We see children, teens and adults, in all types of counseling - individual, couple/marital, and family.
With a trauma-focused background, there is virtually nothing I haven't encountered. Everyone's story is rich with color, and every client has personal strengths; however, many have lost the ability to see their strengths and are focusing on what is "wrong." Job satisfaction is finding the best in everyone, and encouraging them to see the best in themselves.

Together we can discover strategies to get unstuck and heal.

I'm experienced in supporting tweens, teens, and adults with emotional regulation, anxiety, and growing confidence in their own strengths.
Focusing on emotions is important, because emotions are clues to our needs and our values. Feelings aren't facts and they can't rule our lives, but they can give us a road map to better communication and goal-setting. Becoming mindful of emotions, and teaching mindful coping skills, is an essential part of my practice.

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.
