THERAPY FOR TEENS & PARENTS
Affirming today. Supporting for life.
Therapy for transgender, nonbinary, and gender questioning youth and their families. Together, we build understanding, connection, and a future where everyone can thrive.
You’re not alone in this.
Family understanding and participation are key to successful access to gender-affirming care and a young persons sense of safety in the world. I’ve had the priviledge of working with hundreds of young people (ages 9 and up) and their families as they navigate gender identity, transition, and challenges that come with seeking affirming care in today’s world.
Exploring or questioning gender identity
Coming out and family adjustment

Every young person deserves to be seen, respected, and supported.
_______________
When families grow in understanding, everyone has the chance to heal, connect, and thrive.
My Approach
My approach centers both the young person's experience and the family's role in providing understanding and support.
I help parents and caregivers build confidence in their ability to affirm their child while processing their own emotions and questions along the way.
Sessions may focus on exploring identity, fostering communication and trust within the family, and connecting to appropriate medical and community resources.
This work is deeply relational, collaborative, and rooted in hope, creating space for youth and families to navigate uncertainty toward affirmation, clarity, and connection.
