Gender identity issues, sometimes called gender dysphoria or gender conflict, occur when an individual feels an inconsistency between their physical gender and the gender they truly feel or identify with. This most commonly exhibits itself as a physical discomfort with the gender one was assigned at birth, including the feeling of being in the wrong body. Children with gender dysphoria may express disgust of their own genitals or a certainty that they will grow up to be the opposite sex. Some individuals with gender identity issues treat this feeling by physically modifying their bodies to better match their gender identity. Gender dysphoria comes with it an increased risk for depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, and bullying. If you are experiencing gender identity issues, reach out to one of TherapyDen’s qualified professionals today.

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.

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.
Are you looking to reflect, learn more about yourself, understand the patterns in you life, and determine which you want to keep and which no longer serve you? Let's understand what's affecting you in the here and now, reflect on the past and how this may be influencing your responses, and build on your strengths. Let's come up with goals and identify strategies to reach those goals. I use an integrative approach pulling from CBT, DBT, Psychodynamic/relational therapy.
