Just like any other group, the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning (LGBTQ) community faces mental health issues and unique challenges. However, LGBTQ individuals are almost 3 times more likely than others to experience a mental health condition, such as depression or anxiety. Additionally, more than half of individuals who identify as transgender experience depression or anxiety. The LGBTQ community is also at a higher risk for suicide. Young people are even more at risk, as they may experience a lack of support at home and fear, hatred or prejudice in school. If you are a member of the LGBTQ community and are facing mental health challenges, you don’t have to suffer in silence. Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s LGBTQ experts and get help today.
Are you or your child feeling anxious all the time? Always on high alert, edgy and ready to snap? Have you been through a traumatic or stressful event and have a hard time coping? Do you feel hopeless, stuck, lost or unmoored? Is your child acting out, and you can’t figure out why? These symptoms are our soul’s way of letting us know we need support. I can help you safely work through difficult issues and experiences, and learn new skills to effectively make your way through this complex world.

I work with folks from all walks of life who are looking to build (or re-build) their connection to themselves and others. My clients often struggle with anxiety, people-pleasing, self-worth, perfectionism, dysfunctional family dynamics, relationship issues, and exploring their identities. I work within an intersectional perspective to cultivate a space that is inclusive and welcoming to all so my clients can feel safe to embrace vulnerability and explore themselves deeply.

I work with clients who exhibit a range of needs. Whether you are struggling with symptoms of depression, anxiety, grief and loss, ADHD, OCD, substance use or another "disorder" that is causing you distress, we can work together to help ease your symptoms. I have worked closely with the perinatal community and have extensive knowledge of the postpartum experience.

Life is full of challenges and obstacles. Sometimes they leave us with pieces to put back together, worries about the future, scattered thoughts, and broken dreams. The journey can feel like standing at the bottom looking up at a mountain before you. Healing is a lot of work, but the view from higher up the way is worth every step. I'm here to travel with you--challenging, cheering, and celebrating you on along the way. You got this!

I have a special passion for working with artists and creative professionals as they wrestle with fears, fantasies, depressions, manias, and all the challenges not only of making art but of making a living through art. I also love working with adolescents — how I wish I'd had a therapist when I was in high school! — as well as folks working through addiction and recovery. I also work with couples of all stripes and with patients who are, like me, part of the LGBTQIA+ community.
Online Therapy
I have a considerable background working with the Black community and other communities of color, the LGBTQ and Non-Binary communities. I work with Adults, Teens, Individuals, and Couples from all cultural backgrounds. Everyone is welcome! I am licensed in California and Kansas, and limited to only seeing clients within the boundaries of those states. California -LMFT, Lic #121606 Kansas -LCMFT, Lic #03112

Our therapists specialize in addressing a wide range of mental health concerns with tailoring to identity trauma.

We are committed to serving individuals from marginalized groups, including but not limited to people of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, and those who face societal barriers. Our practice is a safe haven where you can be your authentic self, free from judgment and discrimination.

Reaching out for help is one of the most humbling experiences we can go through in life. In a world that is constantly pushing narratives on us based on race, gender, sexuality and/or dominant cultural beliefs, it is life-affirming to engage preferred narratives that support and empower our own values. In difficult times it is easy to feel misunderstood or lost, longing to reconnect with our own resources. My work aims for those reconnections.

Are you tired of traditional talk therapy? Overwhelmed with feelings of anxiety, or fear and panic? You might be suffering from the trauma of an abusive or neglectful childhood (developmental trauma). Or, as an adult, from the shock of recent or acute, traumatic events. I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, low self-esteem, and life transitions.
Online Therapy
Do you get caught in repetitive unhealthy cycles? Anxious thought loops or the same relationship mistakes over and over?

Whether you are seeking happiness in relationships, anxiety management, healing from trauma or better ways to communicate, we can work together toward your goals.

The individuals and couples I see are usually creative folks from a multitude of cultural backgrounds. I welcome all genders, races, sexual orientations, and/or relationship styles. Most are looking for greater self-actualization, and many struggle with anxiety, quality of relationships, intimacy, depression, history of trauma, familial conflict, creativity, life transitions, and career issues. I also enjoy working with parent/child dyads, siblings, even friends who seek help in relationship.

If you're looking for a holistic and practical approach to healing, we are likely a good fit for each other! I often attract young adults who are struggling with feelings of anxiety, past trauma, and want to live a more meaningful life because I have struggled in these exact areas and have similar intentions myself. I value practicing what I preach and offer support in the ways that have been most helpful in my own life.

I strive to create a safe and affirming space for clients to engage and connect with their whole self. I am passionate about working with individuals, partners, young adults and the LGBTQIA+ community struggling with libido, erectile issues, self-esteem, trauma, spirituality, desire discrepancy, infidelity, intimacy, gender identity, and sexual orientation. My ideal clients are ready to fully show up and claim their pleasure.
It's important to work with a therapist who really gets you! Our therapists appreciate that we each have unique stories that shape us and that we all want to know that we belong. We work with diverse clients and specialize in helping you create more meaningful relationships & intimacy, heal trauma, cope with oppression & toxic culture, navigate life transitions, manage anxiety, embrace intersections of identity, feel more empowered as Highly Sensitive People, and feel less broken or alone.

Have you noticed that it's in the places you are supposed to be most relaxed (meditation, vacation, weekends, sleep) that your mind feels louder than ever? It might feel like the idea of letting your thoughts go is meant for “normal” people and that does not include you. Maybe you stand guard to keep yourself from your worst case, as if your attention to your thoughts keeps you from descending into unimaginable fear. I can help you sift through the noise and regain your confidence in yourself.

“The problem is the problem. The person is not the problem.” (Michael White, 1989) I am a relational therapist, group & mindfulness facilitator, educator with a 27+ year career dedicated to companioning individuals & families standing up to challenges in health, healing, grief & loss, life transitions. Many need bolstering facing life’s difficult problems - cancer, grief, dogging mood states (circular worry, anxiety/panic, depression), "urban loneliness," coming out, special-needs parenting.

They come from all walks of life. Many struggle with grief and loss--of a loved one, or of a cherished idea of how life was meant to be. Some feel at war with themselves; the survival strategies of the past--once so vital--no longer serve them, leading to depression, anxiety, and diminished relationships. They are in a bind: longing to connect but frightened, with good reason, of the vulnerability that makes connection possible. I help them move in the direction of growth and deeper connection.

I work with clients to help them better navigate their experiences so that they can feel more authentic and aligned as they move through the world. Societal and cultural pressures affect each of us differently. I practice in a way that acknowledges the impact of systemic oppression and intergenerational trauma on individuals and communities. I know that when you walk into the room, you bring with you experiences I've never had and I believe that you are the expert on your own lived experience.
