I have 16 years of experience working with adolescents as a school counselor and in outpatient therapy.
I am dedicated to providing my clients with a space that is accepting where they can feel comfortable talking to me about anything without fear of judgement. I believe that therapy should be tailored to a client’s individual needs. My sincere desire is that I can walk together with clients in their journey to help them find solutions and to develop skills so that they can learn to become the best version of themselves. I know it is hard feeling not good enough, or just weary from the pressures of life. I know as a parent it is hard when you don’t know how to help your teen. Let me help lighten the load.

Since 2006, I have worked with children, teens, adults, and families, in a variety of settings.
Hello, and Congrats on taking your first step towards self-improvement! My main approaches are cognitive and trauma therapies. Our thoughts, our beliefs, and even our inner voice strongly shape our emotions. When unfortunate events happen in our lives, we try our best to make sense of these events and what our lives have now become. As we adjust our thoughts and beliefs, our emotions have to follow. I combine CBT, trauma therapy, brief/solution focused, and EMDR. I work with traumas, grief/loss, anxiety, depression, addictive behaviors, toxic work places, toxic relationships, adjusting to changes in life, and low self confidence.

Y'all, there's no doubt about it - being human is hard sometimes. You find yourself exhausted by life and frequently have a nagging feeling that something is wrong with you and/or your life. You've tried self-care and positive thinking, or finding ways to distract yourself... but in quiet moments, there is an empty loneliness inside that you're not sure what to do with. You've been through a lot and you've survived. But you're tired of surviving, and the idea of actually thriving in your life and relationships sounds glorious but elusive. You just haven't been sure how to get there, and you get stuck in overwhelm.

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.
