Gender identity issues, sometimes called gender dysphoria or gender conflict, occur when an individual feels an inconsistency between their physical gender and the gender they truly feel or identify with. This most commonly exhibits itself as a physical discomfort with the gender one was assigned at birth, including the feeling of being in the wrong body. Children with gender dysphoria may express disgust of their own genitals or a certainty that they will grow up to be the opposite sex. Some individuals with gender identity issues treat this feeling by physically modifying their bodies to better match their gender identity. Gender dysphoria comes with it an increased risk for depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, and bullying. If you are experiencing gender identity issues, reach out to one of TherapyDen’s qualified professionals today.

I have provided behavioral health care services across a spectrum of populations, within a variety of settings to include: a residential psychiatric rehabilitation treatment facility (PRTF), the Department of Corrections, the family court system, Drug and Young Adult Courts, military installations, schools, outpatient and community mental health, as well as private/group practice. I work with individuals; families; couples & groups affected by existential and a range of mental health issues.
I enjoy blending my training as a therapist with queer neurodivergent lived experience to create a space that is affirming and accepting for my clients who often tell me that it is a relief to be able to speak freely about the facets of their identity without first having to educate me about the basics of these topics. Many clients have shared that previous therapists seemed too uptight or not transparent, and therefore enjoy the open and honest dialogue that we have in session.

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 adult clients who find themselves feeling overwhelmed or stuck in unhealthy patterns and wanting to better understand themselves and build healthier relationships. I focus on exploring emotions, resolving issues from the past, and increasing self-awareness. I provide evidenced-based, multiculturally competent counseling. My client's enjoy learning more about themselves to make longer-lasting changes in their relationships with themselves and others.
