If you're looking for a warm, down to earth therapist that focuses on teens and adults, you've come to the right place. I believe that the therapeutic relationship should be a safe place that allows you to explore who you are and how to grow and heal from your stresses, anxieties, and difficulties with everyday life. We all need someone to talk to, therefore I believe in the effectiveness of talk therapy. Other areas of focus include: Christian counseling, teen and parenting issues, women that are high achievers, adjustment issues, relationship issues, and self esteem.

I have worked locally and internationally helping children, adolescent and adults navigate through difficult times to reach a variety of personal goals.
Welcome, I am passionate about your potential to see change. I have noticed often people accept a harmful pattern, negative emotion or unrealized potential as a permanent part of their lives. I believe change is not only possible, but attainable. If one puts in the effort you can gain insight, recognize patterns, and start on your journey towards change. Your goal may be feeling more balanced or it could be for your child to display improved focus or self esteem. Let us partner together to make pivotal transitions in your life.

I focus on two areas - relationships and trauma/PTSD - with couples, individuals, and families. Couples often struggle with a lack of emotional and physical intimacy, they've lost respect & trust for each other, have little companionship, poor communication, argue about finances, sex, children, etc. Trauma/PTSD is often an underlying cause of relationship problems. Many struggle with mental health and substance use as a result. They feel stressed, damaged, alone, numb, can't sleep/concentrate, have racing thoughts, mood swings, anger. They 've tried meds, therapy, substance rehab with little success and feel stuck. Is this you?

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.
