Quality of life is everyone's right, so let's work to get you there.

I see you! I hear you! I’m here for you! A lot of times life throws so much that you can feel broken, ineffective, and hopeless. The world tells you to be a certain way, but not how to be that way or worse, it doesn't make space for you to safely just be yourself. These feelings often build and can manifest as things like depression, anxiety, low self esteem, etc. And this doesn’t even take into account any traumas in your life. The process of looking for a therapist can be an intimidating thing, I know from personal experience, so I applaud you for making it this far. Let’s take the next steps together.

However, if you are ready and willing to give therapy a try, with me as your guide, improvement, insight, and better outcomes may come.

We all experience anxiety and depression at times. But sometimes those feelings can be overwhelming. Talking with a therapist can help. I take a client-centered approach to support my clients as I collaborate with them to gain insight into their response to stressors. I use Cognitive and Dialectical behavior therapies and Brief- and Solution-Focused therapies to help my clients make adjustments in their day-to-day lives and to build their mood self regulation and coping skills. The goal is to feel better!

“You are doing your best at your current level of awareness.” Yet, you feel stuck, lost, and that your best isn't good enough. In your relationship, you wonder where things went wrong and why you and your partner aren't communicating the way that you used to. As a parent, you question whether you're actually doing what's best for your child, and feel guilty when the results of your parenting aren't as you planned. At work, you feel anxious and burned out. No matter what you do, you're still stressed out and overwhelmed with endless expectations and responsibilities. You know what's good for you, yet coping skills don't seem to work.

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.
