About US

Hello, I'm Evette, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the President of Desert Magnolia Therapeutic Services, LLC.

I am a multi-racial, lesbian therapist dedicated to helping individuals and couples in Arizona discover their inner strengths and resilience. My journey in social work began at the University of Washington, where I earned my Master's degree with a focus on social justice and clinical mental health for children, adolescents, and families. Since then, I've had the privilege of expanding my expertise and working with diverse clients, specializing in therapy for LGBTQ+ adults and queer/non-monogamous couples navigating complex challenges. In addition to my clinical practice, I also serve as an Assistant Teaching Professor and Coordinator at Arizona State University's School of Social Work.

I've been trained in a variety of therapeutic approaches and believe in using a flexible, eclectic style to best meet your needs. My methods often incorporate elements from several evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), the Gottman Method for Couples, and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for trauma.

I am passionate about supporting the mental health and well-being of others. If given the opportunity, I will be dedicated to helping you achieve the quality of life you deserve.
