About Me
With over 23 years as a mental health professional, I bring a direct, nonjudgmental approach to our work.

Approach
That steady, practical stance shapes how we work: focused sessions with clear priorities, straightforward feedback, and agreed-upon steps you can try between meetings. Whether in my Tucson office or online in English, sessions move at a purposeful pace—skill practice, short experiments, check-ins on what’s actually changing—and I’ll hold you to the commitments you choose. People ready for active collaboration and real-world progress tend to get the most from this approach.
