I specialize (love) working with adolescents and their families. My style is direct, compassionate, and authentic. When appropriate, I share my lived experiences, and both teens and adults have told me how beneficial they found it. Clients have told me they liked that I "challenge" them and that it's helpful when I say things directly. This can especially be beneficial in family sessions when hard conversations need to be had. The word "specialize" can be thrown around a lot. But what I have the most experience in is: depression, anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, suicide, self-harm, and family work.
The relationship between the client and therapist has a significant effect on outcomes, including whether goals are met. Teens meeting a therapist once a week for 50 mins can mean that building that true rapport can take almost a year! I take a personalized approach to each teen client to build rapport more quickly and ethically. Ask me for more info!
My practice is a safe place for everyone! If you are interested in learning more about my services, please email me for a free 15-minute consultation call. I take clients in FL virtually and in Ybor City, Tampa. I can see clients virtually in Vermont, but cannot take private insurance in VT, only Medicaid in VT.
