It takes strength to get on here and look for a therapist. Regardless of whether you’re trying to work through a problem, grow as a person or couple, or just need someone to listen, seeking therapy means seeking change – and I think that takes guts! No matter what we’re discussing, my focus is always on seeing your world as you see it – because I believe that real healing begins when we have a compassionate and non-judgmental space in which we can freely express ourselves and feel understood.

If you're here right now, I understand the tremendous weight you may be carrying due to the experiences you've endured. I want you to know that you are not alone in this journey. I'm so sorry you're going through the aftermath of trauma and facing the unique challenges that come with it. Coping with trauma symptoms can be incredibly difficult, especially when combined with navigating cultural complexities. Please know that I am here to offer you understanding, compassion, and support as we work together to heal and grow. Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or uncertain after enduring trauma is entirely common.

I believe therapy should increase contentment in life, self-knowledge, acceptance and mindfulness of others, including the impact of their actions. Throughout our lives, we all deal with challenges that can negatively affect what is most important to us, such as relationships, family or job. I work with my clients to help them become more self-aware so that they look at situations differently, are more reflective about the thoughts their experiences evoke and as a result, the actions they take. Modifying choices we make in our thoughts or actions decreases the distress we experience, a primary reason why we seek therapy.

You matter! This tenet is central to the work. For 20 years, this is what I have been passionate about helping folx to realize, intellectually and actually in their day-to-day lives. Life is a series of events (great and small), associated emotions, and responses. These make up our diverse lived experiences. But how do we make sense of them? For some, how do we recover from them to go on to live the lives we desire? In the past, I have also worked with families and groups. These days, I find beauty in continuing to work with individuals to co-create a safe-enough space for clients to explore vulnerability and find their voices.

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.
