Female Therapists in Catalina, AZ

Are you a driven professional who's feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and exhausted? It's time to reclaim your life, energy, and passion. I specialize in helping individuals like you overcome burnout, regain balance, and reignite your sense of purpose. I understand that you're busy and want results now. If you've tried therapy before and felt it was a waste of time, you're not alone—I get it. My primary goal is to help you maximize the benefits of therapy at a pace that suits you. I specialize in working with motivated professionals who are looking to enhance both personal and professional satisfaction.

I have a unique background and heart to support emergency responders because I am an EMT and retired law enforcement officer. I have been a licensed therapist in Arizona since 2007. I believe first responders are very strong and resilient people, but sometimes they need support by a licensed professional who understands their jobs and work culture. I can help them build resilience, learn additional coping tools to get better outcomes at work and at home, and I can provide a safe and understanding environment to "off-load" and process some of the intrusive effects of trauma they've experienced (accepting adult clients only).

We all seek peace, happiness, love, and belonging. My passion is helping people connect in healthy ways and healing wounds that keep us stuck in old behaviors. I am committed to assisting you in becoming your best self. I provide a safe, non-judgmental, supportive environment for self-exploration and personal growth. I view therapy as a collaborative journey that can help tune into your authentic self, develop attainable goals, and work toward sustainable, meaningful change. By holistically addressing and integrating mind, body and spirit, all kinds of challenges -- addictions, anxiety, depression, stress, relationships -- can be better understood and overcome.

Seeking help? Good for you.. and remember, there is nothing “wrong with you”. Like many, you have been faced with challenges that have overwhelmed your available resources. Each person has the capacity to function in a healthy way. I believe that emotional responses, especially stress, occur on a spectrum that can range from healthy to dysfunctional. My goal is to create an environment in which you can regard yourself positively while learning to work through helpful solutions.

I work with adolescents and adults, struggling with painful emotions, to create a more meaningful life, cope more effectively with stress and improve their relationships.

My approach begin with listening and developing a non-judgmental understanding of what brings you to therapy at this time in your life. We then work together on helping you move toward the life you want to be living.

My ideal client is someone who feels emotionally dysregulated, has lost their sense of identity, and no longer finds joy in activities they once enjoyed. They may feel lost or be experiencing a significant life transition. These individuals are seeking to reconnect with themselves, discover their purpose, and live a meaningful life. They are eager to experience healthy emotions and foster positive connections and relationships. They are open to new possibilities and are willing to explore what a different, fulfilling life could look like. These clients are committed to healing from their trauma and continuing on a growth journey.

When we are struggling with our mental health, sometimes talk therapy doesn't feel helpful. Often, learning new things we can do to feel better is much more effective. This is where I come in!

Using a very present day focused, action-oriented style, I help people eliminate problematic anxiety (or panic) and repetitive cycles of depression. If your goal is to improve your mental health through empowered action- I can help!

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.
