LGBTQ Family Therapist in Minneapolis MN
LGBTQ Family Therapist in Minneapolis MN – Support for Families, Kids, and Teens
​
As a LGBTQ family therapist in Minneapolis MN, I work with kids, teens, parents, and families to help everyone feel safe, seen, and supported. My goal is to create a warm and welcoming space where you and your family can talk openly and grow stronger together.
​
Families come in all shapes and sizes—and I believe every family deserves care that fits them just right. Whether you're a parent looking for help, a teen figuring things out, or a child needing someone to talk to, I'm here for you.
​
A Therapist for LGBTQ Families
​
Being part of an LGBTQ family comes with unique joys and challenges. As a LGBTQ family therapist in Minneapolis MN, I understand how important it is to be heard without judgment. Whether you’re dealing with school stress, family changes, or big questions about identity, I provide support that feels right for you and your family.
​
I work with many kinds of families: LGBTQ parents, kids with LGBTQ identities, and families with transgender children. Some families come to me just needing a safe space to talk. Others need help finding tools to communicate better, manage anxiety, or deal with tough emotions. Whatever you're going through, we’ll work on it together.
Therapy That Fits Your Family
LGBTQ Family Therapist in Minneapolis MN | A Safe Space for LGBTQ Children and Teens
​
Growing up can be hard, and it can be even harder when you feel like you don’t fit in. As a LGBTQ child therapist and LGBTQ teen therapist, I help kids and teens explore who they are, talk about their feelings, and find confidence in their identity.
​
Sometimes young people are questioning their gender or sexuality. Sometimes they’re being bullied, or struggling with mental health. Sometimes they just need someone to listen. As a LGBTQ family therapist in Minneapolis MN, I use fun, age-appropriate tools like play therapy and creative activities to help younger kids feel at ease.
For teens, we work together to build trust and talk about what matters most to them.
If you're looking for a therapist for trans children or LGBTQ youth, I’m here to help your child feel accepted and understood.
​
Support for Parents and Caregivers
​
It’s okay to have questions as a parent. It’s okay to be unsure of what to say, or how to help. I offer therapy for parents of transgender children, as well as other parents in LGBTQ families. Whether you're learning how to support your child’s identity or dealing with stress in the home, I offer a space just for you.
​
As a therapist for parents, I’ll help you feel more confident and connected to your child. You don’t have to have all the answers. We’ll figure things out together—step by step.
​
Therapy That Fits Your Family
​
No two families are the same, and that’s what makes each one special. I offer therapy that fits your unique needs. I can work with:
​
-
One-on-one with kids and teens
-
With parents and caregivers
-
With the whole family together
-
Or in marriage therapy with couples
​
As a trained LGBTQ family therapist in Minneapolis MN and marriage therapist, I believe in helping the whole family grow stronger. Whether that means solving a problem, building better communication, or just having a place to talk—it’s all important.

Deep questions. Like, really deep.
