Have you tried talk therapy with little to no success? As a certified EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) therapist, I can help.

I will walk you through this type of therapy- no need to worry about knowing "what to do" or that it will be too serious. We'll do the hard work plus have fun doing it.

I feel that adolescents have their entire future in front of them, and it is the most opportune time to learn positive thinking patterns, coping skills, and life strategies. Teenagers are at a pivotal point in their lives, facing many large life decisions. Having a neutral person to be open with in life is invaluable.

Every human does better when we feel connected to others and to ourselves. Put simply, connection is the compilation of three basic elements: knowing we are seen, heard, and that we matter. I was introduced to this concept when watching an interview with Maya Angelou, just before I began my graduate program to become a therapist. Since that time, I have heard many others share the same message… Oprah, Brene Brown, Johann Hari, and countless others that have studied, researched, and understand the tie that binds us all. When we feel better, we do better, right?
