If you are feeling bad about yourself, your friends have noticed you are not always kind to yourself, or your self-consciousness is interfering with your life in a negative way then I can help. Negative self-talk, imposter syndrome, low self-esteem, and lack of self-confidence can interfere with how we show up in the world and ultimately hold us back from where we want to be. I enjoy working with teens and adults who are struggling to navigate these challenges, whether it's due to identity, body image, anxiety, grief or something else.

Sometimes it can be hard to see life's hurdles as an opportunity to understand ourselves better, yet life is full of these painful, frustrating and uncomfortable experiences. Sometimes they are traumatic. Sometimes next steps are unclear or you've lost your voice and maybe you feel frozen or overwhelmed or uncertain. You want to speak up for yourself. You want to start moving through life again.

When you're in a season of your life that feels darker, lonelier or more painful, when you feel tired and overwhelmed, when you lack direction or energy, or when your relationships are suffering, it's easy to forget that you possess everything you need to grow and change. I believe that we each have the answers we need within us and the capacity to improve our circumstances, but that sometimes we get off course. I also believe that what we focus on gets bigger, so when we focus on the good and beautiful in life, the weeds get crowded out. This isn't just my personal belief - it's actually rooted in science!

I have served adolescent and adult populations impacted by substance use disorder, trauma, co-occurring disorders, domestic violence and family conflict since 2010.
Are you facing struggles like anxiety, depression (postpartum or otherwise), parenting, relationship or interpersonal / family issues? Maybe you're noticing that- as a response to stress or old habits- you've built an unhealthy relationship to alcohol, substances or food. I provide an open and positive space to explore any of these issues and work with folks to identify realistic and promising solutions for wellness.

I worked over 10 years as a child/ teen counselor in alternative schools and for the state of MA.
I have been working with families who are in crisis ( children with behavioral issues and teens who have trouble functioning). I have extensive experience with substance abuse (heroin,pills, and alcohol) issues, that have been affecting teens/parents. I can help parents and couples, dealing with relationship problems-many times tantruming children or depressed/anxious teens are a factor. Working with the entire family, or just the individual is my specialty. I have experience working with children who have trauma history, ADHD, anxiety or depression. I am able to assist parents in deciphering the IEP/504 options, if needed.

Throughout my career as a clinical social worker, I have worked with teenagers and families. I love young people: their enthusiasm and their passion for life, even their confusion and their uncertainties. As for the parents of those teenagers, I can only empathize with you. Even experienced clinicians struggle parenting teens when they're your own. And the toll parenting a teenager can take on a marriage: it is undoubtedly why most of the couples I have worked with, sought marriage therapy during the time their children were teenagers or young adults. I understand their pain and want to help relieve it.

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.
