Are you or your teenager chronically overwhelmed? Do you constantly worry about eating the "right" things? Do you put high expectations on yourself to achieve, then beat yourself up if you don't meet those expectations? Whether it's big stress, big feelings, or big competitions, I can help. Most clients come to see me for anxiety, sport psychology, and eating disorders.

I sometimes help teen girls, on a case by case basis.
I believe in a family systems approach to counseling/therapy. The more support you have in your life, the better. So we will talk about your closest relationships, or how to gain them, family, friends, colleagues, classmates, etc. We will set goals, talk about resources, support groups if need be. I am also certified in TeleHealth to do online counseling as well. I hope to meet you soon...take good care.

If you are too, or you have a child or teen who is, you're in the right place.
I believe that the relationship is the most important part of the counseling process. You deserve care that feels both professional and comfortable. I take a goal-focused approach that can be best with clients who are looking for therapy with more structure or an end in sight. I'm resource oriented, person-centered, solutions focused, trauma informed, queer-identified and allied, and personally and professionally fluent in neurodiverse.

I believe therapy is about helping people realize the greatest amount of happiness in their lives. This may be learning how to manage one's depression and anxiety, a child or adolescent managing their opposition and defiance, or even some skills to make a speech or fall asleep. I also feel therapy is key in processing daily conflicts that affect our thoughts and feelings, but also learning how to make the best decisions that we value.

Are you a “late bloomer” when it comes to dating and struggling to stay ahead in how to best navigate the process? Are you a teenager that struggles to communicate with your parents and feel like a burden? A teen that keeps your feelings ? A teen that keeps your feelings locked inside and struggles to give your self compassion?.
At times we may feel that there’s no one that can understand us or fear not looking like the “strong” friend. We struggle to talk about our emotions and often wear masks out of the belief that nothing will change. Do you struggle to take up space in conversations or in a room due to lack of confidence? Or constant feelings of inadequacy due to struggles in managing high expectations placed upon you? Are you a person that struggles to show your body love and compassion? Have you had a history of disordered eating and want to work towards unsubscribing from diet culture and embrace the skin you’re in?

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.
