I’m proud of you for taking it.

I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, family issues, LGBTQIA+ concerns, relationship challenges, PTSD, stress, grief and loss, ADHD, anger, substance use, and major life transitions.

Therapist

I earned my master's degree in Social Work 29 years ago. Over the course of my career I have enjoyed working with girls and women of all ages. I enjoy supporting girls and women who are navigating middle school, high school, college, relationships, post-partum period, motherhood, divorce, menopause, and becoming empty nesters. I love seeing my clients begin therapy with stress, anxiety, OCD, depression, grief and loss, or trauma then graduate from therapy in a much better place. I believe that you can thrive no matter your age and no matter your circumstances. I have less experience helping transgender women but I really enjoy that work as well. I consider myself a LGBTQIA+ ally.

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 Moreno Valley

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Moreno Valley starts with looking for identity-affirming care that fits your needs. A therapist who supports LGBTQIA+ clients may help with concerns related to gender identity, sexual orientation, coming out, family or relationship stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare options, look for therapists who list experience with affirmative therapy, gender-diverse care, WPATH training, or LGBTQIA+-affirming support. The right match is about more than general therapy experience — it can also include language, approach, and a clear understanding of the communities a therapist serves.

Moreno Valley has a growing mental health care market, but affirming therapists may be more limited depending on schedule, location, and insurance. Virtual therapy can expand your options across California while still giving you access to therapists who understand LGBTQIA+ concerns. When narrowing your search, review whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers appointment times that fit your schedule, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also help you see whether they explicitly mention LGBTQIA+ populations, describe their therapy style, and explain what sessions may look like.

Therapy in Moreno Valley can be expensive without insurance, which makes in-network coverage an important part of the search. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and offer virtual or in-person appointments. You can review bios, enter your insurance details to see estimated costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
