I offer individual, adolescent, and couple therapy.
Navigating through life's challenges can be difficult, whether in relationships with others or with yourself. Past events and unresolved hurts sometimes keep us "stuck" in a cycle of suffering, shame, or guilt. Therapy can help. I work with people who want to heal and learn to create a life they love and form relationships that nourish them. There is power in identifying obstacles affecting you, and healing wounds are possible. Therapy can help bring clarity, hope, understanding, and meaning to your journey.

I work with individuals who want to understand themselves better. In our chaotic world, often there isn't enough time to think about ourselves: who we are, what we believe and how we want our life to unfold. I believe change happens when we go back to the past to understand what contributed to forming us into the person we are today. Then we can make changes in the present so the past no longer dictates our actions, and we can move forward with confidence. I have 20 years of experience working with trauma of all kinds, depression and anxiety.

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.
