As the parent of a teenager, I understand how challenging life can be for a loved one.
I currently have immediate daytime availability! Childhood & adolescence is hard sometimes, & it can be even harder to find someone to talk to about everyday issues like problems with friends, anxiety, depression, or any other negative emotion. These emotions, if kept deep down, can be overwhelming & release in different ways like anger, negative self talk, or something more intense. Let's work together to slowly allow those feelings to release in a secure, safe, and friendly environment.

4/1/24 New Clients Get Started within one week. You want to live joyfully, but deep down you are struggling to feel connected with Jesus. You know the value of praying and reading your Bible, but the numbness is still lingering. While there are days that you see God working in your life, there are times where you feel like you’re just going through the motions. You find it challenging to recognize your worth as God sees you and could use guidance with your thoughts and relationships. "You are fearfully and wonderfully made" sounds beautiful until you actually sit with yourself. Your anxiety might question just how true this is.

My focus as a counselor is to help you find yourself again. It is so easy to get lost in a relationship, job, parenthood, substances and/or life transition. We start to feel disconnected and out of tune with who we are and what we want out of life. We don't need to figure it out on our own, we get to do it together! Through conscious conversation and changing of perspective we can get unstuck and start to feel more connected to ourselves and our world. You deserve to have someone hold space for you and that's what I do.

Sometimes life is so painful that even remembering reasons to stay alive can be very difficult. Life situations, such as grief or traumatic events, can cause day to day functioning to feel insurmountable. Finding coping skills and solutions happens when you have the freedom to talk about anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and suicide with the help of a skilled clinician who is comfortable working with it all -- and who understands, when working with youth, the importance of coaching parents so that they feel prepared to help their child through an emotionally difficult time.

You may be empathic or highly sensitive. You may feel lonely or isolated. You may not feel you're living the life you want. You may have different masks that you put on for different situations or around certain people. Sometimes, you may feel it is hard being you. Just know, none of this means that something is "wrong" with you.

I have experience working individually with children, adolescents, and adults as well as families. I strive to connect with all of my clients on a deep authentic level while fostering a safe and supportive environment. People develop conscious and subconscious strategies of getting through difficult periods of their lives. Frequently, these strategies result in maladaptive behaviors, thought patterns, and interpersonal struggles. Through empathetic connections, nonjudgmental acceptance, and evidence based modalities, we can unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from your goals.

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.
