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 primarily with individuals and adolescents struggling with anxiety, self esteem, depression, LGBTQ+issues, highly sensitive people and empaths. I also work with couples and families as I believe that in order to best understand a client, I must also understand the family and system that they come from. I particularly love working with adolescents because I know first hand how tough those years can be.

Shame. Guilt. Anxiety. Depression. These are some of the most common issues and also the ones that are the most difficult to talk about and work through. They can be hurdles we have to overcome to reach our goals in life. Much of these issues surround the topic of sex, whether that be sexual orientation, gender identity, relationship dynamics, or religious experiences. My aim is to challenge stigmas and normalize sexual communication to manage all those negative thoughts and feelings.

I specialize in working with clients who are struggling with trauma, boundaries, anxiety, relationship issues, & life transitions. Many of my clients identify as people-pleasers or express difficulty putting themselves first. Some feel they have lost themselves in their work or relations, or find themselves being their own worst critic. Together, we explore the past experiences, emotions, and thought patterns that may be getting in the way of living more authentically &aligned with their values.

I work with patients that span the age range from 6 to 100. Beyond medication management, I use a blend of therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (for anxiety and depression), Exposure Response Prevention (for OCD), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (for Trauma) and Solution-Focused Therapy (for immediate improvement and better outcomes).
