Just like any other group, the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning (LGBTQ) community faces mental health issues and unique challenges. However, LGBTQ individuals are almost 3 times more likely than others to experience a mental health condition, such as depression or anxiety. Additionally, more than half of individuals who identify as transgender experience depression or anxiety. The LGBTQ community is also at a higher risk for suicide. Young people are even more at risk, as they may experience a lack of support at home and fear, hatred or prejudice in school. If you are a member of the LGBTQ community and are facing mental health challenges, you don’t have to suffer in silence. Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s LGBTQ experts and get help today.

I have worked with individuals with a wide range of ages - from adolescents to older adults, individuals in the LGBTQIA+ community, individuals involved in school and/or high stress jobs, and survivors of childhood, relationship, and experienced trauma - just to name a few! I firmly believe that therapy should be a comfortable and safe space, so I tailor my approach to what works and feels right for my client.

I love supporting clients in cultivating self-compassion, building on their strengths, and discovering new strategies for greater peace and well-being. I specialize in working with folks navigating anxiety, depression, self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship dynamics. My practice is inclusive of neurodivergence, gender and sexual identity, polyamory, kink, and social or communication challenges. Together, we can create a path toward growth and authenticity.

I work with people who are ready for change, who feel like they've tried everything, and don't believe that there's a place for them. I work with kids, adolescents, adults, and families to move toward connection and support.

I work with adult individuals, couples, and adult groups (think: adult child and parent, adult siblings, friends, etc). I do not work with teens or children. My typical clients are interested in working through issues, invested in their growth, and are open to exploring deeper issues of life and what it means to be them. I am strongly relational in my work with clients, providing feedback, insight, and guidance in a nonjudgmental way.

For anyone who has ever been accused of being too emotional, too sensitive, too wild; for anyone who doesn't fit into the boxes society has created; for anyone who has struggled to find their place in the world-- you are my people. Many of my clients identify within the LGBTQ+ community and are between the ages of 12 and 40.
