I enjoy working with individuals who are striving to understand their feelings and emotions; these individuals may have complex histories that they are endeavoring to make peace with and to use those experiences to create a stronger and more resilient sense of themselves. Very often, they need a listening ear and a guiding voice to make sense of their past and their present. I believe in creating a safe space for the client to explore and come to understand themselves more fully.

It's easy to compare our inner struggles to the polished exteriors others present. That sense of isolation can make us mold ourselves into versions of what we think we should be, losing touch with our true selves. When we push away the darker aspects of ourselves, we also dim our inner light. Together, we can explore the real "You" beyond the facade, allowing the parts of you that long to be seen and understood to come forward.

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.
