You have a trans child and Trump will be our next president. Now what? You have been put in an impossible position: to advocate for your child’s needs and to protect them from a bigoted world. How do you balance these seemingly competing needs when so many unknowns are looming? In short, how do you honor your child’s safety and sovereignty?
My practice is for you and your child. I can help you with deciding to pursuing a social or medical transition, advocating for your child at school or with extended family, and teach you how to talk to your child about transphobia. We will nurture your grit and tenderness, so these choices are made from emotional strength instead of anxiety.
I am also a safe haven for your child. With therapy tailored to their developmental stage, we will increase their resiliency and process any past hurts or fears about the future. I believe in a shining future for your family. Reach out and let’s create it together.
