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've been privileged to work with people of all ages, ranging from young adults to senior citizens, living with anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use recovery, relationship & identity issues, and adjustment to chronic medical conditions. Additionally, I've had experience working with vulnerable populations impacted by the criminal justice system.

I am a sex-positive, poly, kink affirming therapist and has a diverse clinical background working with LGBTQIA+, GNC, ENM, first and second generation immigrant adults and members of the BIPOC community. I bring my background in empirical research to my counseling practice, integrating an interest and commitment to evidence based practice with a deeply compassionate and relational approach.
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.
Therapy is a collaborative process, which begins by building a genuine and authentic relationship. Together we will explore the complexities and nuances of your life in order to identify your goals for the future. Throughout my experience, I have worked with a wide range of people of various backgrounds and ages who have struggled with grief, depression, anxiety, childhood trauma, relationship concerns, and navigating LGBTQ+ identities.

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.

With 6+ years of experience, I have worked in a school setting and in private practice supporting clients individually and within groups. I have worked with clients to explore their identity, sexuality, strengths, self-esteem, environmental stressors, and interpersonal relationships, helping them to develop healthy boundaries and coping skills to use throughout their life’s many transitions.
I work with young adults and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, issues related to drugs or alcohol, and those recovering and healing from trauma. I have supported individuals in exploring their gender and sexuality and embrace non-binary, trans, and queer identities. I also specialize in perinatal, postpartum, and parental mental health. Many of my clients are mental health care providers themselves, who need clinical supervision or emotional support.
My goal for you is to become your most authentic self–intentional, empathetic, vibrant, and engaged with the world. For me healing is about ongoing evolution, reconnecting with yourself, finding inner peace, and feeling whole and worthy as you are. In our work together I will support you in reclaiming all parts of yourself with compassion. Sessions may involve discussion, guided movement, body exploration, meditation, breath work, writing, or art creation.

Many of us have had experiences that left a mark in our souls and bodies. While I don't believe in a cure or quick fix to ease such troubles, I do believe we can work together towards integrating and processing past experiences so that they may be more capably carried. I work with older adolescents, adults and older adults specializing in sexuality, navigating adulthood, cultivating authenticity and transmuting trauma.
