent therapy and crisis intervention.

If you're LGBT+ or neurodiverse, you know how murky and chaotic this road can be. It's a difficult journey, figuring yourself out and untangling yourself from your trauma. I'm here to help. I take a comfortable, compassionate, slightly humorous approach to therapy where I focus on self-empowerment in the face of complicated systems of oppression, collaboration with my clients where we go wherever you want to go in your journey, and discovering the joy of living authentically.

I believe in a collaborative approach to therapy, and seek to empower my clients to make personal decisions about their treatment under guidance. My worldview and theoretical approach is rooted in a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and holistic framework and utilizes interventions from methodologies such as Somatic Experiencing, existentialism, and person-centered psychotherapy. I enjoy working with a wide range of demographics and issues, but my ideal client would be someone seeking help with integrating past trauma, a harm reduction approach to substance use, disordered eating, and/or moving through a life transition.

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.

If you’re ADHD, autistic, gifted, “twice exceptional,” or otherwise neurodivergent, you’ve got a specialized, high-performance brain. When you’re doing something you love, everything just works. It's the rest of life that's incredibly stressful. Neurodivergent people experience higher rates of depression, anxiety, trauma, school refusal, substance abuse, you name it. Neurodivergent people hear, “Try harder," but your whole life is harder. "Try harder" is cruel and a strategic mistake. You're not going to rewire your brain, and why should you? But, when you change your environment to match your brain...everything just works.

I am passionate about people, relationships, and healing. I believe the greatest joy, peace, and happiness we experience in life comes from a deep connection with ourselves and with those we love. There are many reasons we don't experience these connections: trauma, attachment wounds, addictions, lack of modeling, mental health issues, and the inevitable stressors of life. I offer healing and compassion in a safe therapeutic relationship where tools, knowledge, insight, and understanding will strengthen and heal connections with yourself and others.

I truly care about what you are experiencing. Having the right support is the key to being able to overcome areas that are keeping you stuck. You have managed to cope and survive this long, but perhaps it feels like you don't have all of the tools or insights to find true relief from symptoms or difficulties you are experiencing. You are constantly weighed down by anxiety, holding yourself to high standards with little time for restoration, or haunted by the lingering effects of trauma. Perhaps you have tried therapy before and wonder how to really get the most of it.

You are likely seeking therapy feeling a strange mixture of despair and hope. You might be struggling with patterns of behavior, past traumas, or painful emotions; but you also believe that change is possible. Together we can establish safety, look underneath your presenting symptoms, and harness your inherent capacity to heal.

I specialize in providing support for anxiety, depression, and disordered eating, tailoring my approach to meet your unique needs.

Telehealth Only; Do you struggle with imposter syndrome? Do you often find yourself comparing yourself to others around you? Do you worry that your thoughts or experiences are "abnormal" or shameful?
