DID YOU KNOW?
~ 1.6 Million People in the U.S. age 13+ identify as Transgender (Williams Institute, 2022)
~ 18% of Americans who identify as Transgender are age 13-17 (Williams Institute, 2022)
~ 62% of LGBTQ youth reported symptoms of major depressive disorder, more than 2 in 3 transgender and nonbinary youth (The Trevor Project, 2021)
You’re likely reading this now because you likely are the parent of a child that identifies as trans, non-binary, or perhaps another term. Or, maybe you suspect that your child may be gender non-conforming, but has yet to describe themselves with a specific label.
I want you to know that parenting a child who grapples with issues of gender identity can be a long, difficult journey, but it can also be very positive and life-affirming. “So, what’s next? Where do we go from here?”
Whether you are feeling isolated, overwhelmed, or confused, remember that you are not alone.
I’d like to offer you a free, 15-minute consultation to discuss the unique situation you face with your child, as you both chart the course on this journey. You may reach me by using the contact form on this page or, simply call/email me directly — you can locate that info right above the form.
I truly look forward to speaking with you.

Hello! You’re reading this now because you likely are the parent of a child that identifies as trans, non-binary, or perhaps another term. Or, maybe you suspect that your child may be gender non-conforming, but has yet to describe themselves with a specific label.
Putting the issue of labels aside, I want you to know that parenting a child who grapples with issues of gender identity can be a long, difficult journey, but it can also be very positive and life-affirming. “So, what’s next? Where do we go from here?” How does this all extend to practical matters such as schooling, social interactions, extended family, etc.? Managing your own mental well-being, and that of your child, is essential.
Whether you are feeling isolated, overwhelmed, or confused, remember that you are not alone.
