You’ve been holding it together for years—at work, at home, or in your relationships—but lately it feels like the wheels are coming off.

You want to stop just getting by and start living with balance, confidence, and purpose. If you’re ready for things to finally change, I can help you get there.

When life and relationships create unsettling challenges, people tend to rely on unhealthy, learned emotional reactions and thought patterns. By creating a safe, non-judgmental environment in therapy, I can help you identify these destructive emotions and thought processes, while consciously redirecting them into a mindfully positive, rational perspective to decrease emotional distress, reduce life and family conflicts, and stressors.

I serve adolescents, youth, and adults, and specifically work with patients who have depression, anxiety, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADD, ADHD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), mood disorders, grief and bereavement, life adjustments, self-esteem, self-image, suicidal ideations, non suicidal self injurious behavior, family and relationship dysfunction, and more.
I believe that active listening is the gateway of exploring deeply rooted issues. My approach to counseling seeks to help patients examine and understand the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behavior choices. Understanding the interplay between these three facets of human experience often provides the key to healthy functioning.

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.
