I work with teens and adults who struggle to move forward because of past traumas or negative life events.
Traditional talk therapy hasn’t been enough. You want to feel more like yourself, but find yourself stuck in cycles of overthinking, anxiety, self-criticism, or not feeling good enough. Even though you’re highly motivated to change, old patterns feel hard to shift, especially when stress, overwhelm, or past experiences keep getting in the way.
Many of my clients come in feeling overextended, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from themselves and their relationships. They’re often juggling a lot and want more than temporary relief. They want to create new patterns and lasting change.

Your body remembers what your mind tries to forget. Complex trauma lives in your nervous system and can show up as that constant feeling of being "too much" or "not enough," deep shame and difficulty with food. Whether you're caught in cycles of disordered eating, battling perfectionism, people pleasing, overfunctioning or feeling disconnected from your own body, there's a reason these patterns developed. Your survival strategies made sense then, but they're stealing your peace now. Freedom from disordered eating and CPTSD symptoms isn't about willpower. It's about healing the deeper wounds that keep you trapped in old patterns.

Certified in Prolonged Exposure and Prolonged Exposure- Adolescent for PTSD.
Do you find yourself people-pleasing, over functioning for others, or holding yourself to impossibly high standards?

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.
