Maybe you feel like you have hit a wall with your partner and aren’t sure how to move forward, or maybe you feel stuck, watching from the sidelines as your child navigates the many challenges of adolescence.

My strengths are working with adolescents, adults, and couples with all kinds of issues and concerns.
Sadly, the intimate partners and the couples in which one or both partners were abused/traumatized are largely ignored. I started an ongoing support/therapy group for the Partners of Complex Trauma Survivors in 1985. I have helped hundreds of partners and couples and trained other therapists to cope with and overcome the negative impacts of trauma/abuse.

As a mental health professional with over 28 years of experience, including 21 years as a licensed clinician, I have never witnessed a more challenging period in society than the past year. Stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, even over-drinking by otherwise non-substance-abusing persons have been rampant among a majority of people. We cannot fix the pandemic at this level. But I have spent this year working with traditionally well-functioning adults who have been struggling amidst the ever-mounting stress and bad news.

I specialize in supporting highly sensitive persons (HSPs), including children with BIG emotions, as well as teens and young adults facing relationship challenges, life transitions, anxiety, and depression.
My passion lies in working with children, young people whose brains are still developing (typically under 25), and parents seeking guidance and support. I believe our core beliefs and emotional patterns are primarily shaped by early attachment, experiences and our environment. Without the right support, these moments can often lead to anxiety, depression or relationship challenges later in life. Whether you're a young person facing difficulties or a parent feeling overwhelmed, you are not alone. It's completely normal to struggle with emotional regulation and expanding your window of tolerance, both on your own or with your child.

Insight isn’t the problem. Your nervous system is still responding like the past is happening now.
Many clients come to therapy feeling frustrated because they understand their patterns — yet still feel stuck repeating them.
That’s because healing doesn’t happen through insight alone.
I specialize in trauma-informed therapy and EMDR, helping clients move beyond analyzing their past and begin changing how their nervous system responds in the present. Together, we focus less on why you feel the way you do and more on how you’re trying to meet your needs — and whether those strategies are truly working for you.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent 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.
