If you or someone you know is a teen or adult affected by autism and needs help finding a dedicated, eager, and energetic psychotherapist, please reach out.
I’m a Temporary Limited Licensed Psychologist and Licensed Behavior Analyst specializing in treating adolescents and adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). ​​Before obtaining my master's in Clinical Psychology, I have been in the field of applied behavior analysis (ABA) for over four years. During graduate school, I continued enhancing my experience by working hands-on with adolescents and adults as a behavioral technician and student therapist. Having spent thousands of hours treating adolescents and adults with ASD, I'm familiar with the lack of resources for teens and adults on the spectrum, which is what led me here!

I believe that therapy can benefit anyone. It can be very helpful in many situations. At some point in peoples lives they will experience psychological or emotional distress. Some people will avoid seeking help because they are unsure how therapy will help them. Therapy helps us understand why we act and respond in ways that cause us harm, get us through rough times, and help to strengthen family ties and build healthier relationships.

I believe in the power of belonging. I offer healing for clients who feel numb or feel “too much”, and have a special interest working with healthcare workers and birth trauma. Many clients have been managing tension generated by caring for others, and their identity has been impacted by burn out and compassion fatigue following chronic stress. Feeling lost, maybe frozen in a sea of uncertainty can be one of the most isolating human experiences. My hope is through healing we can restore your sense of connection to yourself and the world around 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.
