Everyone is chasing happiness - an emotion that comes and goes - but perhaps what you are truly seeking is the state of peace. Making peace with our past while maintaining hope for the future may seem impossible right now, but that is where I can help. "You were born with wings, why prefer to crawl through life?" (Rumi)

Individuals who will benefit from neuropsychological testing are interested in understanding how their cognitive skills (or those of their children) are impacting their daily functioning. Many individuals have concerns about school functioning and are wondering why they (or their children) are struggling. Some individuals are interested in maximizing their cognitive strengths to perform better at school or their place of employment.

Are you seeking resilience in uncertain times? My approach to therapy combines psychodynamic training with CBT, finding practical solutions to problems. This means that you and I will work together to find both the "why" of what you bring to therapy (childhood development, history, and social context) and the "what" (how to change what you want to change). I tend to work with high achievers who feel there is something lacking in their personal lives and relationships. I work with adults, as well as adolescents in high school or college/graduate school. I see both individuals and couples who want to make meaningful changes.

Are you struggling to feel “strong” enough or “good” enough? Have you had changes in your life that leave you feeling confused and upset? Does fear of being a burden to your loved ones cause you to hold back or "hide" your emotions? I provide a compassionate space where clients can lay down their anxieties, grief, and pain, as they pursue a path to healing. I work with clients to process the events of their life, and to write a new inner story about themselves, rooted in self-compassion.

Teen 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.
