Children between the ages of 5-19 who are questioning their gender identity, those who struggle with ADHD and executive dysfunction, Autism Spectrum disorder and of course the anxiety and depression that often accompany these diagnosis. The goals for many of the youth I work with include removing obstacles that impede school performance and self regulation skills. I frequently consult with child study teams, psychiatrists as well as a host of other medical professionals including pediatric endocrinologists for families considering puberty blockers and HRT for their child.

Families, and the relationships that hold them together, are a part of all of us. Regardless of their beginning or circumstance, they shape us in a multitude of ways. Oftentimes, they can be the source of the happiest and most painful moments in our lives. And, learning how to navigate your way through those relationships, as they change and grow throughout your life, can be hard at times and can make you feel "stuck". That's where I come in.
