I work with people in their late teens or young adulthood primarily, and I can help address both persistent issues you have had for most of your life as well as a temporary adjustment to a difficult situation.
Hello, and thank you for reading my profile! Many of my clients are young adults dealing with life stressors, trauma, or anxiety. It's okay to not be sure what you want out of therapy, and to only know that something is wrong. I want you to feel comfortable and confident in therapy, and I believe this is a collaborative process. We will work together to determine goals and the priorities in treatment. I have some clients achieve their goals in less than 10 sessions, and other clients I have seen for years. Length of treatment depends on your goals and I am happy to accommodate long or short term therapy

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.
