I see adults and adolescents of any age . I see quite a few couples and families to work through marital or parenting problems. Most of my clients are seeking insight about how to approach their problems in new ways, to acquire new understandings which enable them to see possibilities that may have been elusive to them without the added input of an experienced therapist. I have tried to develop a style that focuses on how to help people develop their capacity to tune in more deeply to their own inner awareness and knowledge, to see options that were previously unseen.

Hi There! My name is Sara, and I am a teen and adult therapist who is passionate about providing culturally-responsive, trauma-informed care. I believe therapy should be holistic and should consider the individual in the context of their environment, their culture and beliefs, and their unique life experiences. In my practice, I use TF-CBT to help you both manage common symptoms like depression and anxiety, while if relevant, process and manage trauma. I do so by also incorporating somatic experiencing (SE) to help you process memories and emotions in a safe and embodied way.

I specialize in treating anxiety and work collaboratively with the child/teen as well as their parents.
It can be difficult under normal circumstances to know when to seek outside help for your child. If your child is experiencing distress or engaging in behaviors that are interfering with their ability to participate successfully in life, then you are on the right track in seeking additional support. I work in collaboration with children and the adults in their life to help target goal areas and provide practical support. As a licensed school psychologist I have a range of experience working with children-teens in support of their social, emotional, learning, and behavioral needs in private and public school settings.

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.
