About
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. View 4 Photos Many of the children I see identify as LGBTQIA+ or questioning as well as Neurodivergent. I believe strongly that children have the greatest success in counseling when the entire family is actively involved in the therapeutic process. I'm well versed in working with children with ADHD, ASD, Anxiety, Depression as well as a variety of mood disorders.
