Adolescence is a time of rapid growth, identity exploration, and emotional ups and downs. I specialize in helping teens navigate the unique challenges they face—whether it’s anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflict, or the pressures of school and social life. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to meet each adolescent where they are. I believe that with the right support, every teen has the potential to build confidence, resilience, and a stronger sense of self.
In our work together, I provide a safe, supportive space where teens can express themselves openly and learn healthy coping strategies. Therapy is a partnership, and I’m here to help your child gain insight, manage difficult emotions, and develop tools for long-term emotional health.
At Harmony Bay, we believe healing happens in connection—with ourselves, our families, and our communities. Whether your teen is struggling with mental health challenges or simply needs extra support navigating life, we’re here to help them grow, heal, and discover their strengths.
