I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience providing telehealth therapy in Arizona and Iowa. I specialize in working with women who are dealing with anxiety, burnout, emotional overwhelm, and relationship stress—often those who are high-functioning and used to holding a lot for others.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I focus on helping clients slow down, understand their emotional patterns, and build practical tools for regulation, boundaries, and self-worth. Therapy with me is a supportive space where you don’t have to push through alone or have everything figured out.
Clients often come to me feeling exhausted, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that no longer work for them. Over time, they tend to feel more grounded, more self-trusting, and more able to navigate life with clarity and balance.

I specialize in ADHD, family dynamics, LGBTQIA+ identity and exploration, and relationship challenges, as well as anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, anger management, grief and loss, cultural and ethnic concerns, maternal and men's mental health, and chronic conditions.
My style is affirming, inquisitive, and solution-oriented. I aim to create a collaborative, judgment-free space where you feel supported, seen, and empowered to make meaningful change.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Phoenix
Finding the right LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Phoenix starts with knowing what kind of support you're looking for. Some people seek a provider who shares their identity or has lived experience within the LGBTQIA+ community. Others prioritize a specific specialty — like anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, gender identity, or trauma. Both approaches are valid, and many providers on Headway bring a combination of professional training and personal understanding to their practice.
Phoenix and the surrounding metro area — including Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, and Glendale — are home to a wide range of licensed therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists who provide affirming care. When reviewing a provider's profile, look for details about their therapeutic approach, the populations they work with, and whether they offer virtual or in-person sessions. A provider's bio can tell you a lot about their style and whether they may be a good match.
Therapy in Phoenix can be costly without insurance, but in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information to see estimated costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Every provider listed is accepting new patients, so you can move forward on your timeline.
