Feeling a certain level of anxiety over big stressors or certain life events is totally normal. However, if you find that your fear or worry does not go away and, in fact, gets worse over time, you may be suffering from an anxiety disorder. Mild anxiety is vague and unsettling and often passes quickly, while severe anxiety can seriously affect your day-to-day life. If you are finding your anxiety unmanageable, can’t identify the cause of your anxious feelings or if you are suffering from physical symptoms (such as heart palpations, fatigue, sweaty hands, upset stomach, or insomnia), it may be time to get help. Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s anxiety specialists today.

You’re the kind of person who has always pushed forward, no matter what. On the outside, you’re accomplished, driven, and maybe even the one others turn to for support. But inside, there’s a weight—one you’ve carried for far too long. Maybe it’s the echoes of childhood trauma, painful relationships, or the deep wounds of sexual trauma. You’ve done your best to move on, but the past still lingers— you’re not broken, healing is possible; I look forward to helping you reclaim your future!

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.

Calling all women who feel dismissed, overlooked, or rejected by your family. Every time you talk with them you end up feeling worse. The loneliness is real. You don’t feel seen even when you’re surrounded by family and friends. You feel obligated to meet everyone’s wants and needs, but it feels like no matter what you do it’s never enough or there’s no time for you. You don’t have to be exhausted and frustrated. Our work will help you embrace who you really are and discover who you want to be.

Often, life's deepest moments are intertwined with the relationships we form; and some of life's biggest struggles result from barriers to those connections. Whether it's trauma, anger management, codependence, isolation, suicidality or something else - you and I can tackle it together. Facing challenges in the safe container of the therapeutic environment helps build resilience to face whatever life tosses your way.

I don't really have a particular population I focus on. I want to work with everybody! That said, I have a great deal of experience with adults with persistent and severe mental illness, adolescents with oppositional and defiant behavior, and clients seeking help from their local psychiatrist. I start every session with "Tell me what's going on with you. What can I do to help?" Then we go from there. I end every session with "Was that helpful?" I haven't heard "No" yet.
