Regardless of where you are struggling; past, present and/or future, there is hope.

No one seems to understand what you’re going through. It feels like everyone wants something different from you, and no one cares what you want for yourself. Your parents tell you to act like an adult, but then they treat you like a child. Every decision you make feels like it will have a massive impact on your future. Each day at school, you’re forced to navigate a social minefield of potential embarrassment and rejection. You’re constantly torn between who people want you to be and who you actually are. Trying to juggle friendships, dating, grades, parents, and teachers, all while trying to find yourself, is just too much.

Many of us have been made to feel like a failure as if we’re not good enough. We've experienced loved ones taking advantage of our trust, leaving us feeling blindsided. It’s no wonder that we might be unsure of who we truly are, as others have often tried to define that for us. I believe that your story is still being written—by you. Together we can help individuals with trauma rediscover their strength, heal from past wounds, and regain control over their narrative.

We as humans aren't meant to go through difficult times alone. When your resources seem low, a therapist offers consistent, reliable opportunities to work toward your healing. I might be a good fit for you if you are looking for empowerment through creative expression. As an art therapist, I believe art and imagination can address our bodies' biological survival responses in ways rational thinking and talk therapy can't.

Being a teenager or young adult has always been difficult, but recently it seems impossible to emerge from adolescence with a stable self-esteem, healthy peer relationships, and long-term goals. I assure you it is possible - some of us just need additional support. Over my last 4 years working with teen and young adult clients, I have met with students in middle and elementary schools struggling with general anxiety to self-harming behaviors. I strive to provide a safe and nonjudgmental space for every client so that they feel seen, heard, and capable to become the kind of person they want to be.

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.
