In addition to obtaining my Master's degree in Counseling, I have experience working with teenagers and adults as a coach and a mentor both individually and in a small group setting.
Whether you have been dealing with an issue for years or if it is something that has recently surfaced, counseling can be beneficial in addressing the problem. Counseling provides a non-judgmental environment with encouragement to explore the source of the presenting problem and work towards a greater well-being. I enjoy working with adolescent teens through middle-aged individuals and couples on a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, anger management, relationship issues, mood disorders, coping skills, and self-esteem.

My specialty and passion is working with men ( adolescent & adult) that are struggling with a wide range of issues; in particular, identity issues/crises, life transitions, codependence, difficulty with relationships, and/or anxiety/depression.

In addition to my area of specialization, I also enjoy working with family systems (adult & adolescent) that desire a spiritual focus in their relational growth but find themselves stuck in communication, connection and/or commitment.

Asking for help shows your strength. You are navigating life’s challenges and you don’t have to do it alone. You find yourself constantly grappling with thoughts that spin endlessly, making you feel stuck in survival mode and never quite good enough. Your relationships or family dynamics seem strained, leaving you yearning for meaningful connections and a renewed sense of self. On top of that, the pressures of your career or feelings of imposter syndrome add to your stress, making it hard to find balance. Despite trying to improve and move forward, you feel like you're always battling the same issues without making real progress.

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.
