I’ve worked in many colorful and exciting fields and alongside many incredible people, both clients and teammates: I most recently served as a counselor with the state's Division of Vocational Rehabilitation. I've practiced within the community (Madison, WI) as a case manager and a forensic mental health counselor for approximately 4 years - helping folks that had severe and persistent mental illnesses navigate their wellness and the courts. Since then, I have worked with a very broad range of clients. The most important aspect of any client-provider relationship is rapport, and above all, that is the metric that is paramount to me.

Many people come to therapy feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or like something is out of balance.

I believe the ways we cope often develop for a reason—they reflect our attempts to navigate life's challenges and the environments that have shaped us. Together, we explore your experiences as a whole, creating space for understanding, self-compassion, and new possibilities.

My goal as a therapist is not to tell a client what they need to do but instead to help them problem-solve their situation and come up with their own solution. I am then able to provide the client with the assistance, guidance and support necessary in order for them to achieve their self-designed successful outcome.

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.
