I have a flair for helping people achieve positive change in their lives. The journey to emotional wellness can be painful and challenging, so I make a strong effort to be encouraging and supportive throughout the process. Hurt, pain, and anger do not define who we are; rather, they open emotional pathways, signaling the need and time for change. Depression often reflects the depth of personal disruption, so when appropriate, I offer advice to validate feelings, encourage healing, and dismantle irrational thinking.

You may appear capable and composed on the outside, yet feel anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally drained inside. Many of my clients are thoughtful adults who are used to managing on their own, but feel stuck, disconnected, or weighed down by experiences or patterns that have become harder to carry, even when things “should” be fine.

My approach to therapy is conversational in style. Over my more than 25 years of practice, I have found that interaction enhances the energy level in the room and builds a strong relationship between my client and myself. I offer a good deal of feedback and it is in this give and take that we define the vital issues confronting a person. This relationship is a therapeutic alliance, a conversation between two people interacting as equal members of a team, to achieve the goals that have been set. This therapeutic alliance is the foundation for all the work that we do.

Feeling overwhelmed by daily life and the weight of responsibilities and stress can be tough. Sometimes we wonder if our emotions and feelings are just a part of typical life transitions.

I believe therapy isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach, but rather a personalized path to finding what works best for each individual. We’ll work together, and maybe even have some fun along the way.

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.
