Hi, I’m Christina. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps teens, families, and adults navigate anxiety, trauma, and life’s high-stress seasons. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and supported — a place where you don’t have to hold it all together or figure things out alone.

In addition to private practice, I work in community crisis response, supporting individuals and families during difficult or overwhelming situations. This experience helps me stay calm, practical, and focused on what truly helps when life feels heavy.

Therapist

I have found my own personal healing to be intimately connected to nature, and it is here that I believe that we can all begin to rediscover our intrinsic humanity and let go of those things that distract us from our higher selves. In my spare time, I work as an outdoor educator and manage my own private practice and guide Outdoor Retreats

I believe it is helpful and important to translate what is discussed in session and in telehealth meetings into lived experience and real change.

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 an LGBTQIA Therapist in Phoenix

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Phoenix starts with identifying care that is affirming, specific, and aligned with your needs. Many people look for support related to gender identity, sexuality, coming out, relationship concerns, family dynamics, anxiety, or depression. As you compare therapists, look for bios that mention affirmative therapy, gender-diverse experience, WPATH training, gender identity counseling, sexuality counselling, gay therapy, or LGBTQIA+-affirming couples support.

Phoenix has a large mental health care market, and a wide set of options can take time to sort through. In-person appointments may fit well if you prefer an office near your neighborhood, commute, or school. Virtual therapy can also expand your options, especially when you want a therapist who clearly works with LGBTQIA+ people. Review each therapist’s profile for scheduling flexibility, therapeutic approach, identity experience, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before the first session.

Therapy in Phoenix can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before booking. Headway helps you compare LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, verify your insurance, see estimated costs upfront, and book directly when you’re ready.
