Therapist

Virtual • Tucson, AZ


With over 40 years of experience as a clinical social worker, I hold a deep respect for the uniqueness of each person's story. My approach is grounded in psychodynamic theory, which means I work with you to explore how past experiences may be shaping your current thoughts, emotions, and relationships.

I offer a safe supportive virtual space for older teens and adults who are ready to reflect, grow, and move toward lasting change. Whether you're navigation anxiety, trauma, life transitions, or high-conflict relationship dynamics, I bring warmth, insight, and seasoned clinical skill to help you better understand yourself and create a more fulfilling life.

Therapist

I’ve spent over 22 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, helping people just like you navigate life’s biggest challenges. I'm licensed in Texas, Utah, Arizona, and Nevada.

My personal belief is therapy is a space for growth, discovery, and healing. It’s a brave step, and I’m here to guide you.

Maybe you're tired of feeling anxious or depressed. Maybe you're working through a difficult loss or a past trauma. Whatever brings you here, we'll work together to find a path that feels right for you.

You will set the pace and the agenda of our sessions. One week we may work on day to day obstacles. The next week, we may work on past issues and traumas. It's YOUR TIME!
