Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that's triggered by a traumatic, scary or dangerous event. PTSD can be caused by either witnessing or experiencing the trauma. Events that sometimes trigger PTSD include everything from sexual assault, war, and violence, to car accidents or other incidents that could cause loss of life. It is not at all uncommon for people who go through something traumatic to have temporary difficulty coping and acute symptoms, but with time, they usually get better. However, if the symptoms last longer than a month, get worse rather than better and affect your ability to function, you may be suffering from PTSD. Symptoms of PTSD may include severe anxiety, anger, nightmares, trouble sleeping, flashbacks to the event, frightening thoughts, avoidance of situations or places, feeling on edge and/or being easily startled. If you think you may be experiencing PTSD, reach out to one of TherapyDen’s specialists today to get help.

My clients span the spectrum of gender and sexual orientation, and often come into therapy with specific concerns or goals related to anxiety, depression, trauma, gender, sexual problems, ADHD, attachment, and/or relationships. I've found that so many people are funny, smart, resourceful, and capable beyond their current beliefs about themselves. If you read this and think, "well, not me," then I accept your challenge! ;)

You waited years to call a therapist. It feels so hard to reach out after the experiences you've had. But now you are ready to stop blaming yourself for your trauma. You want to find you voice & learn to start caring for yourself in healthy ways. I work best with clients who can look at the areas where they feel stuck & be curious about why they think, feel, & act the way they do. When we look at how these impact your life, we can develop a roadmap get you where heart & mind are leading you.

Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

Many of the experiences we face in life create barriers to living in the way we would most like. I strive to provide an open and welcoming space for anyone who seeks to heal from past experiences and to more fully acknowledge their authentic selves.

You deserve to find a therapist or clinical supervisor you can be open and honest with, who will accept, affirm, and validate all parts of you. You may be highly sensitive, neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+, an artist, a helper or healer, a trauma survivor, or all of the above! We can identify goals and create a plan for success through methods that you feel comfortable with such as: Animal Assisted, Creative Expression, Nature-Based, SoulCollage®, interactive, or concrete skill building.

My clients are people who are thriving in many areas of their lives while also feeling like they are quietly falling apart due to anxiety or thoughts about difficult things they have experienced in the past. They are people from a wide range of backgrounds, including people in the LGBTQ+ community, people in monogamous or non-monogmous relationships, people with rich life experiences to draw on, and usually people with a good sense of humor that may have gotten a little lost along the way.
