About My Clients

Desert Oak Counseling treats individuals seeking thoughtful, trauma-informed therapy that honors both emotional depth and personal growth. Many come to us navigating PTSD, anxiety, depression, addiction, or challenges rooted in childhood trauma. We’re especially attuned to serving LGBTQ+ individuals and those from diverse cultural backgrounds.

My Background and Approach

Desert Oak Counseling brings together advanced clinical training, trauma-informed expertise, and deep attunement to the complexities of healing. Our team is led by therapists who specialize in modalities like EMDR, IFS, narrative work and mindfulness therapies, all of which are grounded in evidence-based practice and tailored to treat PTSD, anxiety, depression, addiction, and childhood trauma. We are experienced in creating affirming spaces that honor diverse identities and backgrounds. Many of our clients come to us seeking trauma therapy, addiction counseling, and identity exploration and we meet them with a holistic, strengths-based approach that helps restore agency, clarity, and holistic integration.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Our approach is grounded in respect for your lived experience and the development of your authentic identity. We are neuroaffirming, trauma-informed, LGBTQ affirming therapists. Clients often share that therapy with us feels safe, empowering, and transformative, and that they're able to experience more peace, confidence, and clarity as a result. Healing is possible, and you're not alone in this journey. We will accept all parts of you that show up in the therapy room.
