Gender identity issues, sometimes called gender dysphoria or gender conflict, occur when an individual feels an inconsistency between their physical gender and the gender they truly feel or identify with. This most commonly exhibits itself as a physical discomfort with the gender one was assigned at birth, including the feeling of being in the wrong body. Children with gender dysphoria may express disgust of their own genitals or a certainty that they will grow up to be the opposite sex. Some individuals with gender identity issues treat this feeling by physically modifying their bodies to better match their gender identity. Gender dysphoria comes with it an increased risk for depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, and bullying. If you are experiencing gender identity issues, reach out to one of TherapyDen’s qualified professionals today.

I enjoy blending my training as a therapist with queer neurodivergent lived experience to create a space that is affirming and accepting for my clients who often tell me that it is a relief to be able to speak freely about the facets of their identity without first having to educate me about the basics of these topics. Many clients have shared that previous therapists seemed too uptight or not transparent, and therefore enjoy the open and honest dialogue that we have in session.

Do you wonder how you will find a therapist who offers a safe space to discuss LGBTQ concerns and challenges and also advocates for equality? Do you want to work with a counselor who does not judge your feelings of anxiety and uneasiness about a new medical diagnosis, new medical diagnosis, graduating from college, starting a new job or starting a new business? I look forward to working with you to find clarity and joy in your life.

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.

You've achieved so much — earned your degree, built a thriving career, and maybe even found your partner. Yet, beneath it all, you're grappling with lingering questions: Am I truly enough? Is it okay to be me? What's holding me back from feeling truly loved and valued? And where exactly am I headed in this wild journey of life?
Chances are, if you're reading this, you are already noticing there are behaviors or patterns in your life you think could be better, and think it could be helpful to talk to someone about them. Someone who's not a friend, parent, teacher, or co-worker; someone who is impartial, someone with nothing to gain from you going one way or another. Engaging in counseling is a brave choice, and I am here to give space to your burdens so that you can continue on your journey that much lighter.
