I especially enjoy working with adolescents and young adults navigating identity development, changing relationships, academic or career pressures, emotional regulation, and major life transitions.
You don’t have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Life transitions, anxiety, relationship stress, self-doubt, or feeling stuck can make it hard to feel connected to yourself. Therapy can be a space to slow down, better understand your patterns, and develop tools that help you move through challenges with more confidence and clarity. I strive to create a warm, collaborative, and authentic environment where you feel supported while also challenged toward growth.

As we grow and face the world, so too grows the number of challenges and responsibilities we face. And with this increase comes the possibility for new anxieties, new depression, and new traumas to arise. Often we can be left feeling unprepared because life rarely gives us a roadmap to dealing with these complex issues. Therapy can be a daunting task, but that doesn't mean it's not a good thing. Seeking help is the first step to starting a positive change and it is only once we embrace that change that we can reach a happier and healthier place.

Are you or your child struggling with anxiety or depression? Many people I work with feel overwhelmed and disconnected from daily life. I help clients implement strategies to alleviate symptoms, recognize and change problematic patterns in thinking and acting, and develop skills to manage life’s inevitable storms. I believe with the right support and tools, we can make intentional changes to create a more satisfying life. I also conduct comprehensive psychological evaluations to provide diagnostic clarity and inform interventions for learning disabilities, ADHD, autism, giftedness, and complex emotional and behavioral challenges.

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.
