Sahuarita was named after the great number of saguaros in the desert community and was incorporated in 1911. The town built a lake named Sahuarita Lake to provide their residents with a place to fish, boat, hunt, swim, and just hang out. Sahuarita has seen a 529 percent population growth in the past decade and the residents mostly work in management, business, computer, and healthcare jobs. 

Sometimes, jobs can be difficult to hold onto if you have a mental health disorder that has gone untreated. If you are having trouble keeping a job and do not know why, it may benefit you to talk to one of Sahuarita’s many dedicated mental health professionals who are trained to help with this and other issues.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of therapy experience. I graduated with my Bachelors in psychology at Brigham Young University and received my Masters in social work at Arizona State University. I wanted to become a therapist to help people in need, and I have felt honored to do so. I have extensive experience working with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, life challenges, relationship issues and addictions. I use a person centered approach to therapy- where you, the client, drive your goals and outcomes. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing. I feel that it is important that you leave each session with tangible, useful, coping strategies, tools and resources. I provide these, as well as weekly assignments and challenges to help you apply these strategies. I use my role as therapist to listen and ensure that my clients feel heard, as well as provide real therapeutic information to help you. I look forward to empowering you to enjoy a more peaceful, whole life.

I have a flair for helping people effect positive change in their lives. My offices are comfortable safe spaces to talk about difficult things and make tough decisions. The road to emotional wellness can be painful and challenging, so I try very hard to be encouraging and supportive while change is occurring. Hurt, pain and anger do not define who we are; it opens our emotional pathways to inform us of the need and time for change. Depression is usually an indication of the depth of personal disruption, so when it’s appropriate, I offer advice to validate feelings, encourage healing and to dismantle irrational thinking.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who has been providing services for approximately 15 years. I have worked with a wide variety of clients with various issues. I have experience with anxiety, depression, body image issues, domestic violence, adolescent issues, relationship problems, among a few. I see clients of all ages and different backgrounds. I view the role of therapy as a team process where we work together to find a solution to problems in order to meet specific goals. My background includes cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, solution focused therapy, and applied behavior analysis. In addition to my role as a counselor, I am also a board certified behavior analyst and have worked with adults with developmental disabilities for 10 years. I do not believe in judging others and will provide you with a sense of comfort when discussing sensitive topics. Together, we can discuss personal issues that may be difficult to talk about with other people with whom you are close. Discussing issues with a therapist may offer you a different perspective than someone who knows you on a personal level. For this reason, counseling is a good option when it comes to sensitive topics. I look forward to getting to know you better!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has 9 years of experience working in the mental health field. Currently practicing in Idaho focusing on mental health/behavioral challenges, but have also worked in Utah, Kentucky, and Indiana working with challenges related to mental health, behavioral health, addiction, relationships, personality disorders, culture, spirituality, rural life, and homelessness. Some of the therapies which I utilize is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Reality Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. I believe that healing and understanding occurs when there is a strong client-counselor relationship which is caring, non-judgmental, and focuses from the client's point of view. I believe in the resiliency of people and the importance of bringing to the surface internal strengths and values which individuals can use to empower themselves with the ability to move forward in their lives. I also focus on the power of connection, and how connecting, whether it be to relationships, spirituality, values, the present moment, nature, or ones-self, leads to healing and growth.
