I know parents come to me wanting to understand their children.
Are you struggling with coming out, exploring your gender identity, religious trauma, are autistic, have ADHD or are just looking for someone that "gets" you. Really "gets" you or your child. LGBTQ, Transgender and gender expansive clients are my specialty and I have been working with this community for over a decade. As a queer person myself, I understand the struggle of coming out or finding your own place in the world. I enjoy working with people from 6th graders to adults who want to have the courage to be who they are. It is okay to need help and I know you are the authority on your own gender identity.

Meeting and speaking about your personal struggles with a stranger can be nerve racking. It comes with feelings of awkwardness and anxiety. You find yourself leaving your comfort place and all the hiding places you have created, to a place that is unknown. I can promise you I will be there all the way supporting and encouraging you to make those life changes you are looking for. We go through life feeling alone, misunderstood, living in fear, anxiety, and anger all the time.
