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.
It may seem that the world is throwing you more than you can practically or emotionally handle. I provide therapy individuals and couples who may be feeling overwhelmed, uncertain that they are on the right track, or concerned with how others perceive them. I have often worked with people who are distrusting of their gut, or feel like they don't fit in.

Folks seeking a safe, compassionate space where they can be fully witnessed. Many come with deep emotional wounds, looking for a therapist who understands the complexities of trauma. They may feel unheard or invisible in other areas of their lives, but in our sessions, they find a place where their experiences are honored, their pain is validated, and their unique story is given the attention it deserves. My clients know that they will be met with kindness, deep respect, and unwavering presence.

If you are feeling lost, having difficulty understanding why you are feeling the way you do, or struggling to believe your own experiences are valid or “enough”, you’re not alone. Sometimes, we feel a deep sense that something is wrong and we need to attend to it, but we aren’t sure where to start, or what it is. You deserve a space to explore your experiences, yourself, and your relationships in a way that feels safer and meets you where you are.

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.

Geeks, nerds, hackers, burners, and makers are my specialty! Tired of having a therapist roll their eyes when you talk about gaming? Over it trying to explain that Discord is a chat server and not a state of disharmony? Feeling finished with people who don't understand online friendships are valid social support? You deserve a therapist who gets you in all of your delightful nerdiness and awkwardness. Therapy for geeks from a geek therapist might just be the support you're looking for.

I tend to work with individuals exploring relationships. This might mean their relationship to themselves with feelings of depression, anxiety or self-critique, exploring the vastness of queerness, and making sense of dueling desires. It also can mean dissecting relationships of one's past or digging into current relationships (friends/romantic/queer-platonic). I do this in individual therapy as well as with partner(s). I work most often with teenagers and adults.
Online Therapy
I do my best work with the people most like my people; queer, trans, leftist at least, and usually anxious, often nonmonogamous. I work with individuals, dyads, triads, etc. I am particularly interested in trauma-work, disassociation, and navigating relational difficulties of any kind.

I help LGBTQ+ and ENM/polyamorous adults heal from social anxiety, sexual trauma, and relationship stressors. My clients come to me feeling scared and confused trying to understand their sexual and romantic identity. They feel lonely but still desire community. They feel frustrated that unprocessed relational trauma is getting in the way of accessing intimacy and connection with others or their partner(s). They want to feel seen and validated in all of their nuances and identities.

The majority of my clients are adults who are going through life transitions and want support adjusting to a variety of life changes. Some of my clients have past trauma they want to unpack in a safe space. Although my clients are from different racial backgrounds, sexual identities, and life experiences, I have found they all want to feel supported and validated in sessions. Their end goal is usually to improve their quality of life so they can enjoy their lives again.

At Resilience Lab my clients are people navigating life transitions, learning to love their bodies, or questioning their gender identity and/or sexual orientation. Our time together might look like healing trauma, reconnecting with family, or using mindfulness exercises to create more bodily awareness. Through this process, I spend time with clients to discover the values and pieces of their identity making them who they are.

My ideal client is ready to get curious about their story, their drives, and what's holding them back. My ideal client may be new to treatment, but might also have not found the "right fit" in traditional talk therapy. My ideal client is willing to go outside of their comfort zone to try something new and creative, and embrace the power of imagery and art.
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."
