Are you feeling tired, run down, frustrated or hopeless? You're struggling with the never ending challenges and transitions life throws at you. Your plate is so full, you can't possibly take on another thing, yet, here you are...taking on one more thing. You are constantly taking care of others, but your name never makes it to the top of the list. You're sick and tired of being sick and tired. Maybe you're a young adult that is struggling to see the point in life, or maybe you're a parent that is at the end of your rope. You desperately need something to change...but what?

It's alright if you don't like me. I just want you to be okay. If making you FEEL better means enabling you to continue behaviors that can take away your ability to BE better, I'm not interested. You don't need a friend or a cheerleader. You need an advocate who will stand up against the one person who has consistently gotten in your way and also holds the power to make changes to get you to a good outcome! Hint: It's you. I'd rather you tell me off and be truly content than to think I'm nice but stay in the rough spot you're in that led you to seek out help in the first place.

'Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, courage is that quiet voice at the end of the day saying, 'I will try again tomorrow.' Dealing with life's challenges requires a great amount of strength and courage. Whether for you or your child, sometimes the most courageous act of all is asking for someone to help you during the difficult times. My hope is to be this person for you as your therapist. Collaborating together in a non-judgmental environment, I will work to provide you with the support, empathy, and tools needed to take those first steps towards change.

Insanity is repeatedly doing the same thing, yet expecting different results. Ironically, someone living with chronic stress uses the same strategy. Hoping their "I'll get through this somehow" attitude will make the stress go away. Symptoms such as anxiety and depression, trouble sleeping, growing impatience and anger with others, trouble concentrating and making decisions, secretly feeling bad about oneself, guilty and resentful are all indicators one is out of balance. Let me help you remove this distress before it results in health issues. I have years of successful experience teaching clients powerful interventions to transform stress into personal empowerment.

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.
