Welcome! I love working with people who have experienced trauma, chronic health issues, and significant grief and loss. Maybe you frequently ask "why me" or feel like no one is hearing what you're trying to say. Progress in grief work may be working up the courage to have that difficult conversation with your loved one, making it through the day without breaking down more than once, or getting out of bed and taking care of your most simple tasks. I enjoy working with any adult or teen whose experience of their grief feels too heavy to carry alone, and who may not know where to start to feel better.

I believe that change—though often challenging and uncomfortable—is the one constant in life that brings about true growth. It’s natural to want to avoid discomfort, but leaning into these moments of uncertainty is where transformation begins. I hold the belief that everyone has an innate capacity for change and resilience, no matter what life throws their way.

Do you feel overwhelmed or hopeless? Do you feel stuck or trapped in your own life? Do you sometimes wonder how you can keep going without drowning? I have worked with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, acute psychosis, self-harm, and suicidal ideation. What I've learned is that so often folks navigate their problems alone. Yet, when they talk about their life and their feelings with a safe listener, they are able to find the skills they need to cope with so much more than they thought.

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.
