Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that's triggered by a traumatic, scary or dangerous event. PTSD can be caused by either witnessing or experiencing the trauma. Events that sometimes trigger PTSD include everything from sexual assault, war, and violence, to car accidents or other incidents that could cause loss of life. It is not at all uncommon for people who go through something traumatic to have temporary difficulty coping and acute symptoms, but with time, they usually get better. However, if the symptoms last longer than a month, get worse rather than better and affect your ability to function, you may be suffering from PTSD. Symptoms of PTSD may include severe anxiety, anger, nightmares, trouble sleeping, flashbacks to the event, frightening thoughts, avoidance of situations or places, feeling on edge and/or being easily startled. If you think you may be experiencing PTSD, reach out to one of TherapyDen’s specialists today to get help.

If you've found my page, you're probably feeling stuck, like nobody "gets it", or that things just aren't ever going to get better. Sound familiar? I am extremely passionate about helping people rediscover their strength and feel empowered after a life of feeling like they're in the background. Bring your pets, special interests, and dark humour, because therapy doesn't always need to be so serious. We'll work together to uncover forgotten wounds and stitch them back together.

My clients usually come to me because they struggling with eating disorders, trauma, anxiety, depression, or a chronic illness, but moreover they come in because they are deep feelers--always feeling either not enough, or too much-- who want to make a difference, and don't know how to move forward in the next chapter of their life. If that's you, I can't wait to see what we can accomplish together.
I'm passionate about working with individuals experiencing anxiety, difficult life transitions, sex and sexuality related issues, the LGBT+ population, men’s issues, using EMDR to help process trauma, as well as people exploring non-monogamy and couples that want to improve or strengthen their relationship.
