Therapy is about change. Many clients come because they are ready to explore how to make necessary or desired changes in their lives. Others reach out because they are experiencing change and need help navigating it. Ideally, clients come to the process open to seeing, thinking and doing things differently. People come to therapy usually because they have done everything they know how to do and they need a different perspective. Anxiety and depression are the most common issues that plague most clients, but everyone has unique ways that they handle their situation, their emotions and their relationships.

I have specialized in working with all the issues surrounding the many phases of being a teenager, and all those who have to buckle up for the bumpy ride, aka the teen years.
WAITLIST ONLY AT THIS TIME. One of my greatest joys in life is watching someone move from a place of pain to a place of growth. I see so many hurting individuals, whether it be a teenager who can't figure out how to deal with the drama, the friendships, the stresses of school, or the changes in their family system to the adult who has lost their will to live or their motivation to make changes in their life. Or maybe it is a whole family system that's hurting, struggling to figure out how to adapt to the changing ages of their kids and all the hurdles that includes, such as communication, discipline, integrating freedom & new rules.

Fort Worth, TX 76114
I have experience counseling clients reporting anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, adolescent adjustment, & relational issues (domestic disagreements, infidelity & sexuality issues).
Are the dynamics of a specific relationship affecting other areas of your life? Or is something personal affecting your important relationships? Because relationships are the building blocks of life, they have the power to affect your happiness & well-being. It seems that creating a balance of love & trust between people in relationships enhances the individuals' hopes for the future of the relationship overall. Couple relationships function best when give & take is balanced & when relational fairness is made a priority. Other family relationships are similar & should also be fair & balanced in how individuals give & take & relate with one another.

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.
