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.
I work predominantly with women and LGBTQIA+ people working through relational issues & trauma and who are wanting to explore the origins of their distress. I work with couples (of all orientations/genders) managing the challenges of communication, conflict, and identity/sexuality integration. With my clients, I enjoy weaving through moments of healing insight and moments of intentional growth while honoring our changing needs and overall goals.

My clients tend to be people who are seeking to bring spirituality more to the forefront in their lives. This includes people who are "spiritual but not religious", people of a certain faith, or people who do not have a faith. Anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and difficulties in relationships are all areas where I can offer creative, heart-centered solutions grounded in your values and beliefs.

As an adoptee and therapist, I understand that adoption is not just a past event but a lifelong experience shaping your identity, relationships, and sense of self. My goal is to support you in processing the grief and complex emotions tied to adoption, so you can live confidently without fear of abandonment or losing yourself in relationships or perfectionism. I also have expertise in LGBTQIA+ needs, foster care, non-traditional relationships, OCD, trauma, narcissistic abuse, and codependence.

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.

The folks I serve typically range from adolescence and upward into adulthood. I've found a special appreciation working alongside folks in the LGBTQIA+ community, folks struggling with overcoming addiction and eating disorders....as well as folks who are learning to navigate life by overcoming past trauma.

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.

I work with women of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, and marginalized communities facing anxiety, depression, life transitions, and identity issues.

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.

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.

My ideal client would be a fat bodied individual who is looking to repair their relationship with food and their body. A client who is interested in seeking freedom from diet culture, and unpacking their fatphobia of themselves and how the world sees them. I work from an anti diet and HAES (health at every size) perspective. I also enjoy working with folks in improving communication skills, assertiveness and mindfulness and folks who need assistance in navigating non monogamous relationships

My ideal client is ready to get curious about their story, their drives, and what's holding them back.

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.

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.
Online Therapy
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.

We welcome all ages: children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples.

The goal is to empower you to use self-awareness to your advantage, rather than letting it work against you, as you learn to navigate life’s challenges and embrace opportunities with clarity and poise.
