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.

My clients tend to struggle with feeling stuck, overwhelmed by their thoughts and feelings, and trouble communicating regarding needs. Often they have trouble sleeping or unwinding or have pressures of being "perfect". They may also be afraid to take chances, be genuine in relationships, and seek out opportunities and sex they deserve. I enjoy working with those struggling with issues related anxiety, trauma, am LGTQI affirming, sex positive.

Do you feel like you and your partner are having the same argument repeatedly? Do you wish you could see yourself the way others see you? Do you find yourself getting caught up in situations or relationships that feel unnecessarily difficult? Many of my clients have experienced similar situations. I often work with people to explore topics such as anxiety, communication obstacles, gender, sexual or personal identity development, low self-esteem, life transitions, or relationship concerns.

I specialize in working with millennial professionals who look like they have their shit together, but in reality are overwhelmed by their anxiety, and the weight of feeling like a "failure." Together we can help you dial down the anxiety and stress. While we're at it, we can ditch the perfectionism and people pleasing, because your wants and needs are valid. We can even help you learn to accept yourself for who you are, instead of judging yourself based on your productivity.
