To the outside world, you're seen as a pretty together person who's hard-working, accomplished and self-sufficient. When life get's tough, you buck up, soldier on, & "never let 'em see you bleed." You bottle up your pain and keep a tight lid on it. But, behind this exterior, you're actually hanging on by your fingertips. The stress on your shoulders is unbearably heavy & you're overwhelmed, stressed-out, and you feel like you're drowning under the pressure of it all. You're pain is silent, but your suffering is real and it's taking a toll on your health, productivity and your relationships with others.

I have been working with kids, teens, and young adults with anxiety disorders and OCD since 2022.
Watching your child struggle with anxiety can leave you feeling helpless. You’re torn between giving in to their pleas to skip school or pushing them to go anyway. And at night, you’re a part of a long evening routine that if you try to shorten, your child breaks down, fearing something bad will happen. Do you walk away and ignore the crying, or continue the routine, sometimes stretching it for hours? The agony of watching your child’s pain, knowing how desperately you want to help but feeling powerless, is a weight you carry every day.

I am happy to work with clients of all backgrounds and with a diverse range of concerns. My current primary clientele include members of the LGBTQIA+ community, couples/polycules, and folks struggling with anxiety, depression, body image and body dysmorphia concerns, self-esteem, and general relational issues. Since I work exclusively through telehealth (online audio/visual), I do require clients to be at least 12 years of age as I've found younger folks struggle to maintain attention for very long when using online therapy.

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.
