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 provided behavioral health care services across a spectrum of populations, within a variety of settings to include: a residential psychiatric rehabilitation treatment facility (PRTF), the Department of Corrections, the family court system, Drug and Young Adult Courts, military installations, schools, outpatient and community mental health, as well as private/group practice. I work with individuals; families; couples & groups affected by existential and a range of mental health issues.
I work with older teens and adults trying to figure out what’s happened, who they are in this moment, and where they want to go from here. With a warm, straightforward, and affirming approach, I can help you work toward goals that are focused on you and getting to a place where 'being' just feels better. I really enjoy working with older teens, young adults, LGBTQ+ adolescents, and anyone looking to heal and recover from trauma.

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.

My clients are people who are on a journey to understand themselves and their environments more clearly. I specialize in working with: people who are part of the LGBTQIA+ community, who identify as neurodivergent, who are living with chronic conditions, are experiencing life transitions, and those who experience symptoms from depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders. I also enjoy having conversations with clients about exploring gender identity and deconstructing from systems.

Do you ever think "Why am I feeling this way?", "what is wrong with me?", or "am I the only one who feels this way?". It can feel shameful, isolating, and hopeless. I promise you are not the only one with these questions. I know it is super hard to have these types of conversations and especially with a strange (like a therapist at first). However, if you'd like to see me, my goal is to earn your trust, listen to your story, support & help you achieve your goals.
