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 utilize a combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, and person-centered therapy to help my clients develop healthy coping mechanisms and build resilience. I believe in empowering my clients to understand their emotions and make positive choices. I enjoy working with teens on navigating issues with friends & families as well as learning to navigate new intense emotions that arise in adolescence. I also love working with young adults transitioning to adulthood.

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.

Seeking counseling is an important decision. I want your counseling experience to be something that helps you live a more authentic, balanced life, with more resolution and more connection. I am committed to creating a safe, compassionate, non-judgmental space for you to find clarity, healing and empowerment. I help people who live with ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, and low self-esteem learn coping strategies and life skills to build their self-awareness, fulfillment, and resilience.
