I specialize in treating depression, anxiety & trauma, as well as working with teens, young adults, & those dealing with difficult life transitions.
Something doesn't feel right and you want things to get better. You feel paralyzed by sadness or worry, or something from your past seems to be haunting you. You are becoming more withdrawn, feeling disconnected, or have problems concentrating at times. Or perhaps you have racing thoughts and feel overwhelmed, as if your emotions are difficult to control. You are unhappy in your relationships, or maybe you are struggling to adjust to a life transition. Perhaps you are a parent and you're worried about changes in your child or adolescent's mood and behavior.

Congratulations! You have taken the first step - often, the hardest step - toward building a better, more balanced life. I believe therapy can be a process where you learn to recognize, and to use, strengths that you already have - while building even more strengths and learning to be resilient. Therapy doesn't have to be a difficult, painful process; in fact, therapy that is focused on identifying practical solutions and options (rather than being focused on problems and past mistakes) often leads to real change within an atmosphere that is positive and encouraging. (Yes, you are actually allowed to laugh during sessions!)

Some days, getting out of bed can feel like an impossible task. You may have thoughts about what the day will bring and feel dread. When you do get out of bed, perhaps, you begin a count down to the weekend or even to the end of the day. It’s getting harder to find motivation to fulfill your duties at work and home. You put a pause on personal goals. You may feel disconnected or find yourself snapping at others over little things. Frequent thoughts like: “I can’t seem to figure out what is wrong. I need to pull it together. Why can’t things be different?”- may live in your head rent free! This is unpleasant and certainly isn't you.

I have worked with individuals, couples, and families who have struggled to overcome marital issues, family conflict, depression, anxiety, anger issues, low self-esteem, and suicidal ideation. Most teen clients have difficulty socializing and fitting in with others in school. Many adult clients have trouble connecting with their family and feel inadequate during gatherings. Most children I see are unable to manage their anger, concentrate, or communicate with others in a respectful way. The couples I see have breakdowns in their communication, need help finding ways to resolve their differences and want to reignite their connection.

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.
