Evening and weekend appointments now available. Life can create constriction and panic within us and our relationships. This is uncomfortable, and we react by disconnecting and avoiding. When we feel scared or alone, that is our body telling us to listen up and pay attention. Something is about to happen. My clients call me because they are emotionally restricted, disconnected, grief-bound, have communication challenges, and are facing major life transitions, such as marriage, divorce, or parenting strains. They just want to figure out how to move forward and feel better. Learning how to respond proactively but calmly, can be done.

Today our complicated and fast-paced lives are full of pressures that challenge us in countless ways. "How can I find happiness in my marriage?", "How do I cope with...?", and "Why do I feel so out of control?" are some of the questions I hear from clients seeking to understand their life journey and questioning what they can do to reach their true potential - individually, as a couple, or as a family. Soul searching is rarely an easy path to take, yet wanting to achieve an emotionally healthy life is usually the motivator which begins the process.

I'm here to help you be successful and find the best ways to manage any current and future stressors. Sometimes we need to reevaluate the lens through which we view our own lives. Just like glasses can get scratched and worn over time, the way we view the world is impacted by our past experiences. Counseling is an opportunity to have someone help you see where your experiences may be negatively impacting your view of the world. It can help you identify what you're feeling, why you're feeling it and how to cope with it.

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.
