If you are experiencing difficulty in dealing with a traumatic past or event, I would like to help. I see individuals who are experiencing anxiety and depressive symptoms, problems in relationships, using substances as a way to cope, and are finding day to day life challenging. I help my clients to better understand what they are experiencing, identify what they want to change, and implement steps to making the changes they seek. I believe in the inner strength, resilience, and agency of each person.

I work with diverse client populations, which include at-risk children dealing with depression and anxiety to the elderly population dealing with adjustment or end of life issues. Promoting good mental health is the goal in therapy. This allows an individual to achieve greater emotional independence.

As the parent of a pre- teen or teenager, you often find yourself wondering what you can do to help them feel better. Or perhaps you are wondering how to help yourself feel better. It seems like you've tried everything, but nothing seems to work, at least not for very long. Their personality has changed and sometimes you worry that it might get worse. You know they have so much potential - where did it go? It can be scary to reach out to a counselor because you want to make sure that you find someone who can really connect with your child and also keeps you in the loop.

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.
