Hello! I'm glad you are looking for someone to talk to and maybe I am the right fit for you.
I am comfortable working with many different populations with varying levels of issues.

There are times when we go through life where we appear to be high-functioning on the outside, but on the inside, one may feel stuck-whether emotionally, relationally, or professionally. Perhaps you're struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or a sense of not being "good enough." Whether you are a college student trying to navigate academic pressure or someone balancing roles while silently questioning your worth. And perhaps you've reached a point where you are ready to feel more grounded, connected, and whole with the ability to better manage your own emotions and life's challenges.

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.
