About My Clients
I enjoy working with a wide variety of clients, but my specialty lies in ADHD, ASD, AuDHD, and trauma. I am also comfortable and frequently work with women's issues, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, 2SLGBTQIA + issues, burnout management, chronic illness and disabilities, life transitions including the transition to college, healing from narcissistic abuse, adults estranged from their parents/families, and grief/loss.
My Background and Approach
I pride myself on making therapy approachable and actually helpful. I know that starting therapy can feel daunting. In our sessions, you can expect a conversational, warm, and friendly approach backed by actionable tools that go far beyond journaling or breathing exercises. If you are neurodivergent and/or have trauma, you may have realized that the typically recommended anxiety and depression management skills just don't work very well! This can be frustrating, make you feel misunderstood, and get in the way of your progress. I'm here to share tools that are actually helpful. // If you prefer, you can find out more about me and my approach on my business instagram: @desertpoppytherapy.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I understand how tense the political climate is, and feeling safe with your therapist is extremely important. I am passionate about providing an inclusive environment for all. My approach is intersectional, meaning I understand how the intersection of many identities comes to play in our mental health and lived experiences. // I work virtually with clients located anywhere in AZ, OR, & WA. I am currently in network with most major insurances, plus I offer self-pay and sliding scale rates. I can also provide a superbill for OON.
