My Approach

I provide compassionate support to kids, teens, & families. I believe in the power of open and non-judgmental conversations. This means that we'll work together to talk about your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, allowing you to express yourself in a safe and supportive environment. I practice through a psychodynamic lens, which means we explore how your past experiences may be influencing your current feelings and behaviors, aiming for a deep understanding rather than just a surface-level fix. My goal is to support your whole-person development, not just providing a quick fix. By using this approach, I want to help you better understand why you feel the way you do! As a queer therapist myself, I proudly provide gender affirming care! Here, you’ll find safe and inclusive space where your gender and sexuality are understood, respected, and celebrated. Together, we'll tap into your strengths and empower your true self, enabling you to pursue your goals of embracing authenticity and cultivating a healthier, more joyful life!

Nice to meet you!

Hi, I’m Mandy! (she/her/hers) I’m a queer millennial therapist ready to help you achieve your goals. Lots of people see therapy as a one-sided experience with little or no chance to interact with a real person. I promise you, I am as real as it gets! I show up to every session as my true, authentic self because I know how important it is to feel connected with and relate to your therapist. I will be your biggest cheerleader and your shoulder to cry on. Together, we’ll celebrate your wins and mourn your losses.

I know first hand how hard it can be to find the right fit and how discouraging it can be to get another therapist who doesn’t get you. Let’s be real—you want a therapist who understands you and gets what you’re going through, not another person to nod and ask “how does that make you feel?” At the end of the day, you want to leave therapy feeling heard, seen, and valued.

Therapy in Indiana & California

In both states, I provide online therapy from the comfort of your own home. All you need is a stable Wi-Fi connection, a laptop, phone, or tablet with a camera, and a quiet space.

If you live in the Fresno, CA area, we can also have in-person sessions.

I work with kids, teens, and young adults and specialize in working with LGBTQ+ folks!

Why telehealth?

Since COVID hit hard in 2020, telehealth has become an awesome tool to make therapy easier and more accessible!

My specialties include:

Gender & Sexuality Exploration

As a queer therapist, I love supporting clients as they navigate questions related to gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation. Whether it's exploring your identity or working through the challenges of self-discovery, I provide a non-judgmental and supportive space for exploration and growth.
Child & Adolescent Therapy

Growing up can be difficult! Whether it's academic stress, peer relationships, or emotional struggles, I provide a safe and supportive space for kids & teens to express themselves and develop coping skills. Together, we’ll tackle challenges like depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, and trauma, with a special focus on how these issues might relate to your child’s unique developing identity.
Family Therapy

The number one thing I say to my clients is that problems don’t happen in a vacuum! If your family or child’s difficulties extend outside of individual therapy, I also offer family therapy to strengthen communication and relationships within families. In family therapy, we may address conflicts, improving understanding, and fostering a better family dynamic.
LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapy

It can be difficult to find an affirming, not just accepting therapist! In my practice, my propriety is creating a secure and affirming environment where LGBTQ+ individuals can openly discuss their experiences, express their concerns, and access essential resources. My expertise includes addressing identity exploration, coming out, gender dysphoria, and coping with discrimination or stigma.
Play Therapy

One of my favorite things about working with children and families is that kids communicate through play! Play therapy services provide a unique approach for children and teens to express, explore, and process emotions in a comfortable and engaging environment. Tailored to individual needs, this evidence-based method fosters growth, resilience, and a deeper understanding of your child for a brighter, more fulfilling future.
