Are you a parent seeking support for your transgender or gender-diverse child—or navigating this journey yourself? Many of the families I work with are managing identity development alongside anxiety, trauma, school stress, or neurodivergence (autism, ADHD, high sensitivity). They want clarity, steadiness, and practical support—not just affirmation, but real tools to help their child feel grounded and their family feel more confident.
I specialize in therapy for transgender and nonbinary youth in CT and NY, with particular expertise in neurodivergence and trauma. My work is developmentally informed, collaborative, and structured. We focus on emotional regulation, identity development, coping skills, and strengthening family communication.
Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, especially when the stakes feel high. You don’t have to navigate this alone. If you’re looking for specialized, thoughtful care for your child or yourself, I’d welcome the opportunity to connect and explore next steps together.
