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 people from various communities, identities, and relational styles. My clients enter therapy with a desire to address individual, relational, or sexual concerns, and find the courage to create new lives and ways of being in the world. As there no 'one size fits all' in therapy, I work to create a therapeutic experience tailored to the specific needs, aspirations, and goals of the people I work with.

My clients are people who are thriving in many areas of their lives while also feeling like they are quietly falling apart due to anxiety or thoughts about difficult things they have experienced in the past. They are people from a wide range of backgrounds, including people in the LGBTQ+ community, people in monogamous or non-monogmous relationships, people with rich life experiences to draw on, and usually people with a good sense of humor that may have gotten a little lost along the way.

I love supporting clients in developing self-compassion, identifying and building on strengths, and learning new approaches to achieve a sense of well-being and peace. I have experience working with individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, life transitions, social and communication challenges, gender and sexual identity, polyamory, and neurodivergence.

I use EMDR therapy to help people recover from trauma. My preferred model of EMDR is the "intensive" model, in which we meet for a longer period of time per session (1.5 - 3 hours per session), for a smaller, total number of sessions. Research has shown that this type of approach can be very effective in helping people recover, and begin living their lives to the fullest once more.

For anyone who has ever been accused of being too emotional, too sensitive, too wild; for anyone who doesn't fit into the boxes society has created; for anyone who has struggled to find their place in the world-- you are my people. Many of my clients identify within the LGBTQ+ community and are between the ages of 12 and 40.

Our 1:1 therapy container will offer you a safe and sacred space to be seen, heard, and supported. Together we will offer space for the parts of you that have been waiting; the parts that have held their voice when told they were too loud, the emotions that have been stuffed down when told they were too big. Together we will welcome and invite all parts of you home and help them to feel connected and seen again.

I welcome people from all walks of life. Many of my prospective clients struggle with feeling stuck and unable to move on with their life goals. It is not for the lack of wanting/trying. I will be working with you on identifying the source of what is holding you back. And I will partner with you on finding resources that will bring change and growth.

I work with adult individuals, couples, and small groups (think: family members).My clients are typically invested in their growth, want interactive therapy that does not insist on one approach, are open to mindfulness and exploring deeper issues of life and what it means to be them. Most of my clients are pretty curious about themselves, willing to be challenged, want to be seen and heard and validated, and want to do and get something better than what they currently have.

My clients tend to identify as LGBTQ, kinky, poly/ENM or identify as having a non-traditional relationship dynamic. They are usually searching for someone to help them navigate hurdles without having to explain the nuts and bolts of their sexuality, career, or lifestyle.
