Feeling a certain level of anxiety over big stressors or certain life events is totally normal. However, if you find that your fear or worry does not go away and, in fact, gets worse over time, you may be suffering from an anxiety disorder. Mild anxiety is vague and unsettling and often passes quickly, while severe anxiety can seriously affect your day-to-day life. If you are finding your anxiety unmanageable, can’t identify the cause of your anxious feelings or if you are suffering from physical symptoms (such as heart palpations, fatigue, sweaty hands, upset stomach, or insomnia), it may be time to get help. Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s anxiety specialists today.
Complex or relational trauma can show up as overwhelming emotions, depression, anxiety, or problems building or keeping relationships. It can also show up as symptoms of post traumatic stress or PTSD. Whether you need help navigating current stress, or processing and resolving problems rooted in past experiences, we can work together to build skills to manage emotions in the present while uncovering glimmers of hope to move forward through darkness toward healing.

Many of my clients come to me frustrated with their relationships, their career, or patterns they feel stuck in, and are feeling pretty powerless. The source of their pain is often contributed to being mistreated, not feeling fully seen, heard, and acknowledged by family, peers, society, and culture. My clients have a desire for personal growth, to find connection, and to build confidence.

I want to acknowledge the courage it takes to face struggles with body image, eating patterns, and the complicated feelings that accompany them. These challenges—such as worrying about food, feeling uncomfortable in your own skin, or facing pressure from expectations—can feel isolating, but you are not alone. Society's narrow ideals can easily lead us to feel inadequate. Together, we will explore your relationship with yourself, uncover self-compassion, and build resilience.

I work with children, families, individuals, and couples to help navigate life’s complexities—whether it’s anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment styles, identity exploration, or life transitions. I believe that every person’s journey is unique, and I approach each one with deep respect, empathy, and authenticity.
Online Therapy
I specialize in helping men navigate life transitions, anxiety, relationship challenges, career stress, and the pressure to meet expectations. For many men, seeking therapy isn't the first choice—it can feel unfamiliar or unnecessary. But that’s why it matters. Therapy is different from talking to friends. Friends mean well, but they bring their own biases. In therapy, the focus is all on you—a space to be honest without judgment and gain tools for real change.

Together we can explore how these patterns actually make sense given your lived experience. We will reduce shame making space for compassion & healing.

I strive to come from a place of compassion and empathy because, as humans, we all have patterns, messages, and lessons that show up in our lives. The more conscious and mindful we can become of these patterns, the more freedom we can have from them. My goal in therapy is to utilize evidence-based treatments to help you understand these themes so that you can gain the tools, insights, and skills necessary to live the life you want.

In this increasingly “good vibes only” culture, do you feel that you need to hide parts of yourself in order to fit in or be included in the group? Do you feel like you’re either too much or not enough? Like you’re the black sheep in your family or with your friends? You may have been thrown into an adult role as a child, having to emotionally care for your parent or caregiver, at the expense of your own emotional development, growth, or even safety. If this sounds familiar, there is hope.

My couples and individual clients have many varied backgrounds, professions, and world views. I consider my clients to be the experts on their own experiences as they teach me about their unique histories, cultures, orientations, and preferences. As a fine artist, I often work with creative clients such as artists, writers, directors, musicians, and actors. I look forward to learning about you and your own lived experiences.

I often see driven professionals in high-pressure environments. Many of my clients are men, trying therapy for the first time or continuing work they've already started. Clients generally come to see me to work through stress, anxiety (especially social anxiety), depression, life transitions and trauma. I'm also trained and passionate about working with the broader LGBTQ+ population.

Divorce can feel like make you feel like your life is out of control; like someone or some thing picked up the snow globe of your life and shook it. Now all the pieces are flying around and everything feels overwhelming, uncertain. You don’t know how to put things back together again and are maybe not even sure you really want to. It can feel like you will never be happy again. Divorce is hard and often it's really shitty.

If you feel disconnected from your true self, find yourself overextending in relationships, or feel stuck in unhelpful patterns, I can help.

Do you struggle with the belief that no matter what you do it won’t be good enough? Is it hard to say "no" to others because if they are upset with you, you will feel guilty? Maybe you walk on eggshells around others, scared to say the wrong thing so you shut down and don’t speak up? I help people like you learn what your needs are so you can advocate, build boundaries and thrive in your relationships.
