I believe therapy is a place where you can finally feel heard without judgment, make sense of what you’ve been through, and develop the confidence and tools to create a life that feels more grounded, meaningful, and authentically yours.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 13 years of experience helping people navigate the moments in life when everything feels overwhelming, uncertain, or simply too much. I work with children, adolescents, and adults facing anxiety, trauma, depression, low self-worth, and major life transitions. Whether you’re struggling with the weight of your past or feeling stuck in the present, I offer a warm, judgment-free space to feel truly heard, understand yourself more deeply, and begin creating meaningful change.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to you. I draw from trauma-informed care, EMDR, and evidence-based techniques to help you understand what’s beneath the surface, work through what’s holding you back, and build healthier ways of coping. Together, we’ll focus on healing, growth, and creating lasting change—not simply managing symptoms.
You don’t have to navigate this season of life alone. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel vulnerable, but you deserve a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported. If you’re ready to begin, I’d be honored to walk alongside you as you work toward healing, clarity, and a life that feels more like your own.

At Thriveworks, Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a widely recognized and evidence-based form of psychotherapy or talk therapy. It focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns, emotions, and behaviors that can contribute to various mental health issues or challenges that people are struggling with.
Cognitive behavioral therapists specialize in Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and can help you to identify and comprehend your thought patterns, which often encompass automatic negative thoughts, cognitive distortions, and self-defeating beliefs. Once these negative thought patterns are pinpointed, cognitive behavioral therapists aim to challenge and replace them with the objective of fostering more constructive and logical thinking. In addition, these therapists place significant emphasis on implementing positive behavioral changes based on the newly established, healthier thought patterns.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is particularly effective for addressing conditions like anxiety disorders, depression, phobias, and obsessive-compulsive disorders. It focuses on identifying and modifying negative thought patterns and behaviors, making it well-suited for issues related to distorted thinking and emotional regulation.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
The success rate of CBT varies depending on the intentions of the client and their condition(s).
The selection between cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is based on an individual’s unique needs and challenges. CBT is commonly chosen for addressing conditions such as anxiety and depression, whereas DBT is especially beneficial for individuals dealing with borderline personality disorder, emotional regulation issues, and difficulties in interpersonal relationships.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with our Thriveworks therapists in Tucson, AZ is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Generally, CBT is considered a short-term therapy, typically lasting for about 12 to 20 weekly sessions. In some cases, it might extend to around 16 to 20 sessions for more complex issues.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
