Specialized therapy for women and teen girls. If you are woman, you are likely familiar with stress, anxiety, and emotions that just feel all over the place. Therapy for women and teen girls focuses on helping females cope with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, infertility, and parenting support and coaching for parents who are struggling with how to support their child through the extreme highs and lows of their teen's emotions. After working with teen girls for over a decade I have learned firsthand what challenges teen girls are facing and more importantly what they need to cope, grow, and mature into confident young women.

I have an array of specialities that consist of marriage/family, couple, relationships, infidelity, pre-martial counseling, families with a child(ren) with disabilities, parenting, children, adolescent, adult, male psychological health, women's psychological health, LGBTQ+, sex addiction, trauma, ADHD, personality/mood disorders, depression/anxiety.
I recognize that more often than not, sometimes reaching out is the hardest part. If you have found yourself here, pat yourself on the back! You have conquered the first step! As a mental health professional, I truly believe therapy should never be viewed as a "one size fits all" approach. Along with this ideology, I take great care in personalizing all treatment plans to be just as unique as the individual sitting in front of me. My goal as a therapist is to ensure I am providing each individual/family a safe, comfortable setting and providing the best possible therapeutic interventions to achieve an overall sense of well-being.

As a former teacher, I have a unique perspective on the life of kids and teens, the daily challenges they face and how those challenges impact them.
Being a kid is hard. Being a teenager is hard. Kids and teenagers are facing challenges that generations before them did not face and at the same time facing challenges that are without generation, experiences and challenges that are common developmental human experiences. If you are a kid/ teen that is experiencing anxiety, depression, social pressure, academic pressure, family conflict, fear about the future, or any other life challenge, I can help. If you are a parent of a kid/ teen that is experiencing anxiety, depression, behavioral concerns etc. and looking for outside help, I can help.

Life is full of transitions, and it can be difficult to navigate life changes. Do you feel frustrated, alone, misunderstood, or sad due to family conflict, an unfulfilling romantic relationship, low self esteem, stress, or parenting your children? Relationships can be complicated, and it is disheartening to feel stuck in situations that cause anxiety, sadness, or stress. Tension can build even more if you have a child or teen who is struggling with their behavior or emotions. This can negatively affect school, work, or home life. It takes courage to reach out for professional 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.
