Grief and loss are a part of the human condition. Grief is typically considered to be brought on by the death of a loved one, but can also be triggered by any significant life-altering loss (such as a divorce or the loss of a job). Grief is a natural response to loss, but that doesn’t make it easy to deal with. Symptoms of grief may include sadness, loneliness, anger, denial, depression and a myriad of other thoughts and feelings. There is no “normal” amount of time for grief to pass, but if you find that your grief is not improving over time or that it is interfering with your everyday life, you may want to consider seeking professional help. A qualified grief counselor can help you to cope with the physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and cognitive responses to loss. Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s grief experts today.
I work primarily with men who are looking to grow in their self-awareness and reach their greater potential in work, relationships, and personal life. I specialize in helping people manage anxiety, depression, and ADHD. I also encourage clients to explore the past, not so that they can get stuck there, but so that they can better understand and address the problems of the present to pave the way for their intended future.

I work with clients to help them better navigate their experiences so that they can feel more authentic and aligned as they move through the world. Societal and cultural pressures affect each of us differently. I practice in a way that acknowledges the impact of systemic oppression and intergenerational trauma on individuals and communities. I know that when you walk into the room, you bring with you experiences I've never had and I believe that you are the expert on your own lived experience.
I have experience helping adults, adolescents and couples who are coping with anxiety, depression, illness, loss, life transitions including gender and sexual identity, substance abuse, relationship concerns including non-monogamy, negative body image, menopause, and the particular challenges faced by those working in the creative fields.

Have you noticed that it's in the places you are supposed to be most relaxed (meditation, vacation, weekends, sleep) that your mind feels louder than ever? It might feel like the idea of letting your thoughts go is meant for “normal” people and that does not include you. Maybe you stand guard to keep yourself from your worst case, as if your attention to your thoughts keeps you from descending into unimaginable fear. I can help you sift through the noise and regain your confidence in yourself.

If you're looking for a holistic and practical approach to healing, we are likely a good fit for each other! I often attract young adults who are struggling with feelings of anxiety, past trauma, and want to live a more meaningful life because I have struggled in these exact areas and have similar intentions myself. I value practicing what I preach and offer support in the ways that have been most helpful in my own life.

Does your mind jump from one worry to the next? Are you struggling to stay present because you're caught in cycles of anxious rumination? Maybe you doubt every decision you make. You may feel like you're struggling to manage your emotions, like it's hard to bounce back when something goes wrong, and it's causing you to feel bad about yourself. I get it! My goal is to help you break free from cycles of anxiety and doubt, and to build self- trust.

Adulting is a struggle. While it is a valuable time of self discovery, it is also a time of uncertainty and increased responsibility. There are expectations to find your footing in this world and find it fast. Under the weight of these societal pressures we think, is this as good as it gets? Are my wants, needs, and desires reasonable? Sifting through these alone is overwhelming. Our relationship offers a consistent, exploratory place for you to gain insight into yourself and these questions.

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and mood disorders through an in-depth psychoanalytic lens.

I tend to work with folks who are curious about themselves, others, and the human condition in general. My clients often come to therapy recognizing that they have endured relational and/or societal trauma and knowing how it impacts them. However, they feel unsure of how to reckon with, heal, and integrate their traumatic experiences. My clients are ready to live more expansively, have more balanced relationships, and feel more grounded in their daily life but need support to get there.

Hello dear one. While I may not yet know your journey, I’m glad we are crossing paths. Healing is not meant to be done alone. Each of us will face anxiety, loss, disruption, disconnection, illness… these are natural to the human condition. As a world community, the unraveling is at our door: climate change, wars, and rampant inequality. In exploring these challenges, we will tap into the wells of knowledge, tools, and wisdom that reside within us and the Earth, as collaborators in your healing.
