I have experience with children, teens, and adults with behavioral issues, ADHD, Autism, Anxiety, Depression, and Trauma. I have experience w/ caregiver burnout and chronic health issues. I am currently only seeing adults but will take teen clients on a case by case basis. I am especially passionate about helping parents develop skills to help support their children with difficult behaviors. I work with clients at their own pace and help them establish and meet goals in order to address the concerns they bring to the table. My goal is to help clients develop healthier ways of coping with difficult situations both past and present.

Let's face it, raising teenagers is hard. No one prepares you for the day to day emotional challenges that come with caring for your teen. I will also tell you a little secret, it is also hard being a teen. Adolescence is a time where teens are figuring out who they are, where they fit in, all while trying to balance raging hormones and the never ending pressure to be someone else. Whether you are the parent struggling to communicate better with your teen, or the teen trying to navigate your burgeoning independence, my hope is to provide a warm space where healing and restoration can begin.

As a former teen who didn't share emotions with adults, I hold a deep value in relationship building in hopes that even the most hesitant of teens gains an adult with whom to discuss life.
I became a therapist because I believe that every person is worthy of a life lived fully as themselves. For most of us, at some point, life experiences get in the way of feeling our best, but healing is possible when we have a safe place to process those experiences. I strive to be that safe place for every person who enters my office. I offer EMDR and specialize in working with trauma, anxiety, and depression, but also know that sometimes in life, we just feel a little off. Wherever you are in life's journey, I'd be honored to journey with 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.
