I help women who are over-thinkers, over-planners and high achievers who are on the rise professionally and know that they are struggling personally. It's hard to say no or to slow down out of fear of failure or that you will let someone down. You may ask yourself "How do I succeed without burning out?" I help women understand and resolve the core issue of why they put themselves last so that they can be fulfilled in their personal and professional lives.

I am a licensed clinical professional counselor with almost nine of years of experience serving clients and patients in multiple levels of care including, residential, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and outpatient. Having had needed my own therapist as an adolescent and periodically throughout my adult life, I knew I wanted to pay my own experience forward and provide a space for all who I would see that is welcoming, safe, and empathetically understanding. It is my belief that those three characteristics provide a foundation to therapy for individuals to make profound changes to their life.

This is kind of weird, isn't it, to "shop" for a therapist? I won't try to convince you that I'm the best therapist for you, but I can tell you that I love helping people learn how to help themselves. I worked in therapeutic day schools where I gained experience working with those struggling and/or experiencing ADHD, Autism, grief, trauma, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, and depression. I have since used that experience to work with people of all ages wanting to find peace.

Teen 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.
