Clients that have said I am exactly what they have been searching for are adults and couples who look “fine” but feel exhausted, on edge, stuck, or alone inside. They come in for trauma healing, couples conflict and disconnection, recovery from narcissistic abuse or betrayal, high-functioning adult ADHD overwhelm, and burnout from carrying too much. You may be overthinking, walking on eggshells, shutting down, snapping, or doubting yourself. My team and I use a warm, trauma-informed, evidence-based approach (EMDR, attachment work, skills) to calm the nervous system, rebuild trust, strengthen boundaries, and create real change.

Currently accepting new clients! I know life can be really challenging at times. We start by trying to figure it out on our own, but sometimes feel stuck and don't see how things can get better. Many people reach out to their friends and family for support, which is a good start. But sometimes even they aren’t equipped to give us the help we need, or maybe we don’t feel comfortable to talk about what we’re going through with them.

I work collaboratively with adults struggling from depression, trauma, and/or anxiety. Feelings of hopelessness, knowing that you are all alone, and being terrified that your life has no purpose.

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.
