Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, ARNPI help teenagers and adults who have depression, anxiety, ADHD, adjustment problems and more serious psychiatric problems.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a classic talk therapy technique that helps increase awareness of negative thinking in order to better handle challenging situations. In addition to helping those with mental health disorders (such as anxiety or depression), CBT is also helpful for anyone who is looking to learn how to manage stressful situations. Therapists that use CBT often have a structured program, which involves a set number of sessions. CBT is frequently paired with other treatments, such as medication, when necessary. Think this approach may be right for you? Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s CBT experts today.
You don’t want need another provider just giving you another prescription, you want to figure out what’s actually going on, right? “Why don’t I feel like myself?” “Where did this come from?” – these are common things I hear from patients, and I want to help you solve your puzzle.

Are you full of anxiety but hiding it pretty well? Women I work with are often struggling with people pleasing and perfectionism. You might be dealing with a toxic workplace or toxic relationship and feel like you're about to lose it. You may be questioning the direction life is headed but have sleep problems, upsetting thoughts and feel exhausted a lot. You may notice yourself misusing substances or caretaking others or working too much. You can get help now and make changes.

I enjoy working with men who are contemplating big life decisions, coping with a loss, or just struggling to find their way in the world of work and relationships. I believe that pain and suffering are part of being human, but they do not have to be a permanent, all-consuming state of affairs. Healing and growth are always possible, but require hard work, compassion, understanding, and lots of honest, difficult talk. If this sounds appealing to you, then we might be a good fit.

Our pain and suffering show up in so many ways. Trauma can come through so many different experiences: adverse early childhood experiences, grief and loss, systemic oppression, and acute traumas. Clients that come to me often experience depression, anxiety, religious trauma, shame, grief and loss, fear of death/dying, and self-judgement. We work together to create a container to heal in.

Counseling can be as simple as a chat about how you are doing and where you would like to be in life. People often experience distress resulting from an unpredictable world. A common problem for many people stems from feelings of dissatisfaction with their present circumstances. Change may be intimidating, but it’s not impossible - and never too late! I excel at helping my clients find their authentic selves and I am not afraid of challenges, chaos and the messy journey we embark on in therapy.

Sometimes experiences or sensations in the present moment touch & awaken unresolved experiences from our past without our awareness of what happened; it is all unconscious. This can result in any number of distressing situations from anxiety, panic, & dissociation, to irritability, feelings of overwhelm or sadness. I work with clients to uncover & metabolize experiences from the past so they no longer creep into the present and lead them to defend against situations that are no longer relevant.
Online Therapy
My clients come from all walks of life. Most often I work with trans folks, other people in the LGBTQ community, and those who are part of the kink, poly, non-monogamous, or other sex positive communities. It is important to me to provide a space where someone doesn't need to explain their life or face judgement to improve their access to needed care.

I enjoy helping clients work through complex trauma, including medical trauma; women’s health and LGBTQIA+ well-being; couples and non-traditional relationships; and anyone who finds it challenging to live in a neurotypical world. Together we will dismantle external forces that impact how you move through the world and discover and embrace each chapter in your story that makes you uniquely you.
In working with individuals, I use attachment, systemic, and trauma informed approaches. If you are an individual struggling with chronic stress, codependency, perfectionism, or difficulty establishing an authentic sense of self, these symptoms can often be the result of current or past relationship dynamics that can be addressed and changed. I have training in both Gottman and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy models in working with couples on issues from infidelity to communication issues.
