Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Tucson, AZ covered by Cigna

I’m a warm, direct, and collaborative therapist who believes therapy should feel both supportive and purposeful. I create a space where you don’t have to minimize your pain or have everything figured out. I work best with clients who want to understand themselves more deeply, heal from emotional wounds, and make meaningful changes. I value honesty, curiosity, and practical tools, and I’ll meet you with compassion while also helping you gently challenge patterns that keep you stuck

Are you ready to be happy, content and in love with yourself? I am here to help you achieve your goals as a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have a bachelors degree in Kinesiology, of which is the study of human movement (sports medicine) from the University of Washington. I also have a Masters degree in Psychology from Antioch University Seattle, WA. My additional credentials include the following: certified clinical supervisor, minority mental health specialist, and certified grief recovery counselor. I’m passionate about providing quality mental health care to my clients.

Since many clients feel a sense of "disloyalty" when seeking help for family issues, include a line like: "Seeking support isn't about being 'disloyal'—it's about being healthy." Do you feel like you’re "managing" your parent instead of having a relationship with them? Body: For many adult children of narcissistic parents, every phone call feels like a tactical mission. You’re constantly scanning for "mood shifts," choosing your words with extreme caution, and dealing with a hangover of guilt long after the conversation ends. It’s exhausting to be the only one trying to keep the peace. I help clients move out of "survival mode" and into a place of emotional autonomy.

I have experience with BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, women, disabilities, trauma, depression, and PTSD. My goal is to help you recognize your strengths and improve your self-compassion. I believe in the importance of the therapeutic relationship and strives to create an environment of trust, empathy, and unconditional positive regard.

Do you have concerns your child may be on the autism spectrum? Is your child or teenager struggling with ADHD, anxiety or depression, mood changes or emotional or behavioral concerns? I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and medication management for children, adolescents and young adults with particular expertise in ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, mood disorders and complex psychiatric presentations.

With extensive experience in both general and acute psychiatry as well as developmental pediatrics, I take the time to look beyond a diagnosis and understand the whole picture- including symptoms, medications, development, family dynamics and school functioning

The majority of my professional experience comes from working with justice-impacted individuals, which has given me a deeper understanding of the complex challenges, life experiences, and barriers that can shape a person’s mental health and well-being. Through this work, I have developed a strong commitment to providing compassionate, nonjudgmental care and creating a space where clients feel respected, understood, and supported.

I earned my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix and am currently pursuing my Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Counselor Education and Supervision at Walden University. My continued education reflects my commitment to ongoing growth and providing thoughtful, informed care to the individuals I serve.

If you're a physician, nurse, EMT, firefighter, police officer, or other medical professional or first responder feeling overwhelmed by chronic stress, burnout, or anxiety, know that you're not alone—and these struggles do not mean you're failing. The demands of your work are extraordinary, and it's common to carry the weight of long shifts, high-stakes decisions, and emotional exhaustion long after you clock out.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 10 years of experience, I specialize in supporting healthcare workers and first responders just like you. Having worked in a hospital setting throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, I deeply understand the unique pressures you face—the relentless pace, moral distress, compassion fatigue, and the challenge of switching off hypervigilance when you finally get home.

Healing can begin with considering how past experiences have shaped your view of self, emotional patterns, and relationships with others. Grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and the weight of patterns carried across a lifetime have a way of becoming invisible — so woven into daily life that they no longer feel like patterns at all. This is how things feel. You may have tried to push through, stay busy, or simply manage — and found yourself back in the same place, wondering why nothing seems to stick. What most people don't realize is that the experiences keeping them stuck aren't just stored in memory — they live in the body. In the tension you hold without knowing it. In the way your breath shifts in certain rooms, around certain people, in certain moments that shouldn't feel as heavy as they do. This is where the real work happens — not just in understanding what you've been through, but in helping your nervous system finally catch up to what your mind already knows. I bring a particular kind of presence to this work — calm, grounded, and genuinely unshakeable. Not because the hard stuff doesn't land, but because it doesn't destabilize me. For clients carrying trauma, that steadiness matters more than almost anything else. You need someone who can hold the full weight of what you bring in without flinching — and keep showing up the same way, session after session. What we build together goes beyond the therapy room. Complex relationship patterns, grief, and the slow erosion of self-confidence are connected — shaped by the same experiences, reinforcing the same conclusions about who you are and what you deserve. We'll trace those connections, understand what your nervous system has been protecting, and build something more sustainable than simply getting through the day.
