Whether you are an expat, a third culture kid, or an immigrant searching for a new home some place in this world, you know and feel the nuances of culture intimately. I work with individuals to explore culture shock, reverse culture shock, the in-between spaces, and the melding process that comes from holding multiple cultures all at once. We explore the intersections of physical space, identity (historical and present), and where the heart feels most at home.

Trauma is what is left after the dust has settled. It is that persistent dread and hopelessness, rage and grief. I work with veterans and civilians experiencing the effects of traumatic events and the physical experience of chronic pain. Together we explore the relationship between memories, emotions, and the body. Using evidence based practices (e.g. EMDR, IFS, and mindfulness), I work collaboratively to address the unique needs of each individual.

If you are feeling depressed and you are reading this, then I want you to recognize the resilience you have inside of you. To be curious when life feels hopeless and your body feels like it's made of lead, that is no small thing. If you have made it this far in this description, I invite you to take the next step and reach out for help. Send me a message. Let's talk. You are not alone.

My niche in the therapy world is trauma-informed therapy, but let's talk beyond the word "trauma." I work with people who, at any given moment, feel somewhere between two extremes 1) Disconnected; and/or 2) Over-connected. Depression can often feel like a disconnected experience (isolation, anyone?). Anxiety can feel quite the opposite, like a hyper-awareness at all times. Both, interestingly, can have mental loops that play over and over and over again. This is the work I specialize in.

Culture is vast and informs our identity, both through the parts to which we ascribe and through the parts we adamantly reject. Culture unites us. Culture divides us. And in these spaces, I find the most passion in my work. If you're tired of educating your therapist that the future is nonbinary, I hear you and see you. If Greta is your hero, I see you. If Duolingo is your most-used app, I see you. If you're not sure where you fit in all of this, I see you too.

In my work, I combine talk therapy with somatic techniques to invite the body into the healing process. Your body holds emotions, memories, stresses, and trauma. To address this aspect of the work, I invite you to consider bringing your body's experience into your therapy work. Common techniques I use are meditation, mindful body scans, and reflections to building awareness of where you hold memories and emotions within your body.

Words cannot express the level of loss you may be feeling right now across multiple areas of your life: relationships, family, home, shelter, future dreams... the list goes on. You may feel stuck or swallowed by the loss. You have likely felt angry and irritated, sad and hopeless. Where ever you are in your grief right now, you are welcome here.

To clarify, identifying as LGBTQ is not an issue. [Therapy Den provides these descriptions.] However, I help folks identifying within the LGBTQ community explore issues related to coming out, minority stress, and explore the many layers of identity that make you the beautiful person you are.

Relationships are beautiful and a daily part of life. At the same time, relationships have this uncanny ability to bring out parts of ourselves that we either never knew we had or that we normally don't see. If you're feeling stuck in your relationship, caught in negative cycles and miscommunications, I get it. Relationships are hard! But they're worth fighting for. I help couples and partners find connection and learn new and different ways to communicate and get unstuck.

As a queer-identified therapist, I'm passionate about creating a safe space where you can be seen and you can be you in the many ways you identity. I support folks dealing with relationship stress, coming out stress, questions about gender identity, questions about sexuality, and all the every day minority stressors, invisibility and hate we have to navigate in the world. You don't have to shoulder this alone. I'm here for you.
