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.

My clients often navigate complex challenges like comorbidities, serious illnesses, and end-of-life issues. They come from marginalized communities, seeking a therapist who honors their values and beliefs. They desire a safe, supportive space to explore identity, trauma, and relationships. Using various modalities, I offer authenticity and compassion, guiding them through personal growth, healing, and empowerment.
Are you feeling stressed, sad, in pain, anxious…or all of the above? Do you think you "should" feel happy, but you don't--and you're not sure why or what to do about it? Or maybe you're grieving a loss or a trauma & feeling lost yourself. No matter what you're facing, I'm here to help!! Therapy isn't only about making changes; but also developing insight into your strengths & what's already working for you. Those strengths are the foundation for helping you become your most authentic self.

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.

We all have a unique story which defines how we manage our daily lives. I will be that therapist who provides you with a safe and welcoming environment to tell your story. I am aware that everyone has challenges, struggles, and sometimes feel “stuck” at some point in their life. I will be the first to tell you that this is ok, you are not alone. My goal is to work collaboratively with you so that you feel empowered to overcome these challenges and struggles.

Viewing my role in clients’ lives as a privilege, I approach my work with warmth, candor, and a genuine belief in our potential for growth. Client's often seek services to gain insight into their experience of emotions, relational patterns, past trauma, and present functioning. Together, we work to illuminate a client's story with regard to their past, present, and future goals.

You're someone who is advanced in your healing journey. As you become more conscious, whole and healed, you might find yourself struggling to find someone who can meet you on that level and keep you accountable to your potential. You notice yourself falling into difficult cycles, self-defeating patterns, and while you're ready to take responsibility for yourself, you feel the need for a guide to support you, to widen your perspective, and to co-create with you as you assert your own reality.
