I specialize in couples counseling and parenting consultations with an emphasis on adolescent and teen issues. I accept no individual as the problem. Instead, I use my clinical experience to help uncover what is truly happening in your everyday interactions. Together we discover why conflict happens in your relationship(s) and then arm you with new understandings, perspectives and strategies to address it when it does.

My specialty is grief & loss of all kinds, including bereavement, loss of health (chronic & terminal illness), loss of a beloved pet, retirement, and moving away from home (and other teen/young adult issues).
My approach to therapy is humanistic and strengths-based. I work with my clients to discover past and present successes and use these to address the challenges they face. I also use elements of narrative therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients recognize that the person is not the problem; the problem is the problem. I am trained in relaxation techniques, including hypnotherapy. I am so fortunate that people choose to share their stories and their lives with me.

When something is painful or disturbing, it leaves a lasting impression that continues to affect the way you think, feel and act. By eliminating the ongoing influence of past events through Rapid Resolution Therapy, healing occurs and change is automatic. If you have been unable to successfully change how you feel or act, it is likely that you are being affected by experiences from your past. You may consciously understand the value of changing a behavior, but unless your deeper mind is transformed, change is not likely.

Searching for a therapist takes courage. Finding the right fit takes often some work and a bit of luck. However, when the relationship between the patient and therapist goes well, the results can be life-changing. Therapy can empower people to see themselves and others more clearly. This can lead to deepened relationships, symptom relief, and a more hopeful outlook.

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.
