Hello! I primarily use IFS and can help you reconnect and build relationships with all parts of yourself. I can offer you a pathway to your inner world and journey alongside you as we rediscover what was lost, returning to parts stranded in dark corners of the past with tenderness and compassion.
Hi there—I’m so glad you’re here. Life has thrown me my share of curveballs: childhood trauma, family struggles with addiction, deep losses, and the constant upheaval of moves and changing homes. Those experiences taught me what it feels like to question your worth—and how powerful it is to reclaim it.
Since 2022, I’ve been walking alongside people who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or simply trying to make sense of being human in a complicated world. As an EMDR-certified and EFT-trained therapist, I love helping clients uncover the roots of their pain and build the skills to heal and thrive. My approach is trauma-informed, attachment-focused, and always centered on you—your story, your goals, your pace.
I work with teens and adults specializing in complex PTSD, anxiety, depression, and other trauma related mental health issues. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just curious about what therapy might offer, I’m here to help you reconnect with your strengths and move toward the life you want—with compassion, curiosity, and practical tools for lasting change.

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 an LGBTQIA+ Therapist in Glendale
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Glendale starts with choosing someone who offers identity-affirming care. You may want support related to gender identity, sexuality, family relationships, stress, anxiety, depression, or life changes. Look for a therapist whose profile lists experience with LGBTQIA+ populations, affirmative therapy, gender-diverse care, or World Professional Association for Transgender Health training. The right fit goes beyond credentials — a therapist’s bio can show how they talk about identity, respect, and what to expect in sessions.
In a mid-size city like Glendale, local options may give you a mix of in-person and virtual choices, while virtual therapy can expand access to LGBTQ affirming therapy in Glendale and nearby Arizona communities. As you compare therapists, consider appointment availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and whether their background or approach matches what you want from care. Provider profiles can also help you spot clear fit signals, such as experience with therapy for gender identity in Glendale, LGBTQ counseling, or support for queer and transgender people.
Therapy in Glendale can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps make that part clearer before you book. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs, compare LGBTQ friendly therapists in Glendale, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
