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.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by depression, anxiety, trauma, or the impacts of abusive relationships? I specialize in these areas and in guiding women through life transitions. I also focus on the connection between mental health and nutrition, supporting your overall well-being. I am trained in EMDR and offer this treatment when we both feel it supports your healing process. Together, we’ll craft a personalized plan to help you heal, grow, and move forward with confidence.

I enjoy working with individuals experiencing challenges including eating disorders, survivors of interpersonal violence and other trauma, ADHD, and other mood and anxiety disorders. I've worked in a variety of settings and I love to get creative to figure out how to solve problems together with my clients. I love working with individuals who are motivated but maybe a bit hesitant or lost on where to start, and who enjoy humor and a conversational approach to therapy.

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.
