I have worked with adults and children for over 30 years. My work bridges a broad spectrum of life issues with the belief that we each carry a unique inner authority that directs us to develop according to our own truth.

My work has a Jungian orientation. In addition to verbal therapy with adults we may incorporate dream work, art, EMDR, or hypnotherapy.

I work virtually now and no longer treat children.

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 San Bernardino

Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in San Bernardino starts with identifying what kind of support you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, identity exploration, or the stress that can come with navigating bias and discrimination, a provider with experience in LGBTQIA+ care can make a meaningful difference. Licensed therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists each bring different training — and many providers in San Bernardino specialize in approaches like affirmative therapy, CBT, and trauma-informed care.

Practical factors matter, too. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions in the San Bernardino area or virtual appointments, which can expand your options across California. Look for a provider whose schedule works with yours and whose bio gives you a clear sense of their style and approach. A free phone consultation can help you decide if a provider is the right match before you commit to a session.

Therapy in San Bernardino can be expensive without coverage, but affordable options exist when you use in-network insurance. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and your out-of-pocket expense may be as low as $0 per session — though costs vary based on your location and specific coverage.
