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.

Does your relationship feel like a constant source of worry and uncertainty? You’ve noticed a growing emotional distance with your partner and you’re afraid to speak up. Every time you try, your mind goes blank and your heart races. Lately, you’ve been feeling unappreciated and you wonder if your partner even cares. You’re losing sleep and it feels like your heart is breaking. You want to move forward but feel lost and alone, wishing for someone who truly understands and can help.
Online Therapy
My clients are folks who have decided that they are willing to move through uncertainty and discomfort to find something new. They may not know what it is yet, but they've decided "not this." My clients are willing to examine their thought and behavior patterns, traumas, fears and successes in order to build a life that feels safe, grounded and joyful. Often parents, kiddos, teens and families, they are willing to understand their interaction patterns and experiment in service of their goals.

You are sitting in therapy watching your therapist tell you for the fourth time that her cousin is gay and just got a “very butch” haircut. He misgenders you, or forgets your partner’s pronouns, she pulls out Food and Mood, and he talks about how apple cider vinegar might be the solution to all your problems. She hasn't lived in a fat body. He hasn’t experienced homophobia or heterosexism. What initially seemed like a small hill to climb in your relationship has started to feel like a mountain

You may feel out of place or struggle to trust your worth, carrying the weight of oppression, trauma, or the pressure to fit into a world not built for you. You want to heal, feel at home in yourself, and build a life that feels authentic. I offer a space of care, empathy, and non-judgment. I love working with LGBTQ+ & BIPOC folks, as well as individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their caregivers, through a strengths-based, neurodiversity-affirming lens.

Clients who are drawn to my practice include people who are brand new to therapy and those who have tried traditional approaches and are interested in a somatically-integrative, holistic, mind-body approach. This includes people who are grappling with depression, anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, co-occurring mental and physical health symptoms, life transitions (e.g., transition to parenting, job or relationship), spiritual questions, and integration of non-ordinary states of consciousness.
Online Therapy
My work focuses largely on people dealing with anxiety, going through life transitions, or exploring issues of gender and sexuality. I help people in relationships come back into connection with each other, and individuals come into connection with themselves. I especially enjoy working with people who are LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and/or in nontraditional relationship structures.

Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.
