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.

It takes courage to be honest about how you're really feeling and get the resources you need while working through life issues, challenges, or traumatic experiences. In this process, clients reach out when they're navigating varying degrees of distress and overwhelm, and they're looking for further support. I work collaboratively with clients to build on their strengths, expand their ways of coping, and improve the relationships they have with themselves and others.

My clients have a variety of mental health problems such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, autism, OCD, borderline personality disorder, and ODD. My clients consists of children, teens, adults, couples, and families. My clients come from diverse genders and sexualities.
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.

I work with individuals 14+ who may need a little assistance sometimes. I believe we all come into this world on a blank canvas. Through our experiences, layers form which some can be messy and confusing. I am here to guide you through those layers one step at a time. I work with individuals experiencing life transitions, grief/loss, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders, self esteem issues, self-harm/SI, and other issues that may be preventing them from living up to their potential.
My clients seek clarity with anxiety, depression, relationships, life transitions, self-esteem, PTSD, professional and career issues, college and graduate school issues, stress management, ADD/ADHD, sexual abuse, LGBTQ+, grief, and other concerns. Together we will treat your therapy as a journey that you have the address, and I hold the roadmap.
