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.
My work is rooted in the belief that every person has inherent worth and the potential for transformation. In therapy, I tailor my approach to each client’s specific needs, drawing from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment theory, and mindfulness practices. By blending these techniques with a faith-based perspective, I aim to provide care that feels both practical and spiritually grounded.

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.

You're a people-pleaser, late-bloomer, self-explorer, or someone who values your inner life and wants to dive deeper. Adults who are creative, curious, and compassionate but struggle to apply those strengths to themselves consider me a good fit, as do those who crave relationships but find them to be more trouble than they're worth.

My clients want someone who will meet them where they are at and sometimes, that's a complicated space and that my friend is Ok! Life did not give any of us a handbook and a manual with clear directions for how to handle things, and to be honest the books out there seem to be created with someone else's vision. You can write your as you go! My clients will appreciate the safe space and gentle challenges that arise in therapy.

Do you feel like you're trudging through life, weighed down by a constant sense of sadness & worry? Perhaps the joy you once knew has faded, replaced by a persistent feeling of being stuck. You're not alone. Millions of adults struggle with depression, anxiety, ADHD, & an overwhelming sense of being trapped in a cycle of negativity. I understand the profound impact these conditions can have on your daily life. The relentless drain of energy and the crippling anxieties can be really difficult.

Many of my clients are over-functioning in their lives and have the underlying belief that their worth is tied to their usefulness and achievement. They often struggle with extreme guilt and approval-seeking so I focus on nurturing who they are as a person, outside the roles they perform. I work from a humanistic perspective and help my clients feel more confident in their desires and boundaries to gain a secure sense of self and build more fulfilling relationships.

You put on a brave smile and say you’re fine when you know you’re not. You’re exhausted because you’ve been carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. You’re isolated because you don’t recognize the woman you see in the mirror. You’re confused because you’ve lost sight of who you are. Even the relationships you care most about are now draining you. All your duties just keep piling on and you’re forced to keep bearing through it. Therapy can help untangle life's messiness.

I offer support for those who feel like they're carrying the weight of the world-maybe it's a past trauma, anxiety, or strained relationships. You could be wrestling with vulnerability, exploring identity in LGBTQ+ spaces, a couple striving for deeper connection, a creative looking to unleash your potential, or an expat navigating the challenges of living abroad.

My clients are ready for change. They are ready to take action to stop the ruminations, catastrophic thinking, and change the limited beliefs that have hindered them for too long. Their bodies have been burdened by it, often carrying tension and unexplained pains. Their relationships have been negatively impacted by it, including the most crucial one with themselves. They want to discard harmful old patterns, have more agency, and reach for their joys rather than fleeing from fears.

I approach therapy with an open mind and a dash of humor because growth doesn’t have to be all serious.
