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.
Our clients often have some significant challenges to overcome - depression, anxiety, problems with romantic partners or family, life changes, or internal struggles. We warmly welcome children and teens, adults, couples, and families from all walks of life. Since there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to therapy, we offer a variety of options and styles to ensure each client is matched with an ideal fit.

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.

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.

Often folks come to see me who have complexities about their histories and relationships. I'm an EMDR therapist and complex is my thing. You might have lingering family dynamics that still show up in your current relationships or trauma that hasn't been addressed that's literally sucking the air out of the room. There is help and change is possible.

I am particularly dedicated to those who have been excluded from mainstream therapeutic spaces. My expertise is with queer and trans communities; sex workers, poly / ENM, kink / BDSM communities, neurodiverse and disabled communities; and substance users. My approach is informed by my shared identities and experiences with these communities. I work with survivors of Intimate Partner Violence; childhood and adult sexual violence; attachment and complex trauma; hate and institutional violence.

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.

I specialize in treating trauma, emotional suffering, and psychological stress. My experience ranges from generalized anxiety, PTSD (sexual trauma, domestic violence, attachment trauma), major depression, gender, self-harm, substance use & disassociated disorders. I utilize an anti-oppressive framework. I affirm all binary & non-binary individuals, genders, races, ethnicities, spiritual orientations, sexualities, and intimate relationship frameworks.

I work closely with adults of varying age and life experience - particularly those clients who are struggling with anxiety and depression, those experiencing relationship difficulty, identify as LGBTQIA+, are participants in non-monogamous and polyamorous, kink and alt-sex communities, and those who are simply looking for a practitioner whose approach is non-judgmental and genuinely sex-positive.

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.

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.
Online Therapy
I help children, teens, adults and families work through issues related to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, coping with chronic illness, domestic violence, trauma, divorce and relationship transitions, addiction, parenting support, bullying and school related stress, opposition and anger. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming. I will be accepting, flexible and non-judgmental, whether you're exploring questions around gender identity and/or sexual orientation, or just need someone who gets it.

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.

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.

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.
Online Therapy
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.
