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 work with clients who live with intense emotions. Deep depression, constant anxiety, intense anger, or on the other end—clients who tend to avoid feeling all together. Emotions often drive my client's choices—how they choose to behave or speak (or bow out of engaging/speaking) depends on how they are feeling. This way of living can feel chaotic and damage relationships. My clients become aware of their thoughts and emotions without being ruled by them.

As a therapist it is my goal to give you the space, time, and support to overcome the struggles you may be facing. I work hard to help you find your own empowerment to work through the difficulties that life throws your way. I am gentle, yet direct when needed, in therapy. My ideal populations include: anxiety/depression, postpartum moms and dads, infertility, grief/loss, LGBTQPIA+, trans affirming therapy, poly/kink,blended families, couples work, body image/self esteem, self harm/suicidality.

The clients I see often arrive having already endured so much. They see themselves as a neurodivergent individual, an LGBTQIA+ individual, or someone with relational trauma. For many this has manifested in an anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, or Autism diagnosis. For many, it has not. My clients experience a collaborative and safe environment to challenge some of the narratives life has given us and become the person they want to be.
