Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that's triggered by a traumatic, scary or dangerous event. PTSD can be caused by either witnessing or experiencing the trauma. Events that sometimes trigger PTSD include everything from sexual assault, war, and violence, to car accidents or other incidents that could cause loss of life. It is not at all uncommon for people who go through something traumatic to have temporary difficulty coping and acute symptoms, but with time, they usually get better. However, if the symptoms last longer than a month, get worse rather than better and affect your ability to function, you may be suffering from PTSD. Symptoms of PTSD may include severe anxiety, anger, nightmares, trouble sleeping, flashbacks to the event, frightening thoughts, avoidance of situations or places, feeling on edge and/or being easily startled. If you think you may be experiencing PTSD, reach out to one of TherapyDen’s specialists today to get help.

Currently, my practice focuses on anxiety, depression, relationships, school/work stress, trauma, disordered eating/body image issues, and other health concerns (e.g., sleep problems, adjusting to medical diagnoses, etc.). I also have specialized training and experience in treating substance abuse. I see teens as well as adults, and many of my patients are part of the LGBTQ+ community.

I center the voices of Black folx, people of color, LGBQIA+, trans, and gender-expansive people struggling with anxiety, depression, identity exploration, religious issues, PTSD & Trauma, and racial & oppression-based stress. I also pride myself on helping nontraditional and traditional couples (polyamorous, monogamous, consensual nonmonogamy, and Kinky/BDSM communities) learn to communicate healthily and better connect with their partners.

I pride myself in being able to build an authentic relationship which each person I meet. I don’t like one-size-fits all approaches but use a wide variety of evidence-based practices and systemic theories to find what works best for you, while constantly evaluating and making changes along the way, through collaborating and open dialogue. I am a very active and direct therapist who is sex-positive, honest, compassionate, goal-oriented and empowering.
