Neurodiverse Families

You love your kid, but sometimes you just don’t understand them, you want to help but you don’t know how, or you’re even afraid of them?

​

Your kids are wonderful, but the sensory overwhelm, executive function demands, or constant need for attention are too much? 

Whether Autistic, ADHD, or sensory sensitive, neurodiverse families trying to make it in a neurotypical world need more support. Attachment, discipline, and so much more look different for these families. I offer more tools, yes, but also a new way of looking at each of your true needs, and a chance to finally meet each other on shared ground.

Queer Families

If you know, you know: queer families have so much love and joy to share with their kids!

And they often face different challenges than other families, from conception, to homophobia, to complex family dynamics. You shouldn't have to educate your therapist on what makes your family special -- queerness is the norm here!

Trans and Gender Non-Conforming Families

Variation is the norm in the natural world – there are so many ways to be in a body, to be in a gender, to be a parent.

When you’ve been brave enough to step outside of the sex-assigned-at-birth box and live your true self, you deserve celebration. And when your child is exploring gender, they deserve the best support we can give them.

And, in the world today, trans and gender nonconforming families face oppression and danger no one should face. As a non-binary therapist myself, I work with these families to identify how to keep themselves safe, how to support their kids, and how to share their gifts with the world.

Polyamorous Families

Ethically non-monogamous and polyamorous families can raise kids absolutely surrounded by love. While non-monogamy can come with challenges for the grown ups – lots to learn and unlearn – it can be a gift to children, who have parents who understand attachment, take responsibility for their own needs, and are happy and fulfilled.

Working with non-monogamous families, I bring an exquisite understanding of attachment theory, knowledge of children's needs, and lived experience.

Single Parent Families

Being the "only one" is a tremendous responsibility. In a world where parents are already stretched thin, single parents really have no slack. I’m a single parent myself, and I know the good, the bad, and the ugly, as they say.

I also know what they don’t talk about – the devotion of single parents, the closeness and the joys that others will never know. You deserve support from someone who knows the pressures you're under and can celebrate your choices.
