I've always been fascinated by the resilience of the human spirit. If you are working through what happened without judgment and identity what could help you keep going.
The focus is to help individuals heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. I achieve this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a treatment plan. I help individuals focus on the Solution.
I'm a licensed psychotherapist with 34 years of experience. I do my best to meet you "where you are" and to offer compassionate presence as you progress through your personal process of self-discovery, self-identification, and evolution.
I'm honored to be part of your journey of transformation. I approach sessions in collaboration, as you learn to free yourself from judgment, criticism, and pain; to change negative perceptions that do not serve; and to experience more ease and peace in life.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker born and raised in Los Angeles, California. I earned my Bachelor’s in Psychology from Skidmore College and my Master of Social Work from Columbia University, where I specialized in clinical practice with families. Since 2021, I have worked as an Associate Clinical Social Worker under the supervision of licensed professionals, gaining extensive experience with children, teens, and families in private practice, community mental health, and high-risk youth in the foster care system.
I am passionate about supporting children, teens, and families as they navigate life’s challenges. I value creating a safe, welcoming space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported. I understand that seeking therapy can feel intimidating, and I want my clients to know that I approach every session with warmth, empathy, and respect for each person’s unique experiences. My goal is to help clients feel empowered to explore their thoughts and emotions and build the skills and confidence to thrive in their daily lives.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Anaheim, CA
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Anaheim starts with identifying someone who offers identity-affirming care and has experience with the concerns you want to address. This may include gender identity, sexual orientation, family dynamics, relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for bios that name LGBTQIA+ populations directly or reference affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse experience, or other relevant background. Finding an affirming therapist matters beyond clinical training alone, since fit can shape how comfortable the care process feels from the first conversation.
In a mid-sized city like Anaheim, you may find a range of local therapists, while more specialized LGBTQIA+ experience can vary by neighborhood, schedule, and appointment format. Virtual therapy can expand your options beyond nearby offices while keeping in-person care available if you prefer a local setting. To narrow your search, compare appointment availability, therapeutic approach, therapist background, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist profiles before booking can help you see how they describe their work with LGBTQIA+ people, their communication style, and what a first session may involve.
Therapy in Anaheim can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find LGBTQIA+ therapists who are accepting new patients, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person appointments. You can browse therapists, compare bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
