Becoming a mother can be one of the most meaningful and challenging transitions in life. You might be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected from yourself, or grieving that motherhood isn’t what you imagined.

Therapy isn't about becoming someone new, it's about coming home to the person you've always been. No matter how long you’ve struggled with anxiety, low self-worth, relationship challenges or painful life experiences, I don’t believe you are “broken.” Many of the ways we cope were developed to help us survive at one point in our lives. Together, we'll work to understand the patterns that have kept you in survival mode, nurture the self that learned to survive, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that have always deserved to be seen, heard, and cared for.

Come as you are. Move at your pace. Find your way forward. If you feel ready for something deeper than surface-level fixes. If you're tired of simply managing symptoms and want real transformation that honors your whole self. If you've tried quick solutions but are now looking for healing that addresses root causes, not just symptoms. If you want to understand the deeper patterns in your life and relationships, and you're motivated to do meaningful work that leads to lasting change. If you know you deserve support that sees you as a whole person, not just a set of problems to solve. We'll work well together if these statements ring.

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.
