Farmington, MI 48335
For over three decades, as an educator, school counselor and clinical therapist, I have worked with ethnically diverse populations in the areas of acculturation, anxiety, depression, stress management, low self esteem, adolescent and family relationships, trauma, grief and loss, academics and life transitions.
I am passionate and dedicated to supporting teens, adults, and families through life's challenges of school, work, relationships, and uncertainties. Healing past or current wounds of hurt, guilt and disappointment requires courage. Finding more effective ways to address current negative thinking patterns, beliefs, and experiences requires commitment. A collaborative therapeutic relationship in a non-judgemental and supportive environment allows the opportunity to find balance and hope as you achieve competency in new coping mechanisms. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed or confused, you are welcome as you are.

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.
