Every relationship comes with its fair share of issues. Navigating the complexities of life together is hard enough, but when you start to feel regularly distressed or hopeless, about your relationship, it may be time to seek professional help. No matter what your issues seem to stem from (disagreements about money, sex, stress, chronic illness, mental illness, infidelity, trust, emotional distance, parenting etc.), if you and your partner are arguing more frequently and experiencing feelings of resentment or contempt, it is likely that there are some underlying problems to address. Because many problems in relationships are a result of communication issues, a qualified mental health therapist can teach you to find new ways of talking to each other to help you find your way back to common ground. Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s relationship and marriage issues experts today.
Sometimes, we can get so overwhelmed that we're not quite sure where to go or what to do to make things feel better. I want you to know that you've taken the wonderful first step to come here, and I applaud you for doing that. Sometimes, seeking help can be equally challenging as finding it. I hope to be able to assist you in handling these difficult struggles so they don't become insurmountable.

Clients I've worked with vary from depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, life transitions, family conflict, and relationship concerns. The process allows you to enhance your quality of life through the process of discovery, exploration, and insight into experiences that have shaped you, address the presenting problems, and find more effective tools to navigate oncoming life and realities.
Do you feel like you have "everything" but something just isn't right? You have the job/partner/family you “always” wanted but there’s a voice at the back of your head eating at you that you try to suppress? and each time you ignore it, it just comes back louder? Let’s try a different approach this time. You deserve to live a truly authentic life and I look forward to accompanying you on the journey to reach it. All you have to do is get in touch and we will figure out the rest.
I best serve individuals and partners exploring identity, sexuality, and non-traditional relationships. Whether you're part of LGBTQ+, kink, or polyam communities, questioning societal norms, or navigating complex relationship dynamics, you'll find a welcoming space here. My clients often come seeking support around sexual expression, gender exploration, or building authentic relationships while managing anxiety, trauma, or shame.

In my work with individuals, I see adults who are in transition or are hoping to gain greater insight about themselves.

If you are seeking therapy because you recognize a need for change, and are looking to implement a plan to make that change happen, I may be able to help.
