I love to help clients improve their self-acceptance and learn to love themselves. I especially enjoy working with late-identified neurodivergent adults, addressing concerns with relationships, self-esteem, and identity - as these concerns frequently coexist with autism, ADHD and OCD. Topics that often come up when I work with clients include: identifying unmet needs, challenging perfectionist mindsets, redefining how you see yourself, and exploring alternative strategies for getting your needs met.

Relationships can bring out the best and the worst in us: at times, leaving us feeling like our best selves; at others, like the dirt on the floor. Depression, anxiety, and other mental health symptoms can manifest as we attempt to cope with these relational injuries: trauma, loss, rejection, abandonment, and exile from the ones we love, maybe even our very selves. Painful patterns built with loved ones can be difficult to change, yet within these conflicts our longings emerge to guide new patterns of growth.

I can meet an ideal client where they are at. Despite potential ambivalence toward counseling, they are somebody who is willing to put the work in and open themselves up to inner self examination. They are able to somewhat articulate their goals for treatment; even if they don’t know what they personally want to gain through the experience of counseling, they are open to the possibility of learning what that may be. The ideal client has acknowledged distress in their life or difficulty functioning day-to-day.

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.
