Therapist

I have been in the healing professions throughout my adult life, initially as a Registered Nurse, working in many different specialities (NICU, pediatrics, and Clinical Trials for Hepatitis C). I’m grateful for both careers and maintain an active interest in medicine and alternative healing. I practice Christian Counseling and my goal as a therapist is to meet you where you’re at and walk with you to a healthier, stronger place. For those of different faiths, I offer counseling oriented toward growth and healing, grounded in traditional values.

If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, difficulty in relationships or other concerns, and are desiring a therapeutic approach aligned with a Christian worldview or traditional values, I would be honored to speak with you.

I offer compassionate, supportive care where you’ll feel heard, valued, and encouraged in your journey of growth and healing. Member of the Focus on the Family Referral Network and American Association of Christian Counselors.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Palm Springs, CA

Searching for therapists in Palm Springs starts with finding the right fit for what you want to address. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, or life transitions. As you compare Palm Springs therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, approach, and experience match your needs. Provider bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or mindfulness-based therapy, and what a first session may include.

Palm Springs has a smaller local therapy market than larger California cities, so the right therapist in Palm Springs, CA may offer in-person sessions, virtual appointments, or both. Virtual care can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in California. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can also help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and scheduling fit.

Therapy in Palm Springs can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists in Palm Springs who match your preferences and offer clear availability, so you can review bios, compare options, and book directly when you’re ready. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm coverage available in Palm Springs.
