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.

Are you a client who seeks a supportive, non-judgmental space to explore and address trauma, kink, LGBTQIA2+ identities, and polyamorous relationships? I am a therapist who understands your unique challenges and provides affirming empathetic care. You may have faced discrimination or misunderstanding in traditional settings and are now looking for guidance on integrating your identity and experiences into a healthy, balanced life that allows you full movement in your way in your life.
I find I am most helpful working with individual transition age youth and adults seeking help with bipolar and mood disorders, identity exploration, setting boundaries and navigating relationships, making sense of traumatic experiences, and unpacking privilege and learning to be a better ally. I am comfortable and knowledgeable about topics relating to sex and sexuality, gender affirmation, sex positivity, poly/non-monogamy, and intersections of identity.

As you explore, push boundaries, and learn who you are, there may be times when you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or sad. There is no one-size-fits-all meaning of "normal." You are unique, and it's perfectly fine to be yourself. Together, we can explore what "normal" means to you.
