My essential approach is rooted in Cognitive-Behavioral and Transformative Psychology. I observe thought and emotion patterns, self-narratives that originate , in childhood, and hard-wired in adulthood, creating depression, anxiety, PTSD symptoms, and obsessional thinking. Clinical studies indicate that conceptual information are minimally effective, because they do not create the necessary experiential and Limbic shift required for long-term breakthroughs. Neurons that wire together will fire together , creating healthy neural wiring, that will result in living a more optimal life, a kinder relationship with Self and others.

I've been a psychotherapist for over 30 years and have found that most relief from psychic pain comes from being kinder and gentler to ourselves. I'm practical, build on strengths, and help people stay focused in the moment to bring about change. Being able to appreciate one's self in the moment is a blessing and a grace often necessary to help us move forward. I work with individuals and couples, teens to seniors.

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.
