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.

A big laugh.
Deep questions. Like, really deep.
The courage to go there, wherever your there is.
