Hi, I’m Amy.
I am a licensed professional counselor in Tucson, Arizona working with individual adults and families.
About Me
I am a seasoned therapist experienced in working with families, and adults. I have a master's degree in marriage and family therapy and have been active in behavioral health for 30 years. I like working with blended families and families dealing with interruptions caused by hospitalizations, jobs, deployments, etc. I also work a lot with adults who feel held back by trauma, anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues.
If you ask yourself now what you most want, an answer might come to mind, but you might also immediately criticize yourself for that answer or tell yourself why you can't have what you want . "I want to get married" (but I have social anxiety). "I want to live on my own" (but I'm too depressed and I can't afford it). I do a lot of work with the information in the parentheses; in what we tell ourselves about ourselves and about the situations we are in.
What to expect from therapy
We’ll spend our first few sessions getting to know each other (mostly me getting to know you). I’ll want to know what’s troubling you, when it started, how it’s affected various aspects of your life, and if you have tried anything to feel better. If you have tried things, what are they and how well have they worked? We’ll also talk about what you’d like to see different in your life and what the barriers are to obtaining or achieving the life you desire. After that, we work the plan. Sometimes, you’ll be excited to share a success, and we’ll celebrate! Sometimes you may feel stuck, and we’ll strategize. We’ll always go at your pace and we’ll always focus on your goals.
