If your teen is struggling with depression, anxiety, anger, ADHD, trauma, school difficulties, low-motivation, family problems, or self-esteem issues, I can help.
Help for adolescents and adults. Our attempts to connect with others or express our fears and worries are often met with criticism or a "let's fix it and move on" attitude. It is normal to feel shame and fear, frustration, anger, and at times stuck. In therapy I give you the space to freely speak, be heard, and sit with an idea, thought, or feeling at your own pace. I will give you practical assistance for the challenges you are facing.

I see teens, college students, adults, and parents: One of the hardest things as a parent is watching your child/ teen suffer, whether it be from anxiety, OCD, depression, intense emotion, or social challenges. You want to support your child but feel at a loss. You may feel like the tools you've used for parenting and connecting with your child no longer work. Navigating the demands on your time and the emotions of your child feels impossible. You're suffering, too.

You've been dealing with this thing forever–depression, anxiety, or maybe just that relationship issue that keeps popping up. That thing that makes you question your relationship or inevitably leads to its dissolution. You don't need somebody to tell you "what" it is, you've lived with it for this long and you're fairly clear on that point. But "why"? Why is it there? What is motivating it? Why does "this" keep happening? What are the unseen forces that you feel, but can't seem to name? Until we know why, we can never get down to the root of the problem–we will only be dealing with the symptoms and not the cause.

Despite feeling confident and self-assured in most areas of your life, food and body image is the one space where you feel like you can’t get ahead. You have tried every diet out there and you are still struggling with your relationship to food. You keep telling yourself that if you just had the willpower and dedication, this wouldn’t be a problem for you any longer. As someone who is maybe a perfectionist at times, you try to double down on all of the “right things” diet culture tells you that you should do. But it’s like holding wet sand- the harder you hold onto it, the more control slips away.

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.
