The office also serves children/ adolescents who struggle with ADHD, behavioral problems, bullying, low self-esteem and traumatic experiences (emotional, physical, or sexual abuse).
I have 30 years experience working with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, couple/marital problems, addictions, codependency, sexual assault and other emotional problems. I utilize a strength-based, eclectic approach which tailors the course of treatment around the individual's needs. For example, when working with individuals relating problems with anxiety or depression, cognitive behavioral principles may be introduced which examine thinking patterns. Couples experiencing discord may need to work on improving communication skills, rebuilding trust, and enhancing emotional and sexual intimacy.

Feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or out of control? Are your worries preventing you from doing the things you love? If so, you are not alone. Anxiety can make you feel worry, fear, anger, and shame. The good news is, you do not have to travel the road to recovery alone. There is hope and you can get better! “Just because no one else can heal or do your inner work for you doesn’t mean you can, should, or need to do it alone” – Lisa Olivera.

Accepting New Clients - I am particularly drawn to individuals who feel stuck in their current life circumstances and yearn for more fulfillment, meaning and balance in their lives. I also specialize in supporting those who have experienced childhood trauma, which may impact their ability to regulate emotions, establish healthy relationships, and pursue their goals. Guiding clients through significant life transitions, including the loss of a loved one and important identity milestones, is an area I find deeply meaningful and rewarding.

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.
