Hello, I am Tonya! I am excited you are reading my bio. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, school-based mental health professional, clinical supervisor, wife, and mother of 2. I work with children, adolescents, and parents who need support in navigating the day-to-day and set goals for a fulfilling life.

You're a teen or young adult who struggles with irritability. You don’t enjoy the things you used to enjoy. You see yourself as a disappointment. You believe no one understands, so you hold your real feelings deep inside and withdraw from others.

The ideal client seeks self-actualization and improved self-relationships. They grapple with negative thoughts stemming from past experiences, hindering their growth. Their goal is to overcome these obstacles, forge their unique identity, and cultivate self-love. They yearn to break free from the shackles of self-doubt, embracing authenticity and inner harmony. By guiding them through trauma-focused CBT, Interpersonal Therapy and EMDR, I empower them to confront their past, reshape their narrative, and foster resilience. Ultimately, they aspire to lead fulfilling lives, grounded in self-acceptance and genuine connections.

We have all been there, contemplating the next move and where to steer ourselves during life transitions (i.e., such as going off to school, getting married, having children, or end of life decisions). You are probably feeling lost and overwhelmed. Life inevitability is a series of transitions and often ones with minimal ceremony or void of an instruction manual on how to proceed. In my years working as a therapist, I have adopted an existential and narrative approach in helping others traverse these life transitions. Much of our therapeutic work would be focused on developing the courage to author the life you wish to have.

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.
