In my years working with youth in a therapeutic context as well as through my own personal experience, I have gained a deep understanding of the issues that children and adolescents face as they develop their identities and learn how to cope with life's ups and downs. LGBTQ+ youth development is further complicated by the discovery that there is something different about them. LGBTQ+ youth experience disproportionately high suicide rates due to living in a world that, at times, refuses to believe or accept them as they are. Because of this, they can be more susceptible to being bullied, developing low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and experiencing trauma. 

I provide personalized support around sexual and gender identity development, managing gender dysphoria, anxiety, depression, trauma, relational conflict, self-esteem, boundary-setting, and coping skill building. I am here to support your child in developing insight and understanding of themself, and to gain the tools needed to become a confident, capable adult.
