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.

My work focuses largely on people going through life transitions or exploring issues of gender and sexuality. I help people in relationships come back into connection with each other, and individuals come into connection with themselves. I especially enjoy working with people who are LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, in nontraditional relationship structures, and/or current or former "gifted kids."

You’re feeling disconnected from yourself or the people around you. Maybe you’re feeling stuck in life and can’t find the energy to change things up. Or maybe you’re overwhelmed by thoughts or feelings that push you around or keep you from doing what you want to be doing. I'd like to help. Clients often come to me seeking relief from pervasive anxiety and overwhelm, or wanting to process major changes. I work with clients in all forms of relationships, and see couples and polycules too.

They want more depth in their self-awareness and their relationships (LGBTQIA, monogamous, poly, kinky). Our clients receive compassionate, affirming care!

I enjoy working with clients of all ages who hold multiple minority identities and are seeking identity development, trauma therapy, or parent training. Many of my clients have jokingly described me as a "process consultant" and "professional poker". I can treat a range of mental health concerns but highly enjoy serving the local LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent community. I have experience writing letters in support of gender-affirming medical interventions (e.g., hormone treatment and surgery).
