Grief and loss are a part of the human condition. Grief is typically considered to be brought on by the death of a loved one, but can also be triggered by any significant life-altering loss (such as a divorce or the loss of a job). Grief is a natural response to loss, but that doesn’t make it easy to deal with. Symptoms of grief may include sadness, loneliness, anger, denial, depression and a myriad of other thoughts and feelings. There is no “normal” amount of time for grief to pass, but if you find that your grief is not improving over time or that it is interfering with your everyday life, you may want to consider seeking professional help. A qualified grief counselor can help you to cope with the physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and cognitive responses to loss. Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s grief experts today.
I work specifically with adults struggling with sex-related issues. These include, but are not limited to: intimacy issues in relationships; lack of sexual education in young adulthood; infidelity; sexual dysfunction; couples in ethical non-monogamous relationships looking for guidance with communication or other relationships; and individuals who are in the kink, BDSM, or sex-work communities and would like informed therapeutic care. My practice specializes in women's sexual health and couples.

I work best with LGBTQ clients, chronically ill/disabled clients, ADHDer & autistic clients, clients who want to heal from diet culture, and clients who have survived trauma. Additionally, I have experience with sex workers, kink, polyamory, religious trauma, cancer and terminal illnesses, & relationship counseling with partners of differing neurotypes. I'm also passionate about working with grief and loss, union tradesworkers, and fellow geeks and fandoms.

Do you feel overwhelmed by stress, worry, or self-doubt? Being overwhelmed by a situation or an event can be a scary and anxious experience. As a counselor, it is my privilege to journey with you through the fears and uncertainty. Together, we can find ways to cope with the unpleasant emotions or unhelpful thoughts that can come with those experiences so you feel more at ease.

Do you feel trapped by circumstances beyond your control? Are you unable to escape negative thoughts? Have you forgotten why you made the decisions that led you to this moment? Talk therapy can offer a way forward. Therapy can be a safe space to catch your breath, to talk out ideas that feel strange or risky, and to devise a new strategy for reconnecting with your best self. Therapy should feel comfortable so let me know if you want a consultation to help you decide if we are a good fit.

You have checked all the boxes of what you think would bring health and happiness. Yet you live with constant anxiety, dread of something going wrong, and a sense that you aren't good enough. You care deeply and feel strongly, and that can make it hard to put work down, hard to ignore other people's negativity, hard to not take everything personally. You want to be more present for the moments of your life, and you've tried pretty much everything to no avail. You wonder if there is another way.

Do you not feel good enough, no matter what you do? You may be fed up with nitpicking yourself, second guessing yourself, or constantly comparing yourself to others.

You’re ready to feel safe in your own skin. And most of all, you’re ready to form a deeper connection with yourself and others.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have experience working with clients of all ages. I enjoy working with children as young as 4, adolescents, college-age clients, and adults alike. I am equipped to help clients who are experiencing symptoms related to depression, anger, anxiety, self-esteem, body image, divorce, substance abuse, relationships, behavioral concerns, sexuality and gender exploration (LGBTQIA+), academic or school issues, and phase of life adjustment or transitions.

Together we can navigate grief and offer support and strategies to process and integrate your experience. Not to move on, but to move with. Loss is interwoven with many of life’s challenging experiences, not only in death, but break-ups, job transitions, growth in our gender and identity, estrangement, and more. They’re all open for discussion in our time together. I love working with queers, punks, leftists, and weirdos of all stripes who are craving non-judgment, understanding, and clarity.

I specialize in individual and couple work and welcome the presence of partners and family members to enhance the therapeutic experience. Many of my clients are navigating life transitions, have experienced trauma, are trying to reinvigorate romantic relationships, or live with anxiety/depression. I am happy to work with humans from all backgrounds, but I am especially trying to make space for LGBTQ+ and gender-diverse folx, as well as the polyamorous & neurodiverse communities.
My clients are typically adults 18 years and older experiencing feelings of anxiety, stress, and insomnia. You might be someone who experiences shortness of breath, a racing heart, a racing mind, and sleep problems. I will work with you in a nonjudgmental way to help you gain control over your thoughts and feelings and give you insight into helping yourself during moments of panic or stress. I look forward to teaching you the tools to be successful in your everyday life.

The people who work with me are struggling with managing difficult emotions related to asserting their authentic self. This might include living with a neurological difference such as bipolar disorder or autism, and/or developing an identity which seems different from the one they've embraced in previous times of life. I also work with people who may be struggling with loss of social support, depression or anxiety that seems unmanageable, or a general feeling of "stuckness."
