Depression is a mental health disorder that affects mood, including how you feel, think, and behave. Everyone feels sad sometimes, but when it starts to affect your ability to perform daily tasks and your ability to enjoy things that typically bring you happiness, you may be suffering from depression. The symptoms of depression vary from person to person, but often include feeling miserable without a clear reason why, anxiety, agitation, insomnia or sleeping too much, hopelessness, changes in eating, and/or foggy thinking. Depression may also cause recurrent thoughts of death or suicide (or even a wish that it would all 'stop' in an abstract sense). If you think you might be suffering from depression, a qualified mental health therapist can help. Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s depression experts today!
Have you looked at yourself in the mirror and not recognize the person looking back at you? Do you ever wonder how you went from 0-60? Do you do things in the moment—yell, scream, shut down, pretend like you don’t care—and wish you could take it back? If you are filled with anger, sadness, anxiety, fear, mistrust, and negativity, it will inevitably seep into your relationships with those you love. These parts of us tend to push others away, even though what we most desire is peace & connection.

Do you not feel good enough, no matter what you do? You may be fed up with nitpicking yourself, second guessing yourself, or constantly comparing yourself to others. You might not even remember when things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to think about yourself for once. You’re ready to feel safe in your own skin. And most of all, you’re ready to form a deeper connection with yourself and others.

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 adults and couples for perinatal mental health, identity exploration, and neurodiverse-affirming support in an LGBTQIA+ safe space. If you feel like you “have it all,” but you can’t shake this nagging feeling that something is missing, are overwhelmed managing your multiple roles (parent, spouse, partner, friend, co-worker), or feel like you’re struggling to navigate fertility as a queer person, get pregnant, be pregnant, or transition into parenthood, I can help.

I know how isolating it can feel to experience stressful or traumatic events on your own, and so often, we feel like a burden on our loved ones for turning to them for support.

Do you feel anxious, sad, lonely, or isolated? Do you struggle with pain connected to racism, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, or one of the many ways we can be made to feel less than or not ourselves? As we build a relationship together, your thoughts, feelings, experiences, fears, and fantasies will be heard and treated with respect, curiosity, and care.
I strive to create a safe, supportive, non-judgmental space for clients who feel burdened with hard feelings. You may be navigating a period of anxiety or depression, struggling with a difficult phase of life, unsure of how to move beyond past experiences, or feeling badly about who you are as a person or loved one. We will create a collaborative and respectful partnership where we can work through these questions together, empowering you to find your path back to joy and calm in your life.

How are you dealing with abnormal, inhumane stressors? In our culture and healthcare systems, the problems were not caused by you. The answer can't be for you to complete another module and push through on your own. Have relentless demands and expectations left you burned out, depressed, anxious, and even traumatized? Something needs to change.

I also have experience working with neurodiversity, recognizing and meeting client's needs. Many clients may need support with depression, anxiety, ADHD, ASD, OCD or other issues. Topics also include relationship issues, addiction challenges and work/life balance.

You have checked all the boxes of what you think would bring health and happiness. Yet you live with constant anxiety, dread of something going wrong, and a sense that you aren't good enough. You care deeply and feel strongly, and that can make it hard to put work down, hard to ignore other people's negativity, hard to not take everything personally. You want to be more present for the moments of your life, and you've tried pretty much everything to no avail. You wonder if there is another way.
