Are you anxious, always irritated or feel guilty for no reason? Do mood swings cause problems in your life? Do you keep making the same mistakes over and over? Sadly, many people manage the symptoms with prescriptions, street drugs, or alcohol, often resulting in making things worse. These treatments are meant to be temporary, and never really solve the problem. As the drugs become less effective their lives spiral out of control. These people feel increasingly anxious, hopeless and finally start pushing away friends and loved ones. Isolation becomes the norm, and loneliness takes over. But it doesnt have to be this way!

Sometimes life is just a lot! Whether we’re wading through a world on fire or just trying to feel better however we know how, it’s nice to have other hands to help us hold it all. Therapy can be a solid place to find your footing and feel supported. I’d love to be in it with you.
I’m a counseling intern at Desert Lotus Counseling, currently completing my second-year MSW practicum. When working with people, I really believe clients should be the tellers of their own stories, so that you feel fully listened to and our therapeutic relationship stays as collaborative as possible.

Maybe life feels like a train wreck (or, worse yet, dull and boring) at the moment, but with some help: you've got this. I work with women, especially, who are quietly considering making life changes and are learning not to fear "upset" on their ways to living freely as the beautiful gifts to the universe each of us is! Time to learn to love everything about you-- you deserve an engaging and joyful life. While therapy can be scary, plan on laughing a lot if you're working with me to discover how liberating it is to live authentically. As an advanced level ETT™ specialist, I'm again offering emergency and rapid resolution of PTSD.

I help clients with relationship issues, stress and anxiety, complex trauma, and PTSD. My clients often find themselves excelling in high-stress careers while struggling with perfectionism, self-criticism, or self-doubt. They may be caught in self-destructive behaviors or patterns they don’t fully understand, or wrestling with frustrating, confusing inner conflicts. Many have tried therapy before and gained a cognitive understanding of their problems, but still don’t feel better in a way that allows for lasting, integrated change.
I am LGBTQ+ affirming, and I enjoy working with both individuals and couples from the LGBTQ+ community.

Waitlist for new clients
You’re searching for meaning or purpose in life. Perhaps you want to trust your intuition more. You feel at a crossroads. You’ve been successful in your work but feel a bit unsatisfied. You’re stable but lacking joie de vivre. You’re a creative, but not feeling all that creative right now. You sense this isn't something your sharp intellect or talk therapy can help you with. You feel your body holds wisdom for you, but you don’t know how to access it. I put decades of experience in psychotherapy and depth, creative, and contemplative processes in service of guiding and witnessing your unfolding into a more authentic, at-peace you.

As we journey through life, many factors blend to form who we are today. When we experience hurts, abuses, traumatic events, or unhealthy relationships we learn to find survival mechanisms that served their purpose at the time but are no longer effective in the present. I use a client-centered approach tailored to meet your individual needs to find the best path to healing. I chose counseling as a career because I have had a life-long passion for helping people.

What is lesbian-affirming therapy?
Lesbian-affirming therapy is a type of mental health support that fully affirms and reflects a client's lesbian identity. It is rooted in acceptance and does not attempt to change or question an individual's sexual orientation. In this type of therapy, clients work with a therapist who understands the unique experiences of lesbian women. This support is especially important, as research shows that lesbian individuals face higher rates of anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges compared to heterosexual populations. Lesbian-affirming therapy acknowledges that lesbian individuals may encounter specific stressors—such as coming out challenges, family rejection, workplace discrimination, and minority stress—that require specialized understanding and intervention. Lesbian-affirming therapists often work with clients across all age groups, from adolescents navigating their emerging identity to adults and older individuals addressing life transitions and relationship concerns. Many therapists also provide couples therapy for lesbian partners, helping them navigate relationship dynamics, communication challenges, or external stressors that may impact their relationship. It is important to note that therapists provide talk therapy and counseling services but do not prescribe medication—if medication is needed for conditions like depression or anxiety, they will coordinate care with a psychiatrist or primary care physician who can provide psychiatric medication management alongside therapeutic support.
Why should I see a lesbian therapist?
Some clients prefer to work with lesbian therapists who may bring personal lived experience to the therapeutic relationship. Choosing to work with a lesbian therapist can offer a deeper sense of connection, comfort, and shared understanding. A therapist who identifies as lesbian may require clients to give less background explanation—whether it’s about navigating romantic relationships, feeling unseen in certain spaces, or processing the impact of past relationship challenges. However, a non-lesbian therapist with strong training and a sincere commitment to LGBTQ+ affirmation can be equally effective. The most important factor is finding a therapist who respects your identity and fosters trust, safety, and understanding. However, a non-lesbian therapist with strong training and a sincere commitment to LGBTQ+ affirmation can be equally effective. The most important factor is finding a therapist who respects your identity and fosters trust, safety, and understanding. Additionally, many lesbian-affirming therapists can connect clients to other providers or community-based resources—such as bisexual support groups or LGBTQ+ organizations—that offer additional affirming spaces for connection.
How do I find a lesbian therapist?
The Psychology Today online directory is a helpful tool for finding lesbian-affirming therapists. You can use search filters to identify therapists who specialize in LGBTQ+ care and work specifically with bisexual clients. You can also filter by clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, accepted insurance, session costs, and languages spoken to find the right fit. Look for profiles where therapists explicitly mention working with lesbian clients, or where they describe their approach as identity-affirming, inclusive, or trauma-informed. Many providers will also list their own identities, which may help you find someone with shared lived experience if that is important to you. You can also look for credentials or continuing education in areas such as LGBTQ+ mental health, trauma-informed care, and intersectionality.
