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 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 older teens and adults trying to figure out what’s happened, who they are in this moment, and where they want to go from here. With a warm, straightforward, and affirming approach, I can help you work toward goals that are focused on you and getting to a place where 'being' just feels better. I really enjoy working with older teens, young adults, LGBTQ+ adolescents, and anyone looking to heal and recover from trauma.

Do you wonder how you will find a therapist who offers a safe space to discuss LGBTQ concerns and challenges and also advocates for equality? Do you want to work with a counselor who does not judge your feelings of anxiety and uneasiness about a new medical diagnosis, new medical diagnosis, graduating from college, starting a new job or starting a new business? I look forward to working with you to find clarity and joy in your life.

I work with adults who want to overcome or cope with difficult emotions, restore hope and confidence, repair or build relationships, create healthier patterns, or establish and maintain recovery. Are you seeking relief, insight, courage? Safe support? Skills for change? To slow down, shift priorities, speak up, or step out? Some come with ideas about what they want or need. Others don't. Some are just hurting, overwhelmed, at wits end, and don't know what to do next. Therapy works for both.
