Therapy aims to better understand what's going on in a young person or adult's life that has led to current functioning. This is done through holding curiosity and exploring your early life experiences, family of origin, current context, and identifying your strengths and resources. Together we work on building a unique tool kit to support your care and wellbeing. Therapy takes courage and at times can feel uncomfortable. My aim is to create enough safety and collaboration that we can be open to new ways of seeing things or creating new pathways forward.

Something's not right- you're drowning, lost, afraid, carrying something too heavy to hold alone. Or maybe it's a quieter disconnection - numbness, feeling like you're just going through the motions. You might not even have words for it, you just know that things can't keep going this way.
Or maybe you're reaching out for someone you love — a partner, son, daughter, friend — and you see them struggling but don't know how to help.
Whether you're trying to make sense of what's happened/happening, stuck in patterns that aren't working, searching for meaning and purpose, or simply need a space to release what's being carried, I'm here.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
