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.
I specialize in providing LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapy with teens, adults, and couples/relationship partners who are exploring their sexuality, gender, and relationship-expansive (kink, poly, ENM) identities. I love working with couples/relationship partners, and as a queer parent, I am especially passionate about working with LGBTQIA+ people navigating parenthood. Many people I have experience working with express themselves creatively through art, dance, music, and writing.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by expectations and "shoulds"? Do you want to deepen relationships in your life, with others and with yourself? I want my clients to feel greater ease in the choices they make and the relationships they have to live authentically and fully. Therapy can help you consciously create a world where you can express yourself, get curious, and make daily choices that are aligned with your values. I do this through play, creativity, and trauma informed processing of emotion.

I love to work with clients from all walks of life, experiencing all sorts of struggles and challenges, whether within themselves, in relationship to others, or in the external circumstances of life. All of us are unique in our needs and methods of healing, so I always meet clients where they are and make sure the therapy is serving their personal goals for growth and healing.

I work with couples and individuals from a LGBTQ+-affirming, poly-affirming, kink-affirming, sex-positive framework to help dispel shame around sex and relationships outside of hetero/cis/mononormative cultural standards. I work with folks exploring their identity, struggling through grief & loss, and dealing with issues around self-esteem, social anxiety and trauma.

I offer compassionate, solutions-focused therapeutic care to individuals and couples, especially those experiencing depression, identity/esteem issues, or patterns of relational instability. With roughly three years of clinical training from the L.A. LGBT Center and over a decade as a high school teacher, I have particular experience with the challenges faced by adolescents, young adults, and members of the LGBTQ+ community, although I’m eager to work with anyone who feels I could be a match.

I consider it an honor to work alongside clients as they heal from the effects of ongoing trauma. You may not have considered what you have experienced as "trauma", you may even minimize what you've been through, and yet still find yourself stuck in distressing patterns that are affecting your relationships, self-worth, emotions and health. You and your story deserve compassion and understanding, as you re-connect with your own authenticity and re-claim your agency in life.

Many of my clients come to me frustrated with their relationships, their career, or patterns they feel stuck in, and are feeling pretty powerless. The source of their pain is often contributed to being mistreated, not feeling fully seen, heard, and acknowledged by family, peers, society, and culture. My clients have a desire for personal growth, to find connection, and to build confidence.
Online Therapy
I tend to work with folks who are curious about themselves, others, and the human condition in general. My clients often come to therapy recognizing that they have endured relational and/or societal trauma and knowing how it impacts them. However, they feel unsure of how to reckon with, heal, and integrate their traumatic experiences. My clients are ready to live more expansively, have more balanced relationships, and feel more grounded in their daily life but need support to get there.
Online Therapy
I work with children, adolescents/teens and adults who may need a little extra support navigating social relationships, building self-esteem, navigating stress or mood changes, or who may be having trouble balancing the demands of school, work, and/or relationships. I also have extensive experience working with individuals and their families that identify as LGBTQIA+ and Neurodivergent.

For some of my clients, therapy feels like a last-ditch effort to find relief from a life that has become too painful and overwhelming to endure. For others, it is a chance to finally address an issue in their personal life or their relationships that has been bothering them for a long time but that has been difficult to name or understand on their own. In either case, I can help you find lasting change by expanding your sense of who you are and the freedom with which you live your life.
Online Therapy
Many of my clients find my practice after years of struggling with symptoms of depression, anxiety, having a harsh inner critic, or addictions. Unresolved trauma is often the underlying problem, when as children we learned to distance ourselves from our innate higher Self in an effort to “fit in.” I guide clients in listening to their own inner voices, reconnecting to their soul-longings and restoring a more authentically connected existence to the world around them. LGBTQI+ affirming practice.
Online Therapy
I see many clients who feel stuck and unable to alter their life in a way that reflects their values, causing them to feel sad, on edge, or numb. They are suffering a great deal, and often their needs seem unclear. This can look like constant worrying, dreading the future, or being caught up in the past. I use a frank and kind style to empower clients to find meaning and hope as they navigate the complicated, often oppressive systems of our world.

Feeling stuck and struggling to move forward from a relationship, job, or the death of a loved one? Finding it difficult to find or (re)discover yourself, or are challenged by fully embracing your sexuality and identity? You are not alone. I aim to help individuals develop space to examine and address their current difficulties through self-compassion and awareness to move forward with new perspectives and tools that more closely align with their values and goals.
Online Therapy
My clients are remarkable individuals that usually struggle with anxiety, depression, cultural / societal pressures, identifying emotions, and seeking to find their own individual peace & purpose. Therapy can increase the support in my clients life and can be a space that is all their own. Where they can explore their own thoughts and frustrations freely. I work from a nonconformist cultural informed lens, and kink, polyamory, LGBTQ+ inclusive.

I have particular passion for serving those with complex body relationships, who want to understand their ADHD or autism better, who crave support as they deconstruct their spiritual histories, who are frustrated by vague therapy answers, who fear they are "too much" or "too different". Overall, those who want to find the beauty in the darkness rather than denying the darkness, and who want to sit crooked and talk straight.
