College and young adulthood often brings it's own challenges and growing into the happy, confident, and independent person, parent, and student is easier with support. It is important to find the right therapist for you, no mater life's season.

It’s an honor to walk alongside my clients as they navigate the path toward healing, self-discovery, and meaningful change.

Richard Schwartz, the founder of Internal Family Systems (IFS), once said, “All parts are welcome.” My mission is to create a space where you can embrace every aspect of yourself—without fear or judgment—while also feeling empowered to grow into the version of yourself you strive to be.

One of the biggest challenges we face as human beings is not just our problems themselves, but the fear of confronting them. This fear can be deeply rooted in our past experiences, emotions, behaviors, and cultural perspectives. Too often, it holds us back from reaching out for help—whether due to uncertainty, fear of being truly heard, or wondering if anyone genuinely cares. Creating a supportive environment built on empathy, unconditional positive regard, and acceptance allows the clients I work with to feel safe as they work through their 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.
