I have worked with adults of all ages, adolescents, and college students struggling to manage depression, anxiety, ADHD, loss, trauma, and stress, as well as relationship concerns and more.
In the first session, I will work with clients to identify the stressors, problems and challenges that are causing distress. I have learned to use many types of therapy but most often use Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy, Person Centered Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I use a trauma informed approach.

If you live with anxiety, depression, or struggle with grief you may be used to pushing through your days while feeling tense, overwhelmed, or stuck in your own thoughts. On the outside, you might appear capable and composed, while internally your mind feels busy, your body feels on edge, or it’s hard to fully relax. In therapy, we will slow things down. We will create a safe space to understand what your mind is trying to communicate and learn ways to respond to it with more ease and compassion. The goal isn’t to eliminate anxiety, depression or grief, but to help it feel more manageable so it no longer runs your life.

In my years of clinical experience, I have learned that unhealed trauma from the past often re-emerges as new wounds in the present—regardless of age or life stage. These patterns can feel confusing or overwhelming, often showing up in ways that seem unrelated to their origin. Healing these wounds is some of the most important and transformative work a person can undertake, as unresolved trauma inevitably affects all relationships—familial, marital, professional, and societal.

One partner wants more sex; the other has shut down. You love each other, but you’re caught in a painful cycle of rejection and withdrawal that feels impossible to resolve alone. I specialize specifically in mismatched desire (desire discrepancy) and have spent years developing frameworks to help couples understand the root causes of this gap. My goal is to help you move through the resentment and unspoken hurt to rebuild a sexual connection that actually works for both of you. If a libido gap is pulling your relationship apart, I provide the clinical and relational structure to get you un-stuck.

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.
