It is time to heal the split. Red vs Blue. Autonomy vs Community. Masculine vs Feminine. Mind vs Body. Earth vs. Human. Rationality vs Intuition. Science vs Spirit. All of these divisions have created monstrous cracks in our collective and inner landscapes, which have been making us sick psychologically, physically, and spiritually. However, for those who are willing to slow down and step into these cracks, therein lies the space and possibility for something new and more beautiful to emerge. We have become fractured and fragmented by a misunderstood myth of separation.

People have always been my passion. They fascinate me...what makes them tick, what makes them happy, how they fit together. People are defined by their culture, their beliefs, their relationships, connections, communications, structure, and family. All people are connected. Everyone affects everyone they know. When one person has problems, everyone in the family is affected. Sometimes the relationships themselves need work; but everyone needs to tell their story, to feel heard and validated. Everyone deserves to declare their voice, their identity. And sometimes, we all need a little help with telling others our needs and feelings.

I specialize in helping folks understand the effects of their childhood and adolescent relationships on experiences in adulthood.
Therapy is a space for exploring problems in relation to personal history, relationships, and social, cultural, and environmental contexts. Together, we can develop insight about things that can be changed and skills to cope with things that cannot. I hope to become your partner in discovering meaning in daily life and your personal answers to life's existential uncertainties. I believe the most important ingredient in therapy is a relationship based on respect, authenticity, empathy, and humor. I appreciate every person's unique identity, culture, and experiences, and I hope to realize the distinct value of your perspective.

I will collaborate with you or your teen in order to identify goals and actively work on them while we work together.
Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are. So who do you ultimately want to be? What is going on in your life to cause stress or strife? What can we change or take out to improve things? Are you communicating effectively with your adolescent or loved ones? Life can throw many different obstacles that cause stress, anxiety, depression, and a breakdown of relationships. One of the hardest relationships for parents or caregivers can be the one with their teenager. As a marriage and family therapist I take a look at your entire life and not just the person itself to facilitate change.

Your child or teen may be struggling in their relationships, having difficulty making friends or getting along with others. They may be withdrawn, unwilling to try new things or are constantly weighed down by self-critical thoughts. They may seem angry, reacting strongly to seemingly minor frustrations. Your child may have experienced a stressor or loss and is figuring out how to understand that experience. I specialize in providing therapy to children, teens and their families, with 10 years of experience in an outpatient mental health center, schools and a residential treatment center.

A clinical child psychologist, I love working with pre-teen, adolescent and college-age girls who are struggling to establish a sense of self.
Pain exists to make us pay attention. Trying desperately not to hurt, we compromise our integrity, our hearts and our sense of self, on some misguided mission to be invulnerable, to please, to care-take, or just to belong...Somewhere along the way, our vision of ourselves loses focus. Therapy can help create a new template for living. Research shows us that the brain can actually re-wire itself in the context of a secure relationship, developing new capacities for self-soothing, obtaining perspective, and being intimate. I believe that all suffering bears embedded gifts, if we look hard enough.

You want to appear as if you have it all figured out and that you are "ok", but deep down you are struggling with self-worth, coping, anxiety, conflict, and a clear direction in life. Everyday leaves you feeling overwhelmed, drained, and unsure about your roles and place in this world. Being a teenager, adulting, parenting, and caregiving is so much harder than you imagined. You feel so alone in your struggle, and you’re ready to make a change. You’re ready to start honoring yourself and your needs, even when it is hard. Most of all, you’re ready to do things differently, and you know the power to do that starts with you.

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.
