I know firsthand the struggle of divorce, teenagers acting out, being the caregiver of a special needs child, and having to start your life over.
We are taking new clients at our office. We believe that therapy is a journey to build a better you. Whether that is moving through trauma, exploring and conquering anxiety, learning sports psychology tactics, raising your child (and dealing with the wonderful adolescent drama), fighting addiction, or strengthening your marriage, we're in this together. If you enter my therapy office, you are here to grow. While therapy is a process, it does not have to be a long, drawn out, difficult and treacherous.

I love working with children and adolescents, as well as including their parents in the healing journey.
I have extensive experience in play therapy, and I deeply understand its importance in helping children express themselves. I thoroughly enjoy incorporating therapeutic games, art, and creative mediums such as clay and playdough into my work with kids. Allowing children to express themselves in an alternative way allows for a safe environment to explore any difficulties or trauma they have experienced. No matter what your child is going through, I would love to support and guide them towards processing and growth.

I often have parents express surprise that their child or teen would even talk in therapy but most of them really need a non-family trusted adult in their life.
Is your teen struggling and you don't know what to do? Email me for a free consult call and let's talk. I'm a child and adolescent therapist and parent coach with a real heart for helping kids and their parents. (and I've raised three myself, so I've been there.) I also work with clients with other concerns including marriage/relationship struggles, general life stress, and women's issues and I welcome a chat to see if we're a good fit.

Have you ever wondered, "If people knew who I really am, would they still love me?" These and other (painful) questions and doubts can be the beginning of amazing journeys of self-discovery. Deep inner work can be both difficult and rewarding. I do my best to bring to therapy an attitude of deep respect for my clients and the challenges that life brings. I believe I can help make the journeys of self-discovery more rewarding and a bit less rocky -- whether the time we work together be brief or more lengthy.

Everyone has issues & problems. Healthy people admit it. I grew up with debilitating anxiety & OCD. In life, you can choose passion or fear. I chose fear for 30 years. I was a prisoner to anxiety when I found myself at the end of my proverbial rope. I began working with a therapist who helped me to understand the root causes of my fears, but I still felt stuck. I started working with a somatic coach who taught me about mindfulness & body work and took me on a life-changing journey to India, where I trekked in the Himalayas & discovered my life's purpose - to turn my trials into triumphs so that I can help others to do the same.

If relationships are so great, why are they so hard?! We’re experiencing an epidemic of loneliness. Have you tried to change your relationships and are feeling discouraged by the lack of progress? The clients I work best with typically struggle with wanting more from their relationships, wondering why they aren’t finding what they are looking for, and then have fallen into a pattern of depression, anxiety, numbing, and maladaptive coping. They've been working incredibly hard, but want help working smarter. Our wounds change the way we show up, and if we don’t address our wounds we’ll keep getting the same results.

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.
