I have over 20 years of clinical experience. I have worked with teenage/adolescent boys, children, and young men in just about every sector within this demographic. I have experience in treating adult men who are struggling with emotional regulation and their ability to effectively relate and communicate with their families/spouses. I am skilled at providing "parent coaching;" a modality that provides parents who may be struggling with their child/teen insight, understanding, and applicable solutions on how to improve their relations. I have extensive experience working with couples as well.

NOTE: I am currently full but my coworkers in my office have some room and have similar areas of expertise! Clients who work with me will be getting an authentic, genuine and relational experience versus the feeling of talking with someone cold, overly clinical or robotic. My favorite clients to work with are those who are part of the queer community, neurodivergent or who have a trauma history. I aim to work from a client-centered perspective and understand the importance of cultural humility in this work, particularly when working across differences.

Filling your schedule to the brim for fear of panicked thoughts entering your mind. Any opening for idleness, even while driving or in the shower, offers space for the ‘what if’s’ and negative thoughts to swirl about endlessly. Feeling lost and out of control of your own life. You feel stuck yet untethered and free falling through life. Wanting to take back control of your thoughts and behaviors and not let anxiety have so much power over what you do or how you feel about yourself.

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.
