Your teen walks in, drops the backpack, and shuts the door. Something in you knows the shrug isn't the whole story. Behind the one-word answers and the flares of attitude is a kid who feels invisible, certain no one truly sees what they're going through. They overthink every text, every look in the hallway, and every way tomorrow could go wrong. They may be battling anxiety, anger, sadness, and self-doubt while trying to hold it together. In the quiet they wonder, "What's wrong with me?" They need a safe place to be themself, make sense of what they’re feeling, and discover that things really can get better.

My view of the psychoanalytic process encompasses the developmental nature of our life - of our present and past experiences. Through our communication, we work toward the discovery of one’s independence, creativity, and individuality - that is, becoming a person. The goal with children and with adolescents is to restore them to the path of normal development. A developmental approach is utilized in assessment and planning. The therapeutic time may include play, talk, and meeting with parents. Parental involvement is crucial to the outcome of the endeavor.

Individual therapy, whether with adults or adolescent clients, must truly be individual in my mind - a unique experience that really depends on the nature and reason the person is there to see me. My training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is only one part of my approach due to my varied and eclectic background. I respect and value the research based approach of CBT and its goal to teach clients how to interpret and deal with various aspects of their environment, but my training as an attorney and my role with the FBI also influences my approach to clients.

The weight of living a double life is starting to feel suffocating - like you’ve been holding your breath for years, waiting for the moment everything caves in. Every interaction has you calculating what to cover up and what could give you away. Living under that pressure has left you drained and anxious. Pretending has become second nature, but it’s getting harder to pretend you don’t feel completely alone. I help women struggling with issues related to their work in the adult industry, romantic relationships, or a secret they’ve been keeping to break free from shame and take back their power. Exhale, we’re in this together now.
