The counseling process is an opportunity for people to explore who they are, where they have been, where they want to go, and who they want to become. We often start a counseling journey because we are experiencing emotional pain. My hope is that I can join with you on your healing journey, and that you come to see the journey as a gift. A gift of becoming authentically and transparently you. A gift of healthier, stronger relationships. A gift for living your best life.

You love each other, so why does it feel this hard? Why does every conversation turn into the same fight, shutdown, or distance? I work with couples and individuals stuck in painful relationship patterns, constant conflict, disconnection, or trust issues. Many come in exhausted, repeating the same cycles and unsure how to fix it. Together, we get underneath what’s really driving those patterns, help you communicate in ways that actually land, and create real change so you can feel more connected, secure, and understood, even if you need to attend individually.

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.
