I believe in meeting you where you are at emotionally--whatever is the most pressing issue on your heart, there we can begin the work together. By doing so, I hope to companion you in your journey from surviving to thriving. I believe that we, as humans, can learn from yesterday, live for today, and hope for tomorrow. Emotional pain can be both a terrible and terrific teacher. With developing coping skills and techniques, painful experiences can foster resiliency and character to help us survive and thrive.

I work with adolescents and young adults navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, and identity development.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming—but it can also be the beginning of meaningful change. I strive to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and genuinely understood, while also making room for humor and authenticity along the way.

I enjoy working with teens, young adults, women and men to assist them in their growth and development.
This might feel like a difficult first step in getting yourself the help you want and need. It is never easy prioritizing YOU when everything around you seems to be falling apart. I would like to help you on your journey to self-actualization, towards the person you are truly meant to be and towards the person you always knew you were. This therapeutic journey is about discovering and exploring together, as a team, which direction you want to go. As the driver, you will direct the sessions, but as the passenger, I will be there to assist and guide you 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.
