At Prism, I work solely with LGBTQ+ youth and adults and their loved ones. I work with people at various places in their lives, including: transgender or non-binary teens who are struggling with dysphoria and potentially other co-occurring mental illness; parents/guardians of LGBTQ+ youth who may need support or education to understand their child's identity and process through their feelings; young adults exploring their LGBTQ+ identity and deciding whether to come out to family, coworkers or friends; LGBTQ+ youth who are struggling with self injury or suicidal thoughts; and more!

Yet doing so often makes all the difference in therapeutic outcomes. I have dedicated my entire practice to supporting this incredible and diverse community! As the parent of a transgender son, I have a passion for helping LGBTQ+ youth and adults manage the many emotions, celebrations and struggles that are part of their life journey. I also love to support parents in the process of understanding and affirming their child's identity. Contact me today to get the support you or your child need!
