I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, and substance use concerns.
Many of my clients have spent much of their lives taking care of others, putting their own needs aside, or feeling responsible for keeping things together. For some, these patterns developed in homes affected by addiction, emotional inconsistency, neglect, or chronic stress. For others, they may stem from difficult relationships, life transitions, or experiences that left them feeling disconnected from themselves.

Suffering is a normal and unavoidable part of human experience. It is our attempt to control or avoid our own painful experiences that can, at times, lead us to suffering beyond what is necessary. If we can learn ways to let go of the struggle to hold onto the pain, while becoming more present in our daily lives, we get move towards the life we say we want.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked extensively with children, teens, and adults, helping them navigate and manage everyday concerns.
First sessions can be awkward, and I’m here to make sure ours isn’t. Clients can expect a warm, conversational atmosphere where we focus on building a solid rapport right out of the gate. We’ll talk through your history, maybe have a little laugh where it's appropriate, and start defining what success looks like for you.

Anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic stress, addiction or life transitions can leave people feeling overwhelmed or stuck. For some, this shows up as irritability, anger, substance use, low motivation, avoidance, or difficulty managing school, work, and relationships. Others may notice feeling on edge, disconnected, or like they are reacting in ways they do not fully understand or want to repeat. This can affect performance, communication, and overall day-to-day functioning, even when someone is trying to manage things on their own.

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.
