Feeling a certain level of anxiety over big stressors or certain life events is totally normal. However, if you find that your fear or worry does not go away and, in fact, gets worse over time, you may be suffering from an anxiety disorder. Mild anxiety is vague and unsettling and often passes quickly, while severe anxiety can seriously affect your day-to-day life. If you are finding your anxiety unmanageable, can’t identify the cause of your anxious feelings or if you are suffering from physical symptoms (such as heart palpations, fatigue, sweaty hands, upset stomach, or insomnia), it may be time to get help. Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s anxiety specialists today.

I view therapy as both an art and a science, integrating mindfulness, feminist, and evidence-based interventions into traditional psychotherapeutic approaches such as psychodynamic, CBT, and ACT modalities. My experience includes treating clients with depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, identity conflicts, life transitions, family conflict, self-esteem, body image, oppression, and chronic illness.

Many of the people I work with are navigating faith transitions, deconstructing long-held beliefs, or healing from the impact of high-control or authoritarian religion. Some come from Mormon or fundamentalist Christian backgrounds and are looking for a safe, supportive space to explore who they are outside of those systems. They’re often seeking clarity, connection, and a more authentic sense of self—even if they’re not sure where to begin.

I work with adults across the lifespan, including adolescents transitioning into adulthood; this includes individual, family, couple, and relationship work. I often meet people at transitional moments when anxiety, depression, relational conflict, or symptoms of trauma surface.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, OCD, and/or trauma? Have you developed maladaptive coping strategies over the years to manage distress from these experiences, such as an eating disorder, substance use, self-harm, body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs), to name a few? I offer a combined approach to addressing not only these symptoms, the underlying factors, and re-imagining the role that these disorders play in your daily life.

You’re someone looking for a new way to explore your emotions and experiences—whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges. You might be neurodivergent or on the autism spectrum, or managing more complex mental health concerns like Severe and Persistent Mental Illness (SPMI). In our work together, we’ll use drama therapy to uncover insights, express what feels hard to say, and create real, lasting change in a space where you feel seen and understood.

Many of my clients approach therapy because they have the experience of "getting by" up until a certain point. Maybe there has been a recent life transition that has led you to seek extra support. Maybe you've been able to do relatively well in life, but you've always felt different and as though there is more to unpack. Exploring current and previous patterns can help shed light on your experiences and guide you on where you want to go.

Most of my clients wish they could have a life with more joy, more fulfillment, or more abundance. They want to feel greater satisfaction in their relationships, career, or sense of self…but oftentimes, they don’t know where to start. I typically work with people who are looking to develop greater self-acceptance, learn better coping skills, and develop healthier relationship dynamics in order to find a greater sense of satisfaction in life. If this sounds familiar, know that you’re not alone.
