Some issues have included depression, trauma and loss, pornography and marital difficulties as well as adolescent behavior concerns.
One of the most important things we need in our own lives is balance. This is often difficult to achieve with life's constant demands on our time and energy. Without balance, life becomes wearisome and at times, unmanageable. We begin to wonder if there is meaning in our lives or even if it's "worth the trouble." In the effort to find relief or comfort, we may find ourselves drawn to self-defeating and even destructive behaviors that offer immediate yet temporary relief. There are other options, a different perspective may help. I offer just this to my clients.

Some issues have included adolescent behavior concerns, sexual misconduct, depression, trauma and loss, pornography and family difficulties straining marital relationships.
One of the most challenging and stressful things we face in life are the emotional and behavioral problems of our children. These difficulties impact not only the success of the child but the overall happiness within our home, our marital relationships and life itself can become wearisome and unmanageable. We may begin to wonder if there is “hope” for improvement or even may feel like “what’s wrong with us.” In the effort to find relief or comfort, we may find ourselves drawn to self-defeating and even destructive behaviors that offer immediate yet temporary relief.

It is so hard to watch someone you care about suffering. You want to get them back to feeling like themselves again. Your child, teen, or young adult will receive expert guidance and support as they face the challenges of trauma, depression, and anxiety. This hard time they are going through right now will not define them.

You may have come across my page because you or someone in your life seems to need something more. Life is heavy at times and having someone to assist in lightening the load is necessary. Whether you are an adult experiencing conflict with self, a teen or kid navigating behaviors and fitting in, or your concerns are more centered on racial identity or adoption identity, you feel I may be able to help. Growing is hard and each stage presents a different experience that sometimes we don't know how to navigate. When there is a place for healthy expression, exploration and empowerment, these areas can get easier.

I specialize in adolescent and young adult populations.
Society often tells us that we should have the answers for everything and showing any sign of struggle is a sign of weakness. I believe showing that you are struggling is a strength and that is it unrealistic to believe we can do it all on our own. Humans are built for connection, not solitude. Life can be full of beautiful and fun moments, and sometimes life can cause anxiety or stress as well that we may not know how to best handle.

As a child and adolescent specialist, my career has revolved around supporting those who have experienced domestic violence, and their complex needs.
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.

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.
