I have had many years' experience working with troubled adolescents and their families, using a combination of individual and family therapy.
I think of therapy as a compassionate collaboration. Clients and I form a partnership in which we work together to not only change behavior, but to understand why we continue to make the same mistakes. We also develop a "roadmap" to avoid future problems by learning to spot "red flags" that may trigger old behaviors. Learning new coping skills and strengthening old ones are an intregal part of this process.

I treat a variety of mental health issues and diagnoses with adolescents and adults.
Over the course of the lifespan, we naturally experience higher and lower periods, a mild roller-coaster that ebbs and flows as we grow. In addition to life’s natural roller-coaster, many encounter depression, heightened anxiety, or traumatic experiences that cause greater difficulties in life. Therapy is for both the natural ebbs and flows of life to assist with helpful coping strategies to encounter the changes that life brings and for those who are experiencing greater mental health difficulties.

Feeling stuck despite insight? Let’s work with what’s actually blocking change.
I work with thoughtful, self-aware adults who understand their patterns but still feel stuck, or who sense there is something deeper going on but are not sure how to access it yet. On the outside, things may look stable. Internally, something feels off. Patterns repeat, change does not stick, and relief feels out of reach. I help you understand and work through the deeper emotional patterns driving these cycles so you can experience more clarity, freedom, and meaningful change.

I specialize in adult and adolescent Autism and ADHD evaluations, often for people seeking a second opinion after a misdiagnosis.
I understand masking and subtle forms of Autism and ADHD, especially in women and high achievers who have to compensate. The core of the evaluation is an extensive, conversational interview where we explore your traits in the context of your life. I focus on your internal experience, not how you appear in the moment. How would it feel to finally be believed?

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.
