"Instructions for living a life. Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it"-Mary Oliver. Finding a therapist you feel comfortable telling about your life, obstacles you may be facing, or areas where you desire to change can feel daunting. I strive to build a collaborative relationship with you/your child to understand your struggles, help you gain insight about issues that may be beyond your awareness, and provide you with tools and skills that will help you/your child manage emotions, and work through life’s challenges. My approach is integrative and flexible, with the use of strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy.

The quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives. You might feel like you were once a happy couple, but now don’t want to be alone with each other. You can’t solve a disagreement respectfully and feel stuck in a pattern.

My understanding of how overwhelming therapy can be for some, and my empathy and listening skills can help put my clients at ease. I utilize a collaborative approach as you are the best expert on you! Sessions are a warm and trusted place to be. I utilize an eclectic approach to therapy and often seek training in other modalities. My therapeutic orientations are Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered, Play Therapy, and Sand Tray. I've also been trained in EMDR, Neurofeedback, and Prepare and Enrich (a premarital and marriage assessment), so I know how to do these things, too.

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.
