I believe every relationship holds the capacity to heal, grow, and transform. If you’ve found your way here, it probably means you’re ready for change. You don’t have to face it alone. My passion is helping couples break free from painful cycles, rebuild trust, and rediscover the closeness that first brought them together. Clients often tell me that what makes my work different is the balance of honesty and compassion I bring into the room. I won’t shy away from the hard truths, but I deliver them with care and a deep commitment to helping you thrive.

Hello! I am a quirky black nerd or “blerd” who is a member of the LGBTQIA+ community and I am passionate about mental wellness. As a member of many marginalized demographics, I understand the importance and impact of intersectionality not just on the macro level through laws and policies but also in the day to day. As an LCSW I graduated in 2018 from Arizona State University with a Masters in Social Work Magna Cum Laude and with my Bachelors in Psychology with minor in Sociology Magna Cum Laude from the University of Arizona in 2013. I have worked in behavioral health my whole adult life thus far. I seek to lead with non judgement, empathy and humor to connect with others. I am a semi recreationally retired athlete (rugby and basketball), massive lover of dogs, kite flying, ocean drums and “hot takes”. I look forward to connecting and ultimately helping you move forward on your healing journey in life.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Scottsdale, AZ


I am a double board-certified Psychiatric–Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of experience across the continuum of psychiatric care, including acute psychiatric emergencies, inpatient and outpatient psychiatry, geriatric mental health, intellectual and developmental disability services, and healthcare management. I hold a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) and am currently completing my Doctorate, reflecting my ongoing commitment to clinical excellence, evidence-based practice, and lifelong learning.

Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals and families navigating a wide range of psychiatric conditions, from situational anxiety and depression to severe and persistent mental illness. My clinical experience includes extensive work with schizophrenia and psychotic disorders, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), trauma-related conditions, and mood instability across the lifespan. I am particularly experienced in caring for geriatric patients, individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and patients with complex medication regimens requiring careful evaluation, simplification, and long-term stabilization.

I also work closely with college-aged patients and adults who are navigating academic pressure, career transitions, family dynamics, identity development, and the cumulative stressors that can emerge during periods of high responsibility or change. Many of my patients are high-functioning individuals who appear “put together” on the outside but struggle internally with anxiety, rumination, intrusive thoughts, emotional dysregulation, or burnout. Others are managing chronic psychiatric illness while striving to maintain independence, relationships, and quality of life.

Frequently asked questions

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Glendale

Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Glendale, AZ starts with identifying what kind of support matters most to you. Some people are looking for help with anxiety, depression, or relationship concerns that intersect with their identity. Others may want a provider experienced with coming out, gender identity exploration, or the specific stressors that LGBTQIA+ individuals face. A licensed provider — such as an LPC, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist — with affirming training can make a meaningful difference in how supported you feel from the first session.

When comparing providers, look beyond credentials to understand their approach. Reading a provider's bio can help you learn how they work with LGBTQIA+ clients and whether their style resonates with you. A free phone consultation is another way to gauge fit before committing — you can ask about their experience, discuss your goals, and see if the connection feels right.

Therapy in Glendale can be expensive without coverage, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with 585 insurance plans, making it easier to find an affirming provider who fits both your needs and your budget.
