Counseling for Parents & Guardians in Houston, TX

Counseling for Parents & Guardians in Houston, TX

Parenting Can Be Hard

Whatever the age of your children, parenting is not easy. As a parent, it’s normal to feel full of love and excitement, as well as overwhelmed, stressed, frustrated, worried, and sad - maybe all in the same day.

​If your child has come out as LGBTQIA+, you might also be struggling to understand or accept this part of their identity. You can love and support your child and still feel unsure, confused, or concerned. Or if you identify as LGBTQIA+, you might be figuring out how to share this wonderful part of yourself with your kids and support them as they understand this part of you.

​You Deserve Support

Through counseling sessions, I’ll help you get the tools you need to feel less stressed and overwhelmed, more confident as a parent, and improve communication and understanding between you and your children. I have many years of experience working with parents and guardians just like you - who love their children and want the best for them.
