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’ve been staring at your to-do list for half an hour and still haven’t made a bit of progress. You’re not sure when everything became so complicated. Even the things you used to enjoy have turned into overwhelming obstacles. You see the people around you being productive, socializing, and making progress in their lives. Meanwhile, you feel stuck in place, like the world is passing you by.

I am passionate about working with couples, as well as adolescents and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, or feeling marginalized or undervalued. I am also especially interested in helping men who are struggling with issues around fatherhood.
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.

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.

Perhaps you are experiencing intrusive, shameful thoughts and self-label as a “horrible person,” or is engaging in unwanted repetitive behaviors that take up too much of your time. You may be feeling deep sadness that you cannot shake, and a sense of helplessness and hopelessness. Most of your energy may be directed towards avoiding certain situations due to the discomfort and distress they bring. All these can be overwhelming but don't give up. I have the tools you need to find relief.

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.
