Gender-Affirming Therapy for Trans, Nonbinary & Gender-Expansive Kids and Teens in Centennial, CO
Helping children and teens explore who they are with confidence, compassion, and support—and helping parents navigate the journey alongside them.
Every child deserves a place where they can feel seen, respected, and accepted exactly as they are.
If your child is transgender, nonbinary, gender-expansive, or questioning their gender, you may be carrying a lot as a parent. You want to support them well, but you may also be navigating anxiety, uncertainty, school concerns, family dynamics, or questions you never expected to have.
You don't have to figure it out on your own. When children feel deeply understood, they're better able to understand themselves. And when parents better understand their child's experience, it becomes easier to respond with confidence, connection, and compassion.
Therapy provides a space where your child can explore their identity at their own pace while helping your whole family better understand what they need to feel safe, connected, and supported.

I believe every child deserves to be understood before they're asked to explain themselves.
My approach is rooted in curiosity, respect, and collaboration. I don't assume where your child's journey will lead or push toward any particular outcome. Instead, I create a space where they can safely explore who they are while developing greater confidence, emotional awareness, and self-trust.
Many of the children and teens I work with are also navigating anxiety, perfectionism, emotional overwhelm, or the exhaustion of masking parts of themselves to fit in. My work is grounded in a nervous system-informed approach that recognizes how identity, belonging, and emotional regulation are deeply connected.
Throughout the process, I partner closely with parents. Together, we'll make sense of your child's experiences, strengthen communication, and help you feel more confident supporting them both at home and in the world around them. I’m happy to connect families to resources or collaborate with current systems to ensure your child is supported in every environment they interface with.

Therapy is a place where your child doesn't have to have everything figured out. Sessions move at their pace and are tailored to their developmental stage, personality, and goals.
For younger children, therapy may include play and creative expression to explore emotions and identity in developmentally appropriate ways. For older children and teens, sessions combine conversation, reflection, and practical activities and tools that support emotional regulation, resilience, and self-understanding.
