I began my career working with individuals in recovery from substance use disorders, where I came to understand that substance use is often a response to deeper emotional pain rather than the core issue itself. Clients I work with today continue to navigate anxiety, difficult family dynamics, low self-esteem, past trauma, life transitions, and long-standing patterns that no longer serve them.
I am especially passionate about supporting individuals/couples who have been impacted by narcissistic or emotionally complex relationships—experiences that can leave people feeling confused, self-doubting, or emotionally depleted.

You've read every parenting book out there and none of it works. Strict punishments and behavior charts make things worse and yet gentle parenting makes you feel walked all over. Initially perhaps you thought your child would grow out of some of these things or maybe even "forget" something bad that happened but now you are starting to second guess yourself. Something just doesn't seem right with your child and your gut is telling you that professional help is the way to go. And you are right, research shows that early intervention is far more effective than waiting until later in childhood to deal with problems.

You may have already tried some therapy approaches and have some doubt about what therapy can offer children, teens or families.
Mental health challenges are often rooted in stress or trauma. If you or your family/children are dealing with issues such as emotional dysregulation, anxiety, depression, trauma, substance abuse, or chronic pain, we can discuss strategies and solutions. Ups and downs are too often paired with self-defeating patterns of behaviors that deter growth. Too much screen time dopamine? Lack of sleep, hydration or exercise? Feeling socially isolated? If you're overwhelmed, struggling with past problems, or seeking support for yourself or a child with special needs, let's collaborate on practical approaches for positive change.

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.
