Gender identity issues, sometimes called gender dysphoria or gender conflict, occur when an individual feels an inconsistency between their physical gender and the gender they truly feel or identify with. This most commonly exhibits itself as a physical discomfort with the gender one was assigned at birth, including the feeling of being in the wrong body. Children with gender dysphoria may express disgust of their own genitals or a certainty that they will grow up to be the opposite sex. Some individuals with gender identity issues treat this feeling by physically modifying their bodies to better match their gender identity. Gender dysphoria comes with it an increased risk for depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, and bullying. If you are experiencing gender identity issues, reach out to one of TherapyDen’s qualified professionals today.

I am passionate about working with Black men; however, I also have a strong passion for working with survivors of sexual violence, adults who have experienced childhood sexual abuse, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and kink-friendly couples. I enjoy helping clients with understanding their sexual expression, learning more about consent and setting boundaries, and improving intimacy within their relationships.

The counseling process requires openness and vulnerability that can be overwhelming. Talking to someone new about your concerns, fears, or anxieties can be intimidating. Bearing your inner self is not easy and requires a strength you may not know you possess. My promises to you: I will never judge you or make you feel unheard. I will create an environment where you feel safe. You are a unique and beautiful being and stronger than you realize. I would be honored to walk with you on this journey.
