Grief and loss are a part of the human condition. Grief is typically considered to be brought on by the death of a loved one, but can also be triggered by any significant life-altering loss (such as a divorce or the loss of a job). Grief is a natural response to loss, but that doesn’t make it easy to deal with. Symptoms of grief may include sadness, loneliness, anger, denial, depression and a myriad of other thoughts and feelings. There is no “normal” amount of time for grief to pass, but if you find that your grief is not improving over time or that it is interfering with your everyday life, you may want to consider seeking professional help. A qualified grief counselor can help you to cope with the physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and cognitive responses to loss. Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s grief experts today.
My clients often begin therapy citing anxious and/or depressive symptoms tied to complex concerns challenging their pursuits of meaningful living. Some have difficulties managing stress related to their relationships, work/study, and/or identity. Some struggle with the loss of someone or something important. Others feel rudderless, uncertain about how to steer their life in a more fulfilling direction. I have also had success helping people with past negative therapy/psychiatric experiences.

Did you grow up in a controlling, high-demand religious environment? The adverse experiences in this type of setting can lead to feeling like you don't know who you are or what you believe. You may feel torn apart, like there are multiple versions of you in different settings. This can affect the way you treat romantic partners, coworkers, and authority figures. You may also feel conflicted about your identity, your sexuality, and even your body.

My clients come from all walks of life. Most often I work with trans folks, other people in the LGBTQ community, and those who are part of the kink, poly, non-monogamous, or other sex positive communities. It is important to me to provide a space where someone doesn't need to explain their life or face judgement to improve their access to needed care.

Most of us struggle to see outside the box of our immediate struggles, which causes self-doubt and hopelessness. We often need an objective guide to hold a mirror up to our problem and see it from a different perspective. My clients usually struggle with anxiety and/or depression due to relationships, difficult adjustments, trauma, shame, or stigma. Through counseling, my clients increase their self-worth and discover the courage to take control of their lives.

My approach to therapy is warm, interactive and direct. My clients develop a more compassionate understanding of who they are as human beings.

My clients are looking to heal old wounds, and change the things holding them back in their life. They are looking to strengthen their resiliency, grow deeper self knowledge, self mastery,, and stop neglecting themselves.

Are you full of anxiety but hiding it pretty well? Women I work with are often struggling with people pleasing and perfectionism. You might be dealing with a toxic workplace or toxic relationship and feel like you're about to lose it. You may be questioning the direction life is headed but have sleep problems, upsetting thoughts and feel exhausted a lot. You may notice yourself misusing substances or caretaking others or working too much. You can get help now and make changes.

I work with teens, adults, and couples and/or multi-partnered romantic partnerships. I specialize in family and relational issues, anxiety, depression, issues of self-harm, issues of self-esteem and bullying, and personal growth and development.

Many of my clients tend to be queer, young adults who have experienced childhood trauma and are prepared to begin the healing journey, or perhaps pickup where they may have previously left off. I also work with queer folks who have had negative, abusive, or toxic experiences within church/religion because of their gender or sexuality. This is certainly not an exclusive list but meant to provide insight into where my passion and expertise lie.

Acknowledging that you might be in over your head isn't weak, it's wise. If you’ve tried everything you can think of to feel better, but your mind still attacks you or relationships always seem to go sour or you never quite feel at ease even when everything's OK, maybe it's time to look a little deeper. It's not that cutting off toxic people or upping your cardio won't help, because they probably will! But sometimes the wound goes deeper than that or the situation you're in is just too much.
