Therapists in Chico, CA

Is your teen or pre-teen struggling and you know they need help, but you are not sure where to start? Would you like them to talk to someone who specializes in adolescents? I can help your child and your family get through the rough patches. I help with a wide variety of teen and pre-teen issues including depression, anxiety, school attendance, substance abuse and family conflict. I also have expertise and experience working with transgender and gender non-conforming youth, and helping parents and families through the transition experience from a gender positive approach. If you are a parent and you are here looking for help, I know already that you are your child’s advocate. You are in your child’s corner. That support is a powerful force in their life, and so important for resilience, but when your child is struggling it can be so scary and so hard to know what to do. With grown kids of my own, I’ve been there as a parent through the rocky times too. I can help. Give me a call.

Has your child recently shared with you their gender identity does not align with what they were assigned at birth? Gender exploration can be exciting but it is often accompanied by emotions such as depression, anxiety, and grief. This may be overwhelming for your child and confusing for your family. If your child does not receive the support they need it could become a painful time for them both mentally and emotionally. Although statistics are stacked against trans youth, protective factors such as positive personal regard and a healthy support system will assist your child in remaining resilient.

My awareness of human sexuality rises above my own personal opinion and experiences. I affirm all sexual orientations and transgender experience. I help people reclaim their authentic sexual selves within their particular spiritual/religious/lifeview practice and I tailor my treatment to best fit each individual client. I address a client's sexual issues directly. I don't sidestep the sex part to deal with the other issues in the relationship, although I don't ignore them either. Physiological, psychological, emotional and spiritual processes, are all a part of human sexuality and I understand that an integrated approach is necessary.
