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.
You're here! Congrats on making it this far! Most people I know think about going to therapy for months- sometimes years before they do this internet search. The next step is sending that e-mail, but don't worry you'll get there- take your time. Typically the people I work with are at a point where they are feeling really stuck, and just want to be happy. The couples who come all have a common trend that they need help with communication.

My primary areas of clinical focus are substance abuse; children and families; supporting our LGBTQIA+ community with a special passion for persons wishing to transition; incarceration and reducing recidivism, parenting and child development; trauma; eating disorders; life transitions; relationship issues; anxiety, and depression, treatment for first responders.
I use evidenced-based practices to address symptoms in mental health that create barriers for people to achieve their full potential. I offer a supportive environment focused on developing the adaptive behaviors that you can use in reaching your goals. By first identifying what's getting in the way, we use a team approach to knock down these barriers and substitute effective means, while still maintaining the behaviors that have proven helpful.

My clients often seek therapy when they feel anxious, depressed, burnt-out, or uncertain about how to move forward in their current life circumstances. They may be asking themselves “What now?” in the face of grief and loss, the management of a chronic illness, navigating a major life transition, or any time life is not going “as planned.” Sometimes, painful experiences from their past may also be complicating their ability to find peace and joy in their life now.
