Feeling a certain level of anxiety over big stressors or certain life events is totally normal. However, if you find that your fear or worry does not go away and, in fact, gets worse over time, you may be suffering from an anxiety disorder. Mild anxiety is vague and unsettling and often passes quickly, while severe anxiety can seriously affect your day-to-day life. If you are finding your anxiety unmanageable, can’t identify the cause of your anxious feelings or if you are suffering from physical symptoms (such as heart palpations, fatigue, sweaty hands, upset stomach, or insomnia), it may be time to get help. Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s anxiety specialists today.
If you’re struggling with life transitions, stress, feel traumatized, grief, anxiety, depression, women’s or lgbtq+ issues, gender expression/dysphoria, or just looking for ongoing therapy, I’m holding a safe space for you

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.

Have you hit a wall? Do you feel like everything you have tried isn't working? Sometimes we get so overwhelmed by our situation that it's hard to fathom any solution.

My ideal clients reflect on our discussions between sessions, engage in behavior change, have a sense of humor, and are willing to do the work.

I specialize in working with individuals who have endured significant childhood wounds, including abandonment, neglect, narcissistic abuse, and trauma. These clients often struggle with expressing emotions, setting boundaries, overcoming guilt and shame, engaging in self-sabotaging behaviors, and facing trust issues in relationships. Many also grapple with toxic parental relationships, viewing their caregivers as emotionally immature or unavailable.

I help clients who are experiencing gender dysphoria, anxiety, self-criticism and shame, who are wanting to challenge their inner critic and show compassion toward every part of themselves. I love helping clients deconstruct shame and develop shame resilience in order to build empathy and compassion for themselves.

I help clients heal from traumatic experiences. I work from an attachment lens focusing on developmental and relational trauma and breaking free from generational cycles of trauma. I primarily work with pregnant and postpartum persons, and I particularly love working with new parents who find that parenthood triggers their own unhealed childhood wounds. If you decided to work with me, I work hard to create an accountable space for you to share your inner world with me.

I have experience coordinating mental health care nation wide. My clients value my ability to "be real" when change needs to happen. I'm here to help you. Let's do this!

It's my opinion (and research supports this) that building supportive spaces where individuals can explore their authentic selves and change unhelpful patterns is the most effective way to do therapy. I support the well-being of adults and adolescents experiencing overwhelming emotions, challenging histories, and complex mental health problems. All too often we trade expressing our genuine selves for safety, which can lead to blame, resentment, anxiety, and inexplicable grief.
My sessions are a space for clients to safely explore their feelings, learn new ways to cope with stress, feel validated and supported, and improve their relationships. My clients are people facing challenges like anxiety, depression, difficulty managing their feelings, life transitions, and codependency. I also work with individuals in recovery and those questioning their relationship with alcohol, drugs, or other self-sabotaging behaviors.

Have you been holding it all together for far too long? Maybe you have different faces you show each part of your world and none of them really feel right anymore. You might be experiencing symptoms of anxiety or depression or have trauma that has gone unaddressed. And, you're looking for a place to put all of that down. To figure out how the what worked in the past to survive is keeping you from the life you want to live. To live into who you are in a more real and authentic manner.
