Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Tucson, AZ

I’m a psychologist with over 18 years of experience supporting individuals through a compassionate, client-centered approach. My background in leadership, hospital care, and outpatient settings helps me tailor treatment to each person’s unique needs. I offer holistic therapy grounded in humanistic, cognitive behavioral, and mindfulness-based approaches, and I specialize in supporting clients with mood challenges, stress, and personal growth.

I work with women who have anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, and trauma. I specialize in working with adult women with a suspicion/diagnosis of ADHD and Autism; Women who had become stuck or even more anxious in standard talk-therapy, who are so "self-aware," yet struggling with what to do next.

Do you constantly feel overwhelmed, anxious, or irritable? Maybe your mind races with “what-ifs” or worst-case scenarios. You struggle with quieting the inner critic and negative thoughts and at times feel like you’re not good enough. Do you have difficulty managing your emotions and maybe even feel emotionally numb? Maybe you find yourself feeling stuck in the past. You may be searching for a way to handle life stressors with more mastery, heal from past wounds, create stronger and more fulfilling relationships with yourself and others, or for help dealing with difficult life changes.

I specialize in advanced medication management for complex, treatment-resistant conditions. I utilize a neurobiological approach that focuses on frontal lobe/executive functioning, nervous system dysregulation, and neurotransmitter systems to diagnose and treat various concerns - ADHD/executive dysfunction, anxiety, OCD, trauma/C-PTSD, high-masking autism, personality structures, and cases where standard medication treatments have failed. While I specialize in clinical complexity, I bring that same deep, careful attention to treating anxiety, depression, and clients starting medication for the first time.

My practice is able to see clients for most mental health diagnoses, utilizing most modalities. I specialize in the treatment of addictions and trauma and my experience in these areas is vast. I most enjoy utilizing IFS, EMDR, and AEPD to address these issues. I am EMDRIA certified in EMDR and IFS level I trained.
