Therapists in Tucson, AZ

Welcome! My approach to therapy is rooted in the concept of validation and change. I believe in the role of compassionate understanding of our histories and ourselves to make sense of why we do what we do. When this understanding is coupled with a commitment to growing and healing (a commitment I will help you sustain when the going gets tough!), we are able to make desired changes, and in turn, transform from just getting by to thriving. I work with adults in areas of trauma/PTSD, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, personality disorders, suicidal ideations, and other concerns.

Do you find yourself in the same relationship patterns over and over again? Do you feel like your past experiences are ruining your present life? Are you ready to start feeling like the person you know you really are deep down? I'm here to tell you that it is possible to have fulfilling relationships and deep, meaningful connection is within your reach.

I have specialized training in couples counseling, trauma, and substance use disorders. The ideal couples clients are those that have a desire to gain practical communication skills to enhance their relationship and decrease conflicts. I utilize the Gottman method to help learn skills necessary for this. I have training in multiple trauma therapies which meet each client's need, greatly increasing positive outcomes. When working with those that have substance issues I work with the whole person, not just the use. I believe in a decision making model.

My ideal client may be struggling with anxiety, depression, or trauma, seeking guidance through life's challenges. They desire a safe space to explore their feelings and experiences, needing support to navigate relational difficulties or grief. They aspire to find inner strength, resilience, and a sense of purpose amidst adversity. Their goal is to achieve emotional well-being, heal from past wounds, and cultivate meaningful connections. They seek a therapist who understands their unique identity and empowers them to thrive authentically.

I am a child and family counselor at Resilience Therapy. I have worked with children and young adults (ages 5-24) for the last ten years and it has become a passion of mine to be there to help them grow into individuals they are proud of. Personal experience has shown me that even in the toughest of times, strength can be found. That is where resilience is born. It is my goal to help each of my clients identify their strengths and learn to use them to build the life they want.

I am thrilled to reopen the doors of my private practice, as I was not able to counsel for several months. I missed the challenge and satisfaction of working with the courageous people who choose to question the status quo and risk change. Everyone whether single.married,gay (LGBTQ), straight,parents, grandparents, adolescents,overweight, underweight, addicted, sober, angry, anxious or depressed.........all are deserving of a safe place to be heard, explore, understand and to be understood. My goal is to exercise my experience and expertise to create and support each client’s safe place.

You may be coming here as an adult looking for support to manage everything going on even though it looks like you have it all together from an outsider’s perspective. People tell you “you’re killing it” but you feel burnt out and lost. Maybe you’re a stressed out parent trying to help your child or teen manage their emotional well being and they will talk to anyone besides you as their parent. Perhaps, you’re at an earlier stage of parenting and are pregnant, in the adoption process or navigating postpartum, needing space to figure out what this new role means. You may have tried therapy before and had difficulty clicking with a therapist or have been looking for weeks, even months, to find someone who’s bio you connect with.

I enjoy working with teens and adults from all backgrounds! I usually connect well with people who had developmental or complex trauma in childhood, as well as young adults struggling with the transition to "adulting." I have experience helping with low self-esteem, general anxiety, social anxiety, chronic illness, codependency, trauma, and depression. I believe we all go through challenges in life and need to work on our mental health to reach our full potential. You can do it, even when it's scary! You are the expert on your own life and have more strengths than you realize! I would be honored to meet with you.

I am experienced in assisting individuals work through life challenges, such as anxiety, depression and mood disorders. I specialize in Trauma and Addiction issues. My priority is to provide my clients a safe environment to facilitate the insight they need to overcome their current obstacles, which includes the use of art therapy.

Note: Potential clients only, no soliciting. I have been a clinician in residential treatment for over 10 years. During that time, I treated adults of all ages with a myriad of issues. Since everyone's needs are different, I have learned to adapt my approach to the individual and their particular goals. Self-motivation to find healing is paramount to beginning the healing process. I primarily work with professionals and those willing to pursue treatment on their own. Additionally, I am a clinical supervisor and also work with Somatic Experiencing students to assist them with obtaining their certification. My practice is Telehealth.

CLINICAL, SPORT & PERFORMANCE PSYCHOLOGY: Mental Game Coach certified by the International Golf Psychology Association. My practice includes working with athletes, performers, and the like-minded. That "thing" of yours (pre-performance anxiety, choking, feeling like a fraud, self-sabotage, etc.) has created enough problems. Enough already. What would you be doing if that "thing" was not in your way? Imagine making that putt, rocking that assignment, nailing that performance, or enjoying the one you are with.

I provide psychotherapy to individuals, couples, families, adolescents and children. My general areas of interest are autistic spectrum disorders, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationships, eating disorders and trauma, and obsessive compulsive problems. My experience has been that psychological change and changes in life circumstances become possible and more probable when a person understands how their mind works; how thoughts and feelings influence what happens internally and in relation to others. Therapy can help a patient obtain a greater degree of control in managing feeling states and the thoughts related to these.

At the core of my practice is loving-kindness, the genuine wish for you to be happy. Ideal clients seek relief from anxiety or depression. They grapple with life transitions, craving self-understanding and growth. Open to exploring their beliefs, they aspire to live authentically, fostering meaningful connections, and are committed to positive change.

I work with a range of issues from substance abuse, stress, depression, couples issues, trauma and abuse, parent guidance issues and more. I have been in private practice for more than 25 years, working both short term and long term with a variety of clients. Therapy is not lightly undertaken. My job is to help you with the problems you bring to the table, and help you discover the answers that are hiding within you. I work in a warm client-centered, interactional style, and actively verbally engage in the process with you. I blend traditional techniques with modern.

The process of seeking help can be rough and it’s normal to have fears about trusting someone new to discuss difficult topics. However, it is also moments like this that provide us the opportunity for lasting transformation. Challenging times in our lives offer the potential to create lifelong change through abandoning unhelpful patterns of living, which were formed in our personal histories. Life is full of challenging transitions, and it can be experienced as emotionally overwhelming. In these moments, we can reconnect with our internal compass in our path to healing.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Whatever your problem, I will help you find a solution. Therapy is enriching and life changing as you raise your awareness and learn new ways to handle your life and emotions. There is no reason to stay in bad relationships, a job you hate, being stuck in anxiety/anger/depression or trauma. I will guide you to emotional freedom full of meaning and purpose.

Healing the mind, body, and spirit is the foundation for personal growth and true success. My role as your therapist is to assist you in navigating and overcoming difficult life challenges, past traumatic experiences, and current relationship problems. My therapy style is tailored to your unique personality and individual needs, while integrating a whole-health approach. In all of our sessions together I will incorporate principles of personal success through empowerment, spirituality and whole health wellness.
