Depression is a mental health disorder that affects mood, including how you feel, think, and behave. Everyone feels sad sometimes, but when it starts to affect your ability to perform daily tasks and your ability to enjoy things that typically bring you happiness, you may be suffering from depression. The symptoms of depression vary from person to person, but often include feeling miserable without a clear reason why, anxiety, agitation, insomnia or sleeping too much, hopelessness, changes in eating, and/or foggy thinking. Depression may also cause recurrent thoughts of death or suicide (or even a wish that it would all 'stop' in an abstract sense). If you think you might be suffering from depression, a qualified mental health therapist can help. Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s depression experts today!
I believe in a strength-based approach, helping people use their inherent strengths to overcome challenges. When appropriate, I like to sprinkle in humor to create a warm and relatable atmosphere. Genuineness and comfortability is important, especially when taking the leap to start therapy, being transparent is something that I strive for.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I work best with relationships. I'm most passionate about working with intimate partnerships, no matter their status or structure. I have a special interest in working with non-normative relationships (non-monogamy, polyamory, kink/BDSM). On an individual level, I love working with sex (erotic energy, desire, etc.), sexual orientation, and gender (identity and expression). Pretty much anything that intersects with sexuality is my jam, normative or otherwise.

Reach out and connect with me…take this first step!

I work with clients (16+) who struggle with anxiety, insecurity, self-doubt, and difficulty in relationships. Other specialties include trauma and personal growth. They may be overwhelmed by racing thoughts, intense emotions, and stressful relationship dynamics. Many of my clients are high-performing, highly responsible individuals who feel burdened by self-judgment, caretaking others, and struggle to move through their core emotions in order to access their personal power.

If you are looking for direct, no-nonsense style we are probably a good fit. I work with people experiencing anxiety, sleep problems, men's issues, relationship problems, and/or sexual concerns. My work is solution-focused, leaning more into present day concerns than early life experiences. If you are seeking therapy because you recognize a need for change, and are looking to implement a plan to make that change happen, I may be able to help.

As a Queer clinician, I am particularly interested in Queer flourishing, providing gender-affirming care and related identity concerns, though obviously I also work with people who are not queer-identified. It is a common human experience to feel "Othered." My background makes it easy to identify with anyone's experience of feeling like an outsider, however, that shows up for you.

I take a gentle yet direct approach with my patients.
You are in the family-building phase of your life, and perhaps you are feeling more overwhelmed, anxious or depressed than you expected. We are often unprepared for the difficulties we might face, or how hard the adjustment to motherhood can be. If you are struggling with your emotions, feeling alone, or are yearning to feel more confident in your role as a mom, you deserve support and guidance.

I specialize in working with folks navigating race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, religion, family stress and other aspects of identity, as well as the unique challenges that can arise from systemic inequalities and discrimination. My approach integrates evidence-based practices with empathy and respect. I honor the backgrounds and stories of each person I work with. The work we do together empowers you to explore your strengths, and recognize the impact of cultural and societal factors.

I work with clients to better understand their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and develop healthier coping methods. I also help people identify and address underlying issues that may be contributing to their mental health struggles. This can build stronger relationships, improve communication skills, and increase self-esteem.

I work with children, teens, and adults, offering support for ADHD, autism, and anxiety. My clients are unique individuals seeking understanding as they navigate their personal journeys. Children learn to express their feelings, teens tackle life transitions, and adults manage daily stressors.

Together, we’ll create a path toward your goals and cultivate a brighter future.

The clients I work best with are adults who are navigating symptoms of anxiety and/or trauma. I'm particularly passionate about working with the C-PTSD population and people erroneously diagnosed with BPD. My ideal client is willing to engage in collaborative and reciprocal conversation. They desire meaningful change, growth, and healing. They are open to both processing the past and preparing for the future, leaning on their strengths and learned tools.

You are ready to engage in the work of growth, healing, and returning to self. This could be little by little or that may be some big, heavy stuff. You may be ready to trust that the wisdom of your body will guide the healing. This may focus on parenting or affirming neurodivergency. This may be related to religious trauma. Maybe diet culture. You may be exploring the realities of white body supremacy and that of other oppressive systems while seeking to access more joy and liberation.

My clients are high achieving, motivated, experience life deeply (even if they don't always show the world) and come to me when they are feeling stuck in their relationships. My clients often have trauma in their background, and come to me when they decide it is time to do work around whatever that is. I enjoy working with individuals and couples on increasing their ability to connect with the people who are most important in their lives, as well as increasing their understanding of themselves.

You--and your partner(s), family, kids--seek a conversational partner who asks questions you've not asked yourself or been asked, inviting you to consider new possibilities. You desire an accomplice in solidarity with you, in resistance to a problem world that tries to convince you that you're the problem. You want to belong, not just fit in, embody your values, and live in connection with others. You need someone who understands that living under capitalism is harmful, and that you can resist.

Are you a trauma survivor who feels constant stress and like you are a "trauma magnet" or that other people walk on eggshells around you? Are you an adopted person struggling with connecting (even to yourself!), being "the only", with loss, shame, and feel like things are out of your control? Whether you are struggling with unresolved trauma or your adoption experience, I look forward to helping you gain the skills you need to feel relief and move forward in your life they way that you want!

I work with adults who want to process past trauma and relearn how to feel safe in the present. I often work with people who grew up in dysfunctional families, and have experienced neglect and abuse in close relationships. These experiences often lead to secondary challenges such as depression, anxiety, and relational difficulties. I work with clients to reconnect to their authentic selves.
