Gender identity issues, sometimes called gender dysphoria or gender conflict, occur when an individual feels an inconsistency between their physical gender and the gender they truly feel or identify with. This most commonly exhibits itself as a physical discomfort with the gender one was assigned at birth, including the feeling of being in the wrong body. Children with gender dysphoria may express disgust of their own genitals or a certainty that they will grow up to be the opposite sex. Some individuals with gender identity issues treat this feeling by physically modifying their bodies to better match their gender identity. Gender dysphoria comes with it an increased risk for depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, and bullying. If you are experiencing gender identity issues, reach out to one of TherapyDen’s qualified professionals today.

Most of my clients are multicultural in one form or another and some also belong to different communities such as the LGBTQIA+ community or those in poly, kink, swinging or open relationships. All genders, sexualities, and relationship styles are welcome.

I help women who are struggling with the negative effects of childhood trauma, relational abuse, and women's issues. Women who struggle to say "NO" and feel like they are "being mean" when they cannot meet everyone's needs. My professional commitment lies in providing compassionate support to women over the age of 18 who are grappling with painful experiences. I offer LGBTQIA+ affirming care with compassion and understanding.

Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

I believe my clients are looking for a caring , knowledgeable therapist to effectively support them. They may be experiencing depression or anxiety or undergoing life transitions like being a new parent, divorce, marriage, new job, moving, parenting challenges, menopause, aging parents, illness, or new relationships. They may need to work through unresolved feelings from their upbringing with caretakers or siblings. Overall, they're looking for more creative approaches to therapy & coping.

Clients who seek me out tend to be interested in personal growth, improving their lives and relationships, and wanting to live their best life. While clients typically describe me with words that include warm, genuine, supportive and empathic, they have also let me know that what they appreciate a great deal is my ability to remember their story, retain important details about them, and my willingness to challenge them in their choices, reactions, and responsibility.

I enjoy working with individual adults and relationships within the LGBTQAI+ communities. I also work with clients who identify as kinky, into BDSM, or in dominant/submissive relationships. I fully support those who are in, or interested in navigating, an open or ethical/consensual non-monogamous relationship. You may be able to get partially reimbursed for therapy if you have OON benefits. Check here: https://app.mentaya.com/p/2a2wgH3znSbIqfbkYuOg
