As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, I have spent the majority of my training working with children/ adolescent and young adult populations.
My treatment approach is based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), though I often implement different approaches which allow for further exploration of the tie between thoughts and feelings. Additionally, I work from a strength-based perspective to help the client identify ways in which they are succeeding rather than focusing solely on the “problems.”

I have encountered a range of adolescent and adult challenges ranging from mental health and trauma to writer’s block and wellness.
My informal education as a recovering addict is as much a part of my practice as my master's degree. I have had the opportunity and privilege to work with a broad spectrum of people on an equally broad range of challenges. I believe my experience gives me the perspective necessary to meet each client where they are.

I strive to provide a nonjudgmental, validating, and empathetic approach to therapy by fostering an environment in which my patients and I can work collaboratively, while supporting them alongside their journey of growth, and reaching their goals. Theoretically, I work through the humanistic lens, but I recognize that therapy is a unique process and other therapeutic approaches may be used at times to best meet the needs of the patient. I provide a warm, safe, and humorous environment to meet patients where they are at, in order for them to feel unconditionally accepted and supported as they begin their therapeutic journey.

It takes great courage to come to therapy, and the most important part of being a clinician is the therapeutic relationship I develop with my clients. I provide a space for individuals to feel safe, supported, and empowered to be their authentic selves. I utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities including: Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy.

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.
