Clinical Psychologist, Psy.D.Online Therapy
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) relies on a client's own rapid, rhythmic eye movements, and is founded on the belief that these eye movements can weaken the intensity of emotionally charged memories. EMDR is most often used to treat PTSD or other traumas, but is also sometimes used for panic attacks, eating disorders, addictions, and anxiety. EMDR sessions can last up to 90 minutes, and usually starts with a client rating their level of distress. A therapist then typically moves their fingers in front of your face (or sometimes toe tapping or musical tones), asking you to follow along with your eyes, while you recall a traumatic event and all the sensations that come with it. You will gradually be guided by the therapist to shift thoughts from the traumatic experience to a more comforting one. The goal of EMDR is to make disturbing memories less immobilizing. Think this approach might be right for you? Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s EMDR specialists today.
The folks I serve typically range from adolescence and upward into adulthood. I've found a special appreciation working alongside folks in the LGBTQIA+ community, folks struggling with overcoming addiction and eating disorders....as well as folks who are learning to navigate life by overcoming past trauma.

My passion lies in working with young adults. This is the time of life when things get a little overwhelming. Big decisions get bigger, relationships become more serious, responsibilities feel crippling, & childhood wounds are begging to be healed. Feelings of worry, self-doubt, & down right frustration can feel like they are stealing your happiness. I thoroughly enjoy working side by side with people to harness their hope & use it to grow into strong, independent, & balanced individuals.

I have a special interest in working with individuals from late adolescence through adulthood who may be struggling with patterns of codependency in relationships, trauma, anxiety and attachment issue. I have a keen understanding of how our earliest relationships and experiences impact our adult-selves and I support my clients in gaining a deeper, more compassionate understanding of their journey. By integrating those early experiences, old cycles are able to change and healing becomes possible.

We warmly welcome children and teens, adults, couples, and families from all walks of life.

Life is stressful! Relationships, work, oppressive systems, exploring sexual and gender identities...these are some of issues that bring clients and me together. In each of these situations, we creatively sift through a variety of emotions and pulls, and the anxiety and depressed feelings that often emerge. In our relationship, we'll work to expand patterns of thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and explore new solutions to reach your goals.

Have you experienced therapy as a good place to vent your feelings but do you continue to feel stuck on the "how" to move forward? I've heard this from more than just a few clients. In the therapy space we create I'll help you find ways to get past the venting stage and into moving forward. This is not a linear process but I will be with you through every step of the way.

I work with individuals navigating emotional distress from trauma, anxiety, and relationship challenges. My clients often feel overwhelmed or stuck in old patterns and seek deeper emotional connections and understanding. I focus on helping them heal these patterns, fostering a sense of security within themselves and in their relationships.

My clients want to find connection in their lives, but they are struggling to do so. I work with people who have found that other therapists don’t quite understand them. I am honored to be the open and non-judgmental professional they are seeking. My clients have faced stigma, limited family support, depression, anxiety or trauma while navigating the complexities of sexuality, gender and relationships. Some have lost important relationships due sexual urges or behaviors that feel out of control.

Folks seeking a safe, compassionate space where they can be fully witnessed. Many come with deep emotional wounds, looking for a therapist who understands the complexities of trauma. They may feel unheard or invisible in other areas of their lives, but in our sessions, they find a place where their experiences are honored, their pain is validated, and their unique story is given the attention it deserves. My clients know that they will be met with kindness, deep respect, and unwavering presence.

Finding a therapist who you are comfortable with can help with overcoming periods of feeling trapped in a negative cycle. My goal as your therapist will be to create a safe space where we can explore ways to decrease distress, so that you can live life feeling lighter and unburdened. Therapy is a journey you and I take together. In times of pain and discomfort, we have the potential to grow into a stronger version of ourselves.

I have experience working with people dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, interpersonal conflict, grief and loss, identity and sexuality exploration, neurodiversity, chronic illness, self-esteem, and life transitions. I have particular comfort and experience working with queer and trans folks.

I help LGBTQ+ and ENM/polyamorous adults heal from social anxiety, sexual trauma, and relationship stressors. My clients come to me feeling scared and confused trying to understand their sexual and romantic identity. They feel lonely but still desire community. They feel frustrated that unprocessed relational trauma is getting in the way of accessing intimacy and connection with others or their partner(s). They want to feel seen and validated in all of their nuances and identities.

We welcome individuals of all ages—children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples. Together, we will uncover the origins of your struggles, work through deep-seated feelings, and create new behaviors to replace unproductive patterns. The goal is to empower you to use self-awareness to your advantage, rather than letting it work against you, as you learn to navigate life’s challenges and embrace opportunities with clarity and poise.

It may seem that the world is throwing you more than you can practically or emotionally handle. I provide therapy individuals and couples who may be feeling overwhelmed, uncertain that they are on the right track, or concerned with how others perceive them. I have often worked with people who are distrusting of their gut, or feel like they don't fit in.

I do my best work with the people most like my people; queer, trans, leftist at least, and usually anxious, often nonmonogamous. I work with individuals, dyads, triads, etc. I am particularly interested in trauma-work, disassociation, and navigating relational difficulties of any kind.

I work with individuals seeking relief from trauma, anxiety, and long-standing emotional patterns. I use EMDR to help clients process unresolved experiences, and I offer music therapy as a creative, non-verbal way to support healing and regulation. Many of my clients are highly sensitive, thoughtful, or emotionally attuned, yet find themselves feeling stuck. I provide a grounded, collaborative space where we can work at a pace that supports safety, clarity, and lasting change.

Many of the people I work with feel haunted by their past and struggle to connect with people in the present. This can show up in overwhelming anxiety, procrastination, feeling down on themselves, communication and relationship issues. Many have difficulty with sleep and some struggle with the way they drink or use drugs. Our early work usually focuses on skill building and fostering awareness and insight into challenges before doing any more in-depth work.

Are you confused about the direction of your life? You have experienced many ups and downs causing you to be unsure about trusting yourself? I know exactly what you're feeling; procrastinating, easily agitated, isolating and not knowing who you are. Learning about who you are at the core can be terrifying, but I don't want you go through this experience alone. Holistic practices can assist with becoming more present and regulated while letting go of false identities and beliefs we may have.
