Therapy for Children, Teens, and you
Therapy for LGBTQ Children – Safe, Playful, and Supportive
Kids are amazing. They are curious, expressive, and always growing. But they also deal with big feelings that can be hard to talk about.
As a child therapist and LGBTQ family therapist in St Louis Park MN, I work with children who are exploring their identity, struggling with anxiety, or having a tough time at home or school. Some kids might not have the words yet—but that’s okay.
That’s where play therapy comes in. With toys, art, and games, kids can express their feelings in fun and safe ways. I also work as a therapist for trans children, helping them feel understood, supported, and proud of who they are.
Therapy for LGBTQ Teens – A Space to Be Yourself
Teen years can be full of questions. Who am I? Where do I fit in? What do I believe? These questions can be especially hard for LGBTQ teens, who may be navigating identity, school stress, social pressures, or family change.
As a LGBTQ therapist, I support teens who want a place to talk freely, without judgment. I help with things like:
-
Coming out
-
Building self-confidence
-
Managing anxiety or depression
-
Exploring gender and identity
-
Improving family communication
Whether you’re a teen looking for support or a parent of a teen who needs help, I’m here to listen. Therapy gives teens a place to be real, ask big questions, and get tools to handle life’s ups and downs.
Therapy for You – Guidance and Support
Parents, caregivers, and adults: this section is for you. Being there for your child or teen is one of the most important (and sometimes hardest) jobs there is. And if you’re a parent of a transgender child or part of an LGBTQ family, you might feel like you’re figuring things out as you go.
As a therapist for parents, I offer support that’s kind, non-judgmental, and helpful. We can talk about parenting challenges, fears, questions, and hopes. I help parents feel more confident and connected to their children—especially when navigating complex topics like gender and identity.
I also work with adults in LGBTQ families who may want help with relationships, communication, or personal growth. As a LGBTQ family therapist in St Louis Park MN, I support couples looking to strengthen their bond or navigate changes with care and honesty.
You don’t have to figure everything out on your own. Therapy can be a place to breathe, reflect, and move forward.

Listening with my whole spirit.
A big laugh.
Deep questions. Like, really deep.
The courage to go there, wherever your there is.
An eye for context. Physical, emotional, financial, historical, political.
A commitment to undoing the legacy of white supremacy in my body.

A refuge when you don’t.
