I'm an adult, adolescent and child psychologist with a wide range of experience helping people work through life's difficulties. I specialize in humor, warmth and empathy using psychodynamic, mindfulness, cognitive behavioral (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) techniques. Whether it's anxiety, depression, ADHD, sexuality, relationships, or grief and trauma, I use an engaging and direct approach to clarify problems, minimize negative patterns, and ease painful symptoms and situations. A core part of my work is helping people strengthen their capacities for healthy self-reflection and coping, so that their problematic patterns diminish and their creative growth blossoms.

My experiences include but are not limited to working with depression and anxiety, relationship difficulties, issues confronted in early adulthood, substance use/addiction, sexual abuse and trauma, grief, adolescent development, issues around transitioning to college, as well as issues relating to sexual orientation and gender identity.
Sometimes you know exactly what the problem might be, and other times it feels more confusing and elusive. Psychotherapy is a wonderful way to facilitate and enact positive change into your life. My predominant goal is to make you feel safe and supported, so that you can explore and connect your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a productive manner. I believe that past experiences and relationships have a profound impact on our present emotional health and work to explore those experiences using a variety of effective treatment approaches tailored to the individual or couple.

Good therapy works. However, there are often barriers between you and "good therapy." It's hard to find a therapist that is a match, hard to look at your life with honesty, and hard to work on becoming better. I'm a Counseling Psychologist providing psychotherapy to adolescents, adults, and couples. I've worked with a diverse range of clients with all sorts of presenting concerns. I've taught university classes on counseling and completed research on human behavior change.

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.
