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 anxious or stressed? A bit of a perfectionist for whom things are not perfect? Are past events getting in the way of what you want to do in the present? I love working with adults and teens dealing with anxiety or panic, trauma (including complex trauma), creative/entertainment industry issues, relationships, and identity issues.

You're good at masking but inside you feel alone and overwhelmed. Asking for help wasn’t a safe option in the past so now you can’t help but feel like a burden when you need support. And sometimes it feels like your relationships are surface level or one-sided. Please know that you’re not alone! People who experienced chaotic or unstable childhoods often feel this way, and it is possible to heal and live the fulfilling life that you deserve. It may feel out of reach but you can grow the ability

Are you tired of anxiety and worry running your life? Is your to do list piling up and you just can't find the energy to get things done? Have you become your own biggest critic? I want to work with you to take back your life and become your most authentic self. I work with a full range of clients (children, adults, couples, families) and specialize in depression, anxiety, and trauma.

I tend to work with folks who are curious about themselves, others, and the human condition in general. My clients often come to therapy recognizing that they have endured relational and/or societal trauma and knowing how it impacts them. However, they feel unsure of how to reckon with, heal, and integrate their traumatic experiences. My clients are ready to live more expansively, have more balanced relationships, and feel more grounded in their daily life but need support to get there.

The decision to start therapy is a powerful first step in addressing areas of your life you’d like to explore. While our work together will be tailored to your specific needs, my areas of experience include, but aren’t limited to addressing symptoms of anxiety & depression, life transitions, emotional expression, career difficulties & stress, communication skills, intimacy, peer relationships, self esteem, family dynamics, self worth and acceptance.

Many of my clients come to me frustrated with their relationships, their career, or patterns they feel stuck in, and are feeling pretty powerless. The source of their pain is often contributed to being mistreated, not feeling fully seen, heard, and acknowledged by family, peers, society, and culture. My clients have a desire for personal growth, to find connection, and to build confidence.
Online Therapy
Many of my clients are high-achieving, bi-coastal creatives and professionals. I work with talent in entertainment, music, art, philosophy, writing, medicine, tech, law, and psychology. I help clients address challenges in juggling their well-being with their expectations, roles at home/work, responsibilities, deadlines, relationships, creative flow, and past experiences. Part of succeeding in this balance is finding the right collaborator.
Online Therapy
I see many clients who feel stuck and unable to alter their life in a way that reflects their values, causing them to feel sad, on edge, or numb. They are suffering a great deal, and often their needs seem unclear. This can look like constant worrying, dreading the future, or being caught up in the past. I use a frank and kind style to empower clients to find meaning and hope as they navigate the complicated, often oppressive systems of our world.
Online Therapy
I accompany clients as they address anxiety, depression, trauma, and challenging life changes. Together, we work to increase insight, practical skills, and self-awareness through a lively engagement with the "less visited" parts of self that we often take for granted. My treatment approach is based on awakening deep compassion and curiosity about ourselves and the world.
