Licensed Professional Counselor in Phoenix, AZ

About My Clients

My ideal clients are people who don't fit neatly into conventional boxes. You may be a raver, festival attendee, burner, goth, musician, performer, artist, creative, event producer, nightlife professional, or someone who has always felt like an outsider looking in. You may identify as LGBTQ, queer, polyamorous, ethically non-monogamous (ENM), part of the Lifestyle community, kinky, fetish-oriented, neurodivergent, autistic, ADHD, AuDHD, or someone with an alternative lifestyle.

My Background

I'm not your stereotypical therapist. I'm real, raw, direct, creative, eccentric, and results-driven. I believe therapy should lead to meaningful change, not endless processing without progress. I show up authentically, challenge when needed, and help clients move through obstacles with honesty, insight, and practical tools. As the founder of Esoteric Therapy, I embrace the unconventional, the misunderstood, and the deeply human. I work from a non-religious, LGBTQ-affirming, sex-positive, kink-aware, and neurodiversity-affirming perspective. I welcome complexity, nuance, contradiction, and the parts of yourself that other people may not understand. If you've spent your life feeling different, strange, too much, too intense, too sensitive, too eccentric, too weird, or too outside the mainstream, you'll probably feel at home here.

Why We are a Good Fit for You

If you have any problematic substance use or drinking, I can work with you using a full stop or dial-it-back approach. I also work with recreational users and festival communities. I am very flexible and work to meet people where they are at. We send lots of reminders for our friends with ADHD about appointments and are flexible about scheduling. We understand that life is hard - that's why you are here. My main goal is to be the counselor you always needed. The one that is down to earth, easy to talk to, and that will help you explore your options. I want to make mental health as accessible and understandable as possible. If you've questioned the point of therapy before, I get it. Sometimes it can seem like just paying someone to hear you vent, but I believe it is meant to be more than that. I aim to operate in the realm of surgery for the soul instead of being just another band-aid. Reach out today and let's find a way to slay the rest of your life.
