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 feel anxious and it's hard to shut your brain off. People tell you to relax, but it's not that easy for you. You've worked hard to get where you are, but it's hard to sit back and enjoy it. Your standards for yourself feel too high, and you question how long you can keep this up. You tend to doubt yourself and your abilities and look to other people to reassure you. It's hard to take up space, feel confident, and speak your truth. A better way forward is possible in therapy.

I have been working with trauma for many years using EMDR, and have found that trauma often impacts survivors in lasting ways including addiction, trouble with intimate relationships, and sexuality. I have worked with addictions my entire career and have become more proficient in my ability to treat sexual issues as well as sexual compulsions and addictions. For sex therapy clients, I welcome both individuals and couples for sessions.
We'll go at the pace that you set. You won’t only hear “How does that make you feel?” in therapy with me. I will also help you learn the skills necessary to survive- even thrive- through your worst times. Collaboratively, we will do this together.

I find the most joy working with individuals who are experiencing anxiety, depression, a history of childhood trauma, relational trauma, relationship issues, and/or identity concerns. I believe that self-discovery and self-exploration can be transformative, and I tend to work best with curious individuals who seek a deeper understanding of themselves and their experiences.

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.
