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 passion is marriage counseling. Additionally, I have experience with individuals who struggle with grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, life changes, coping skills, and LGBTQ community. My purpose is to meet my client’s needs and goals by tracking their progress throughout our treatment plan and adjust as needed.
Are you ready to be actively involved in healing your perception of dis-ease, and taking responsibility for creating the life you are meant to live? James Baldwin stated that not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced. If you are ready to play an active role in your healing, wish to go beyond talk therapy, and desire to include spirituality and the body-mind connection in your personal growth work, then I may be the holistic theracoach for you.

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.

When getting to know new clients, I come with an attitude of curiosity, empathy and unconditional positive regard. I specialize in childhood trauma and church hurt. As a former member of a high-demand religion, I know how difficult the deconstruction process can be. I'm a member of the LGBTQ+ community and offer an inclusive, safe and accepting space. My practice is also sex-positive, gender-affirming and anti-racist.

Clients let me into the depths of their mind, heart, and spirit. I also let you into mine, from time to time, as therapeutically appropriate. No topic is off the table in therapy unless you say it is. I thrive facilitating an environment where you'll feel comfortable relatively quick sharing all of your hurts and frustrations.
