Many people spend years carrying responsibilities, managing stress, supporting others, and pushing through difficult circumstances without taking time to care for themselves. Over time, that burden can lead to anxiety, depression, burnout, grief, trauma, relationship difficulties, or a sense of feeling stuck and disconnected. My clients often include veterans, first responders, military families, professionals, and individuals facing major life transitions. They may appear successful on the outside while privately struggling with stress, loss, self-doubt, emotional exhaustion, or unresolved trauma.

I’ll help with feeling of overwhelm & in identifying the root causes of symptom’s.

I enjoy working with adolescents, young adults, and adults experiencing issues relating to sexuality, gender identity, interpersonal relationships, self-esteem, grief, life transitions, depression, anxiety, and trauma.
I currently utilize Person-Centered techniques and a Relational Cultural Theory (RCT) approach.

Clients will learn how to foster real connection in and outside the counseling relationships.

I welcome children, adolescents and adults, who face a range of struggles such as anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma or impactful life transitions.
There are times in our journey where we stop and ask ourselves, “how did I get here?”. As people, we are constantly exploring our growth edges and trying to adapt to the challenges and changes in our lives. Navigating those changes on our own may be frustrating, scary and sometimes leave us feeling unclear and hopeless. No matter where in life you are currently, there is power in asking for help. I want to walk with you to safely explore the past, learn to stay mindful in the present, and work to improve your future. Sometimes the most challenging pieces of our story simply need to be acknowledged before they can be understood.

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.
