Feeling a certain level of anxiety over big stressors or certain life events is totally normal. However, if you find that your fear or worry does not go away and, in fact, gets worse over time, you may be suffering from an anxiety disorder. Mild anxiety is vague and unsettling and often passes quickly, while severe anxiety can seriously affect your day-to-day life. If you are finding your anxiety unmanageable, can’t identify the cause of your anxious feelings or if you are suffering from physical symptoms (such as heart palpations, fatigue, sweaty hands, upset stomach, or insomnia), it may be time to get help. Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s anxiety specialists today.
I am here and ready to help you move past your past. I am currently seeing clients entirely through telehealth. I believe your mind and body has what it needs to heal, sometimes it just needs a little guidance.

My clients are women, men, and nonbinary people. They successfully “put one foot in front of the other” to get through life, but feel constantly on edge or numb. I love working with helpers. If you tend to have room in your day and your life for everyone but yourself, and you want to know why you do that and HOW TO STOP IT (ok...realistically, do it less often, you're still going to be a caring and generous person after all), I'm the therapist for you.
In the private telehealth setting, with a nonjudgmental and compassionate approach, we can explore the sources of your stress, change destructive behaviors, and the root of thought patterns, relationship interactions, and overall life improvement together.
I typically work with clients navigating identity, impacts of trauma, cultural expectations, and life transitions. You may be facing relationship challenges or adjusting to shifts in your personal or professional life. Within the work I incorporate an exploration of how systemic issues impact personal well-being and focus on helping clients find self compassion and agency.
Specializing in trauma recovery, major life transitions, LGBTQ+ experiences, and the beautiful messiness of relationships, I believe therapy should feel like both a warm hug and a creative breakthrough. Whether we’re untangling generational patterns, embracing self-discovery, or turning setbacks into comebacks, our work together will be a dynamic mix of reflection, empowerment, and maybe even some unexpected “aha” moments.

My LGBTQIA2S+ clients are acutely in tune with authenticity. At times, this quality can cause life to feel heavy and overwhelming. The worry, stress or fear can cause folx to feel stuck. The things that once helped, no longer work. Many of my clients have experienced depression, anxiety and trauma. Our journey together can help navigate these things and create a map for what is next.
Online Therapy
My clients want someone who will meet them where they are at and sometimes, that's a complicated space and that my friend is Ok! Life did not give any of us a handbook and a manual with clear directions for how to handle things, and to be honest the books out there seem to be created with someone else's vision. You can write your as you go! My clients will appreciate the safe space and gentle challenges that arise in therapy.

My clients are adults and families with anxiety, depression, learning differences such as dyslexia and ADHD, and those who are questioning possible neurodivergence/learning differences. I also work with partners/spouses who are navigating different neurotypes, infidelity, the decision to have a family, addiction, or conflict due to differences in sexual desire or political beliefs. In my 15 years in my silver lake practice I truly have helped people in many different situations.

Divorce can feel like make you feel like your life is out of control; like someone or some thing picked up the snow globe of your life and shook it. Now all the pieces are flying around and everything feels overwhelming, uncertain. You don’t know how to put things back together again and are maybe not even sure you really want to. It can feel like you will never be happy again. Divorce is hard and often it's really shitty.

In this increasingly “good vibes only” culture, do you feel that you need to hide parts of yourself in order to fit in or be included in the group? Do you feel like you’re either too much or not enough? Like you’re the black sheep in your family or with your friends? You may have been thrown into an adult role as a child, having to emotionally care for your parent or caregiver, at the expense of your own emotional development, growth, or even safety. If this sounds familiar, there is hope.

I find that my clients come to treatment when they have arrived at a life transition- be it loss of relationship, job, death of loved one, or realization of past traumatic experiences- and are ready to process their emotions and heal. Openness to exploring your internal world, including past traumatic experiences that may be impacting your life, is integral in the work I will support you in.

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.
