There's passion and enthusiasm that comes with being a teen and that's why I love working with teenagers, athletes, young adults, and parents.
From the outside you are this high achieving teenager that meets everyone's expectations. But on the inside, you have anxiety and are silently drowning. You never feel good enough. You feel exhausted constantly worrying about what others think of you and trying to keep afloat. You consistently push your emotions to the side to please others and not disappoint. You are feeling lonely, outgrowing friendships, and feeling guilty wanting more in your friendships. You feel nervous and anxious about making new friends for fear they won't like you. We understand and we are here to help.

In my experience working with both the teen and the parent individually brings the most improvement in the relationship and reduction in the teen's difficulties.
If you are seeking therapy for your teen - you've come to the right place. But first I want to check in with you, the parent. Are you feeling unsure about how to best help your teen? Are you noticing worrisome moods/behaviors but feel unsure how to best support them? Is you high achieving teen struggling under the pressures around balancing academic achievement, extracurricular activities and friend/family relationships? It's not uncommon for teens to experience mood dysregulation, episodes of anxiety, depression, disordered eating or social difficulties. If your teen is struggling, therapy can make all the difference.

As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and supervisor with a decade of experience in private and social service settings, I work closely with children and adolescent youth who've had physical or emotional trauma.
We all want the best for our children: to help them grow and teach them the necessary skills to succeed in life. When we communicate with open ears and conscious hearts, this allows for healthy relationships to build. Effective therapy utilized this approach of open communication in order to foster the growth and development of youth. I strive to help every child feel that they have control over their lives, and offer the necessary skills to be happy, healthy, and to make their own positive decisions.

After sustaining a spinal cord injury leaving me paralyzed and wheelchair-bound at age 15, it felt like my life was over before it began. Following my accident, I experienced first-hand the true power of focusing on what I have, not what I lost. I sought solutions rather than focusing on my problems to conquer my daily challenges.

Spouses- I'm happy to talk with your partner about couples therapy to make it less scary, help them feel heard, and help them get on board. Life can be painful. Therapy doesn't have to be. Many people see therapy as one-sided, with little opportunity for interaction or getting to experience each other as real people. I can promise you that I am as real as it gets! I want to help you achieve the solutions and life changes you are looking for while enjoying the process as much as possible. Calling a therapist can be intimidating, but I hope you will take a moment (and maybe a deep breath) to call and see how I can help.

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.
