Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that's triggered by a traumatic, scary or dangerous event. PTSD can be caused by either witnessing or experiencing the trauma. Events that sometimes trigger PTSD include everything from sexual assault, war, and violence, to car accidents or other incidents that could cause loss of life. It is not at all uncommon for people who go through something traumatic to have temporary difficulty coping and acute symptoms, but with time, they usually get better. However, if the symptoms last longer than a month, get worse rather than better and affect your ability to function, you may be suffering from PTSD. Symptoms of PTSD may include severe anxiety, anger, nightmares, trouble sleeping, flashbacks to the event, frightening thoughts, avoidance of situations or places, feeling on edge and/or being easily startled. If you think you may be experiencing PTSD, reach out to one of TherapyDen’s specialists today to get help.

I'm passionate about working with people who are facing a pivotal juncture in their lives, wondering how to move forward amidst difficult transitions or emotional pain. I specialize in helping clients navigate grief, work through interpersonal challenges, and explore their identity to build a deeper connection to self.
I value being able to work with my clients throughout there therapeutic journey. I find it important that clients are able to grow and learn about themselves. When clients are able to get to know themselves they are able to get a better understanding of their emotions, behaviors and thoughts. My goals is to empower each client I work with. Our mind is extremely powerful and instead of it taking over your capabilities I want to work with to gain back control of yourself.
Many of my clients seek to better understand themselves as they manage both day-to-day obstacles and larger-scale challenges in their lives. I work with individuals from a wide range of backgrounds in navigating concerns including life/career transitions, cultural identity, trauma, grief & loss, anxiety, depression, adjustment issues, self-esteem and body image.
I am passionate about working with clients with diverse racial, spiritual, gender, and sexuality backgrounds handling anxiety, depression, trauma, and burnout. Together, we learn about the mind, body, and the various parts of ourselves that come up as we navigate life’s stressors and transition. We explore the meaningful ways you want to engage with yourself and others.

Perhaps you've experienced depression, anxiety, or the loss of a loved one and are trying to make sense of it all. Perhaps you've never had the space to explore your feelings toward your sexuality or gender identity. I strive to offer a safe space to get in touch with these feelings and explore without reservation. I work with adults and young adults and draw from an eclectic blend of therapeutic techniques to meet your needs.
