Hi, thanks for taking the time to read my profile. I provide home-based therapeutic services for adults, adolescents and children. In addition, I provide family and couples counseling. My preference is working with families in the comfort of their home while providing insight into family dynamics that might not be as evident in an office setting. My specialty is working with children and families in crisis, such as families struggling with a child with anger issues, ADHD, or emotional issues which may be impacting the family unit or causing problems in school. I also am the program manager for an Equine Assisted Psychotherapy program "Healing Hearts and Broken Spirits" located on a forty acre farm in Western Coventry. For more than twenty years, I have worked with horses. I have researched and studied the impact horses have on adults, adolescents, and children with mental health, behavioral and/or emotional issues. As a result, I have incorporated horses into my sessions with clients. These important sessions may be reimbursable by your health insurance provider if a mental health diagnosis is determined during the initial assessment. Please contact me for further information.

No one is an island. Meeting with a supportive listener can ease the aloneness when more is going on in your life than you feel you can handle. Telling your story in a safe environment is often the key to hearing and understanding yourself more clearly. My goal is to be a compassionate and non-judgmental witness as you find the answers that are most likely already within you.

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.
