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 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.

I believe in Dr. Stephen Shore’s quote, “If you’ve met one person with autism, you’ve met one person with autism.” If you are looking for growth or emotional healing and have an Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnosis (ASD), or share attributes with ASD, I would love to help! I practice mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy, ages 11 to 111. You can meet with me outdoors via walk and talk/outdoor seated therapy, or by traditional telehealth/in-office therapy.

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.

I work with all types of people that struggle with anxiety, depression, relational issues and much more. While I work with people of all backgrounds, I have a special place in my heart for members of the LGBTQ+ community. As a member of this community, I understand the unique experiences and difficulties that can come from this perspective. I also like working with people that have experienced religious trauma and understand that these are often overlapping experiences.
