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.
We specialize in working with people who struggle with anxiety, OCD, self-esteem, and relationships. We help clients navigate challenging emotions, build confidence, and communicate openly, creating a supportive space for growth and healing.

I specialize in supporting transgender and gender non-conforming people, polyamorous and non-monogamous folks, and those interested in kink and BDSM. I help people with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, gender and sexuality, sex and eroticism, interpersonal dysfunction, intrusive thoughts, body image, spirituality and religious trauma, life changes and transitions, and the shame and blame that linger from the past.

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.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, OCD, and/or trauma? Have you developed maladaptive coping strategies over the years to manage distress from these experiences, such as an eating disorder, substance use, self-harm, body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs), to name a few? I offer a combined approach to addressing not only these symptoms, the underlying factors, and re-imagining the role that these disorders play in your daily life.

Many of my clients approach therapy because they have the experience of "getting by" up until a certain point. Maybe there has been a recent life transition that has led you to seek extra support. Maybe you've been able to do relatively well in life, but you've always felt different and as though there is more to unpack. Exploring current and previous patterns can help shed light on your experiences and guide you on where you want to go.

I work with adults across the lifespan, including adolescents transitioning into adulthood; this includes individual, family, couple, and relationship work. I often meet people at transitional moments when anxiety, depression, relational conflict, or symptoms of trauma surface. Our work is to learn how you arrived at this moment and in what ways we move forward together. I have worked extensively with individuals in the LGBTQIA+ community.

I work with couples, family members, and individuals experiencing disconnection, anger, or distress in their intimate relationships. I work with couples who report a breakdown in communication, difficulty repairing broken trust or who are finding their footing again after the transition to parenthood. In my work with individuals, I see adults who are in transition or are hoping to gain greater insight about themselves.

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.

My ideal client is someone who is seeking support in navigating life’s challenges and striving for positive change. Whether you're dealing with personal struggles, family dynamics, or mental health concerns, I am here to provide compassionate, thoughtful support using humor as much as possible. I work with adolscents and adults who are open to engaging in self-discovery and growth.
Many of my clients identify as Queer, Poly/ENM, Kink/SWers and seek to develop deeper self-awareness, connection to their identity, help with relationships, nervous system regulation, coping skills for resilience, and support processing trauma and other difficult experiences.
