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.
Take a quick survey to find therapists that match your needs.
Are you a someone who has a lot of strengths but keeps hitting a wall? Many of those I work with have difficulty recognizing and articulating their emotions, which can lead to difficulty making decisions, asserting their needs, or setting healthy boundaries. They may feel disconnected from themselves and others, as if they are not fully present, leading to problems in their relationships and even with themselves. Does any of this sound familiar?

Are you struggling to navigate life's stressors and transitions? Do you sometimes struggle with figuring out how to stay true to yourself while navigating life's demands? Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed and are not sure which path to head down? I hear you. Navigating through this world can be challenging, and we all need support and guidance from time to time. My goal is to help clients better understand their thoughts and emotions, as well as to live a fulfilling and authentic life.

I work with couples to develop good communication, enhance intimacy, and work through issues that are preventing them from moving forward in their relationship. It can be easy to be stuck in patterns that don't work, especially if there is history involved. My passion is also working with people who are pregnant, trying to conceive, postpartum, or struggling with infertility and miscarriages. Anxiety and depression can often go hand in hand with these issues along with some disordered eating.

I work with a variety of adults individually and in relationships who present with issues such as depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. I like to work with young people in their twenties, , musicians, academics, rural residents, and children/grandchildren of Holocaust survivors. I am a sex positive therapist who is LGBT and polyamory friendly.

My clients tend to be individuals who struggle to advocate for themselves in relationships- whether they be work, romantic, familial or friendly. They tend to put other people's feelings before their own. They may struggle with anxiety, depression, or both. I work with a lot of people who experienced emotional neglect in childhood, and/or self centered parents, and/or very oppressive home environments.
