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.

Are you struggling to see the forest for the trees? Are you stuck in cycles that are keeping you on the hamster wheel? Together, we can create a plan to zoom out and help rewrite the cycles. "An object at rest remains at rest, or if in motion, remains in motion at a constant velocity unless acted on by a net external force." I love getting to know my clients and their preferences so we can use what you prefer and makes sense to you during the course of our work together.

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.

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).

Something has shaken you emotionally, and you're struggling to find solid footing. It may have happened a very long time ago or just yesterday. Feelings of confusion, anger, sadness, or anxiety have been holding you back. This can be a very lonely and scary place. Psychotherapy helps couples and individuals repair and improve relationships while finding freedom, wholeness, connectedness, and purpose and meaning in life. I look forward to helping you get unstuck and start living again.
