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.

Relationships can be a rollercoaster of emotions, leaving you at times feeling extremely connected and in sync, and at other times feeling like you are on two different planets. Often, we have genuine intentions but keep getting stuck in negative communication patterns. While I work with ALL couples and relationships I work predominately with LGBTQIA+ relationships. If you are looking for a new way forward together but unsure where to start the healing you have come to the right place.

As a Black man, I understand the unique experiences of Black men in America and the ways in which these experiences contribute to mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety and stress. I also recognize that Black men are diverse and are not a monolith. With this in mind, I believe that Black men deserve care that understands both the uniqueness and diversity of Black men’s experiences, while also having a cultural awareness of Black men’s mental health needs.

I center the voices of Black folx, people of color, LGBQIA+, trans, and gender-expansive people struggling with anxiety, depression, identity exploration, religious issues, PTSD & Trauma, and racial & oppression-based stress. I also pride myself on helping nontraditional and traditional couples (polyamorous, monogamous, consensual nonmonogamy, and Kinky/BDSM communities) learn to communicate healthily and better connect with their partners.

The therapeutic relationship is a special connection that allows for creativity, exploration, discovery, and empowerment. I have had the privilege to establish this therapeutic connection with individuals of all ages and I am grateful for each opportunity to work with clients from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. I genuinely love being a therapist and wholeheartedly believe in the power of the therapeutic process.

I pride myself in being able to build an authentic relationship which each person I meet. I don’t like one-size-fits all approaches but use a wide variety of evidence-based practices and systemic theories to find what works best for you, while constantly evaluating and making changes along the way, through collaborating and open dialogue. I am a very active and direct therapist who is sex-positive, honest, compassionate, goal-oriented and empowering.
