Dr. Timmons provides individual therapy at LifeStance Health to support clients facing a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and grief.

Outside of her professional work, Dr. Timmons enjoys reading, hosting game nights, solving puzzles, candle making, and learning new crafts.
