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 survivors of acute and complex trauma who tend to be perfectionists and struggle with self-criticalness. Generally, my clients are women and LGBTQ+ adolescents and young adults. Many of my clients internalize the stigma and shame conditioned by our society's oppressive norms and politics. I help my clients find self-compassion, embrace their authenticity, and process their trauma from an intersectional, warm approach that always emphasizes fostering safety rather than "fixing."

Anxious or painful sex impacts more than just sex. It keeps you from having the relationship connection and intimacy you truly desire. When date nights are on the calendar, instead of feeling excited, you have dread and hope it doesn’t end in disappointment or a fight. It also affects more than just dating. Living a passion-filled life becomes a challenge when sexual confidence feels so far out of reach. You know you need answers but have no idea where to look.

I see many clients who feel stuck and unable to alter their life in a way that reflects their values, causing them to feel sad, on edge, or numb. They are suffering a great deal, and often their needs seem unclear. This can look like constant worrying, dreading the future, or being caught up in the past. I use a frank and kind style to empower clients to find meaning and hope as they navigate the complicated, often oppressive systems of our world.
Online Therapy
Many of my clients come to me frustrated with their relationships, their career, or patterns they feel stuck in, and are feeling pretty powerless. The source of their pain is often contributed to being mistreated, not feeling fully seen, heard, and acknowledged by family, peers, society, and culture. My clients have a desire for personal growth, to find connection, and to build confidence.

Are you experiencing a significant amount of anxiety and at times stuck in a negative loop? Are you unsatisfied with your sex life or feeling stagnant in your relationship? Perhaps it has been difficult to date, form new relationships, or thrive in your current one. I help clients celebrate their unique strengths and reconnect with their bodies in a safe and supportive way. I also provide tools to decrease anxiety, overthinking, and self-blame.

I view therapy as a collaborative adventure. I believe in infusing humor and warmth into our sessions, because a little laughter can be just as healing as a good therapy session!

I accompany clients as they address anxiety, depression, trauma, and challenging life changes. Together, we work to increase insight, practical skills, and self-awareness through a lively engagement with the "less visited" parts of self that we often take for granted. My treatment approach is based on awakening deep compassion and curiosity about ourselves and the world.

Do you take pride in being there for others, but end up putting yourself last? You often feel lonely and worry about being a burden, even to the people you’re closest to. You’re grateful for what you have in life, but you feel like something needs to change in order to really enjoy it. If this resonates with you, I can confidently tell you that it does not have to stay this way. In therapy together, we will create a safe space that will unlock greater self-acceptance and peace.

Are you tired of feeling like you're merely surviving rather than thriving? Perhaps, on the surface, you appear to have it all together, but internally, you feel like you're falling apart. You've dedicated yourself to work and relationships, yet a sense of inadequacy persists. Do you sometimes feel stressed, exhausted, unfulfilled, or disconnected? I aim to provide a sanctuary for you to explore your experiences, emotions, and parts of yourself without judgment.

I offer compassionate, solutions-focused therapeutic care to individuals and couples, especially those experiencing depression, identity/esteem issues, or patterns of relational instability. With roughly three years of clinical training from the L.A. LGBT Center and over a decade as a high school teacher, I have particular experience with the challenges faced by adolescents, young adults, and members of the LGBTQ+ community, although I’m eager to work with anyone who feels I could be a match.

Why did no one warn you about how hard the transition to parenthood was going to be? You often feel that you’re not doing a “good enough” job and wonder why other parents seem to have it all figured out. You may not have had the pregnancy, birth, or postpartum experience that you wanted. You love your baby more than anything but you don’t always love being a parent.

Whether you are doing the work of improving, separating, or are now separated, couples counseling is a path to mutual understanding. For couples who would like to stay together, it’s worth reflecting on what brought you together in the first place. Things like how you met, what clicked, and why you stayed can inform what makes you hang in there now. Wherever you are at in your dynamic, we’ll go into what you would like to see happen here.

I typically work with individuals and couples. I specialize in working with trauma, LGBTQ, religious trauma, existential crises, underrepresented populations, relationship and societal issues. I have been told that I am easy to be in session with, and can stay curious and identify with most anyone I meet. I work best with adult clients, those with deep inquiries of self, and typically anyone who has feelings of being misunderstood or alienated. I do very well at helping couples reconnect.

Sexuality & pleasure are stigmatized, this plays into how we feel about ourselves, our bodies and in relation to others. I specialize in sex, intimacy and relationship issues with couples/partners towards undoing harmful stories which no longer work for us, which hold us back, harm us. I work to re-educate, and then to empower. I work with clients to signifcantly reduce distress and undo longer standing concerns. Find your truth and build on that!
