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.

Do your experiences, relationships, sexual orientation or gender identity make the search for a mental health professional difficult? Are there times or situations where you'd like a helping hand, but feel overwhelmed explaining your background to someone who may not understand? I know what that feels like. My passion lies in helping survivors of trauma and I am deeply invested in serving LGBTQIA+, polyam, consensual non-monogamy (ENM), Kink, sex workers, and all sexual minority communities.

For the last two years I have been working with clients in a hospital setting with eating disorders. Within this time I have gotten the opportunity to help those facing many challenges, not limited to eating disorders alone. I would love to help you with things like connecting to your body, giving yourself grace and compassion, and accepting your authentic self.

Most of my clients are wanting to experience greater intimacy, safety, trust, and emotional connection. However, problems arise when major events, such as infidelity or trauma, undermine trust or our ability to connect. Most commonly, clients get caught by negative reciprocal patterns that keep them feeling stuck. I help clients to understand these patterns, have meaningful conversations in session, and regain the connection necessary to overcome past hurts.

I am passionate about helping people with various issues including depression, anxiety, unresolved grief/loss, low self-esteem, complex trauma, and substance use disorders. I operate primarily from a person-centered perspective but am comfortable drawing from various theories and techniques to offer you an approach that best suits your needs. I place emphasis on exploring those things that may be keeping you from fulfilling your personal potential.
