Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker offering individual, family, couples, adolescent, and marriage counseling. My experience includes working with PTSD, anxiety, depression, loss and grief, family and relationship problems, and mood disorders. While I take a more holistic approach, I am trained in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and trauma-informed care. Making a decision to see a therapist might be the first step toward healing, and I will gladly guide and support you along that route.

I’ll work with your child or teen to help them overcome their challenges.
If you’re reading this, your child is likely facing significant challenges. Are they worrying, acting out, highly emotional, maybe hyperactive or inattentive? Their struggles are affecting their happiness, leaving you feeling anxious and unsure. Understanding and managing childhood behaviors can be tough. Navigating the teenage years adds another layer of complexity. Emotional outbursts can create conflict making you feel helpless. Teens retreat to their room, shut down; raising worries about their well-being. Their grades may be slipping, socially they seem lost, little self esteem; leaving you puzzled about these rapid changes.

Incorporating movement therapy allows your teen to relieve stress and work through emotional challenges physically, making therapy more accessible and effective.
As a parent, it’s heartbreaking to see your teen struggling, and you might feel lost and unsure how to reach them. Maybe your once outgoing child has become withdrawn, spending hours alone in their room, avoiding family or friends. Perhaps they’ve become irritable, lashing out over small things, or you’ve noticed their grades slipping, and they’re uninterested in activities they used to love. Your teen could be feeling anxious or overwhelmed, struggling to get through the day, leaving you feeling helpless.

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.
