LGBT therapists in Visalia, CA

I’ve helped people work through trauma, burnout, ADHD, Bipolar mood concerns, Anxiety, Depression, OCD, and others, in ways that honor their pace and their story. Our work together is grounded in honesty, humor, and compassion.

As a therapist in Fresno and online in CA, I help people whose minds and bodies are tired of being on high alert. You might notice every possible threat around you, feel constantly on edge, or struggle to relax even in moments that should feel safe. You may carry guilt or shame from the ways you react when overwhelmed.

As therapy continues, you begin to notice small but real shifts. The mornings feel a bit lighter. You catch yourself laughing without effort. You start to sleep better. You find it easier to connect with family or friends, to be present, to breathe. These small moments build into something bigger

— a sense of belonging in your own life again.

I’m direct, engaged, and client-driven—and I curse a lot in sessions. I work best with clients who’ve been through hell and are ready to grow and heal from those experiences. I believe therapy works best when there’s a strong foundational fit. If what you’ve read resonates, great—let’s explore working together; if it doesn’t, that’s just as important to know as well! I’m a trauma-informed EMDR therapist who works with childhood trauma, complex trauma (C-PTSD), depression, anxiety, and grief. I take an integrative approach, pulling from multiple modalities rather than forcing you into one box. I also incorporate creative expression into sessions—especially music—because sometimes words just don’t cut it.

I specialize in trauma-informed, integrative, holistic modalities. I specialize in supporting couples, women and femme-identified, LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, highly sensitive, creatives/ artists, and alternative relationships/lifestyles. I specialize in ADHD, relationships and couples therapy, burnout, anxiety, self-confidence and empowerment, imposter syndrome, work-life balance, grief, life transitions, communication skills, boundary setting, career and identity goals, life coaching, and nature connection.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and work statewide via Telehealth. I work with adults, young adults, adolescents, children, and couples. I have experience in dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, crisis support, grief and loss, and complicated grief.
