As a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC), I use holistic, person-centered care to diagnose, prescribe medications, and provide therapy in a practical and evidence-based way. I enjoy working with adults, adolescents, and children who have been holding a lot together while feeling overwhelmed, lonely, anxious, or shut down on the inside. My specialized areas include trauma and trauma-related disorders, including personality and dissociative disorders, as well as autism, ADHD, and bipolar disorders. I enjoy helping others to reach their fullest potential and best life possible. So contact me if you're ready to feel steady, empowered, sleep better, think clearly, and stop reacting in survival mode so you can show up for work, relationships, and yourself.

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 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.
