I offer therapy to women in Tucson and across Arizona
As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified ADHD Clinical Services Provider in Tucson, Arizona, I specialize in helping women navigate life transitions, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and grief, with a focus on practical, sustainable change.
In sessions, I use approaches that help you make sense of the different “parts” of yourself, build awareness, and make steady shifts over time. I also pay attention to how things like food, sleep, movement, and daily routines affect mood and focus, and I enjoy weaving in health-supportive habits for clients who are interested.
Outside of work, I stay curious about health and nutrition research, spend time on my bike and outdoors, and enjoy being with friends and family. A fairly recent addition to that family is Alfie, an old dog who came into my life during a season of grief and reminds me daily that loss and connection can coexist.
My style is grounded, compassionate, and direct. I show up as a real person, listen closely, and collaborate with you to create changes that feel realistic, sustainable, and aligned with your values.
Who I Work With
Many of the people I work with are juggling a lot—work or school, relationships, family, health—and might feel stuck or like they’re falling behind in ways that others don’t always see. You might be hard on yourself, tired of feeling scattered or tense, or unsure how to break old patterns even though you “know better” on paper. The stress can really add up.
In our work together, we’ll slow things down enough to really understand what’s going on, then make changes in small, manageable steps. I tend to check in about what’s helping and what isn’t, offer structure when things feel chaotic, and leave room for humor and real conversation alongside the hard stuff.
My hope is that therapy becomes a place where you feel less alone with what you’re carrying, more understood in the ways you struggle, and more equipped with tools you can actually use in your daily life. The goal is for you to walk away from sessions feeling a bit more grounded, supported, and clearer about your next steps.
