Parenting is hard, but you don't have to do it alone. Being burnt out at home and struggling to know how to connect with your neurodivergent child can be more isolating than most people might understand. It can feel overwhelming to know how to respond when both communication and behavioral issues erupt all at once, and traditional approaches aren't working. Your love for your child and desire to see their unique gifts shine while creating family harmony can sometimes make it all even more painful.

I have experience working with children/ adolescents in various settings (Outpatient Therapy, Day Treatment), Group Homes as well as Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility (PRTF).
It takes a lot of courage to seek help due to the stigmas that are often associated with receiving counseling services and getting assistance with your mental health. I applaud you for taking the first step! I have had the opportunity to work a diverse group of individuals over the course of the past 15 years. One of the most important things I’ve learned is that there is no cookie-cutter, one size fits all approach to counseling. I prefer to get to know you as an individual, and not just categorizing or summing you up based on the challenges or behaviors that you’re currently facing or challenged with.

I offer individual therapy, couple/relationship therapy, and psychological evaluations for adults and adolescents.
If you are thinking about calling a therapist, you might be feeling stuck, facing a crisis, or simply running out of ideas for handling your situation. In therapy, you will be able to talk about what is bothering you in a confidential setting. By taking time to thoroughly understand what is going on, what has helped, what hasn't, and how you want things to be different, therapy can help you make meaningful changes in your life. If you are dealing with issues related to anxiety, depression, trauma, personality, or identity (e.g., LGBTQIA+), I welcome you to reach out by phone or this secure contact form: forms.gle/Pq6g82hA9Y5c6DeMA

Your childhood wasn’t exactly idyllic. What should have been a safe, stable, and joyful time was instead dangerous, unpredictable, and terrifying. You learned to stay quiet, not take up space, and be the “good kid,” often compensating for your parents’ deficiencies. You learned to rely solely on yourself – after all, you didn’t have other options. Now, as an adult, your mind and body still react as if danger is everywhere. You’re either hypervigilant (worried all the time) or completely dissociated (checked out). The trauma that took place 10, 20, or even 30 years ago still torments you. You’re ready to move on and be free.

You’ve spent years pushing through, holding it together, and trying to meet expectations that never seemed made for you. You’ve gotten good at masking – showing up, performing, and keeping it all together on the outside all while feeling overstimulated, disconnected, or utterly drained on the inside. Maybe you’ve only recently learned that you’re neurodivergent, and suddenly, so much of your past makes sense. It’s like you never got the life manual everyone else got. Still, you’re unsure how to unlearn habits that kept you safe but now leave you burned out and isolated. You’re ready to understand yourself beyond just surviving.

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.
