Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Yuma, AZ

Finding a therapist who truly gets your life can feel like a long search. One who sees more than a diagnosis, who doesn't need you to explain yourself before you can get to work. If you're part of the LGBTQ+ community, that search often comes with an extra layer: the quiet work of figuring out whether this therapist is actually safe, or whether you'll spend your sessions educating them. With me, you won't have to do that work.

I'm a licensed therapist with more than 22 years of experience in mental health and addiction treatment. I've worked in community mental health centers, psychiatric hospitals, correctional settings, and private practice. I've sat with people in some of the hardest moments of their lives and know how to meet them there without flinching.

My primary focus is LGBTQ+ individuals and couples. That includes navigating identity, coming out at any stage of life, relationship dynamics unique to queer and same-sex partnerships, internalized stigma, minority stress, and everything that comes with living authentically in a world that doesn't always make that easy. I also work with anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, substance use and dual diagnosis, men's issues, and stress and burnout.

I specialize in addiction, ADHD and depression for all ages. Listening to clients and working together to find the right approach to their situation. I am a very goal oriented person that uses my knowledge and experience to create a treatment plan that motivates and encourages my clients on their mental health journey.

Hello All!

As a LSCSW I have experience supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds in correctional, school, and psychiatric settings; while providing mental health services tailored for each individual. I help identify and navigate all of life's endless transitions and challenges. My style is warm, honest, culturally responsive, and judgment-free. Together, we will build self-love, challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, recognize behaviors that may be holding you back, and explore healthier perspectives that support meaningful change.

Even when we try to move forward, the effects of trauma can continue to influence how we feel and respond. Many of the people I work with have already tried to move ahead. They've talked about what happened, understood it intellectually, & still found themselves back in the same patterns, the same responses, the same exhaustion. If that sounds familiar, you're not failing at healing. You may only need a different kind of help. A significant part of what I do involves helping clients understand their own nervous system — why it responds the way it does, what it's been protecting, and how to work with it rather than against it. This isn't abstract. It's practical, specific, and often the missing piece for people who have done a lot of work but still feel stuck at a level they can't quite reach through insight alone.

I specialize in first responders and healthcare professionals who carry the particular weight of chronic crisis exposure — people who understand resilience professionally but are navigating what it costs them. I take the responsibility of trauma work seriously — more seriously, perhaps, than most. I stay current with research, I think carefully about the ethics of this work, and I pay close attention to where each client is in their healing journey before taking the next step.

That deliberateness isn't caution for its own sake. It's respect — for the complexity of trauma, for the courage it takes to address it, and for the person sitting across from me.

My presence in sessions is quiet and attentive. I notice things. I offer feedback and suggestions carefully .My approach adapts as you grow — attending to your history, your relationships, and the patterns that have formed around your experiences. We'll build emotional awareness, develop practical tools, and work toward something genuinely sustainable.

Healing can begin with considering how past experiences have shaped your view of self, emotional patterns, and relationships with others. Grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and the weight of patterns carried across a lifetime have a way of becoming invisible — so woven into daily life that they no longer feel like patterns at all. Just how things are now. You may have tried to push through, stay busy, or simply manage — and found yourself back in the same place, wondering why nothing seems to stick.

What most people don't realize is that the experiences keeping them stuck aren't just stored in memory — they live in the body. In the tension you hold without knowing it. In the way your breath shifts in certain rooms, around certain people, in certain moments that shouldn't feel as heavy as they do. This is where the real work happens — not just in understanding what you've been through, but in helping your nervous system finally catch up to what your mind already knows.

I bring a particular kind of presence to this work — calm, grounded, and genuinely unshakeable. Not because the hard stuff doesn't land, but because it doesn't destabilize me. For clients carrying trauma, that steadiness matters more than almost anything else. You need someone who can hold the full weight of what you bring in without flinching — and keep showing up the same way, session after session.

What we build together goes beyond the therapy room. Complex relationship patterns, grief, and the slow erosion of self-confidence are connected — shaped by the same experiences, reinforcing the same conclusions about who you are and what you deserve. We'll trace those connections, understand what your nervous system has been protecting, and build something more sustainable than simply getting through the day.
