Feeling a certain level of anxiety over big stressors or certain life events is totally normal. However, if you find that your fear or worry does not go away and, in fact, gets worse over time, you may be suffering from an anxiety disorder. Mild anxiety is vague and unsettling and often passes quickly, while severe anxiety can seriously affect your day-to-day life. If you are finding your anxiety unmanageable, can’t identify the cause of your anxious feelings or if you are suffering from physical symptoms (such as heart palpations, fatigue, sweaty hands, upset stomach, or insomnia), it may be time to get help. Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s anxiety specialists today.

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.

Rather than viewing people as inherently flawed with problematic behaviors and thoughts that require treatment, person-centered therapy identifies that each person has the capacity for personal growth and change. With a person-centered approach there is recognition with the ability to trust the human potential and doing this with empathy and unconditional positive regard will foster change.

My perfect client wants to do some self-exploration, but maybe at a gentle pace. They sometimes want homework but sometimes just need to vent in session. They may work on a specific topic but other times change the topic based on where things are with them that day. They may have a life that doesn't fit the societal norm. They may often feel like they don't "fit in" and feel more comfortable standing off to the side watching life, but they have this desire to change it. They want more.

Do you feel lost, lonely, or disconnected from yourself and the people closest to you? Are you frustrated with your current sex life? Although we are inundated with cultural messaging about sex and relationships, most of us were not given the tools that allow us to connect to our partners or granted the space to freely explore the depths of our sexual selves. You deserve to feel understood, valued, and unburdened by shame. You deserve fulfilling relationships and an authentic intimate life.
