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.

My clients come from a broad spectrum of identities, sexual orientations, genders, and neurodiversities. It is normal (and practical) to be skeptical of your choice of therapist that is the best fit for you. Our relationship will be built on trust and respect for your process. The clients that get the most out of therapy are those that are curious about what is summoned in them and committed to their inner work between sessions, all of which takes time.
Parenting is hard, but it can also be a truly fulfilling and transformative experience – with the right help and tools. My practice offers support to parents at any stage of their journey of raising kids starting while planning for a family to seeing kids go off to college. Neurodivergent and queer clients are especially welcome in my practice. Whatever is keeping you from being the type of people, parents, couples, and families you want to be, together we can work through it!

Are you looking for a therapist who is sex-positive, LGBTQIA+ affirming, poly-friendly, and kink-knowledgeable? If you are struggling with anxiety or depression, feeling stuck in patterns of people-pleasing perfectionist thinking, healing from trauma, exploring your identity, or navigating a change in your life or relationships, you deserve a supportive, non-judgmental place to sort through it all. Sessions are available in-person or via telehealth.

Living in a world that often tells you you don't have the right to exist as you are can be exhausting. You may feel constantly misunderstood, disregarded, or as though you just can't get ahead no matter how hard you try. You might want healthier relationships with others but have no idea what that means or how to create one. If you feel as though you never got the handbook on "how to human," or have spent your life trying to fit into a predetermined mold that just doesn't fit, I can help.

My clients are often deeply curious individuals looking to cultivate a sense of fulfillment and self-understanding. While many have histories of complex trauma and/or addiction, others have struggles more rooted in the present moment, such as challenges with relationships or executive functioning. As a therapist, my role is to cultivate a container of trust that allows your innate inner wisdom to emerge.

Being human is hard. When two different people, flaws and all, form a relationship, it’s harder. When those two decide that they want to swing with other couples, that can be even more complicated. Or perhaps they decide to open up their relationship on occasion. What are the boundaries? How about when those two humans become part of a triad, or quad? There might be some unique challenges with that choice as well. And jealousy! Navigating yours, and theirs, is not for the faint of heart.

Feeling like you don’t fit in is stressful, isolating, and leads to fatigue. You’re left trying to figure out what to do next with very little support to guide you. Our society has rigid expectations that we can't help but internalize. As a cis gay man, I understand how isolating and frustrating this can be. I approach therapy with a warm, curious, and empathic style. You deserve to be understood and have deeper clarity.

People seek therapy for so many reasons, but mostly we all want to feel loved, safe & understood. We want to feel a sense purpose & feel good enough as we are & yet so many of us struggle to feel these ways. Sometimes our lives look very different than we imagined & we need help making sense out of things. We might be feeling disconnected or numb, uncertain or alone. We might be questioning who we are or the direction we are heading & need to find some clarity, perspective or hope.

Many of my clients are over-functioning in their lives and have the underlying belief that their worth is tied to their usefulness and achievement. They often struggle with extreme guilt and approval-seeking so I focus on nurturing who they are as a person, outside the roles they perform. I work from a humanistic perspective and help my clients feel more confident in their desires and boundaries to gain a secure sense of self and build more fulfilling relationships.
