Having a transgender or gender nonbinary child is a wonderful gift, but it comes with a unique journey for both child and parent. Support is not only essential, but a gem of the journey! Possibly your child has expressed feeling that they are another gender and you are unsure about what to do next. Maybe your child is already living as their authentic gender, but they are showing signs of insecurity or distress around their body. Or possibly, puberty is approaching, and your child’s doctor has recommended therapy as they prepare for puberty suppression. I seek to provide guidance and support through stretches such as these. View 4 Photos My specialty is working with transgender and gender nonbinary children ages 2+. I hold specialized expertise working with transfeminine youth ages 9-12 and TGNB teens and adults. I also hold strong experience and passion for working with teenagers and young adults navigating their identity forming years. Becoming one’s true self or supporting a child or teen in this process takes courage greater than most understand. Whether you are personally in a space of identity exploration and/or transition, or a parent desiring a safe and supportive space for your child or yourself, I would love to join you on your journey.
