No matter the starting point, I will meet your teen where they are and help them find their way.
The high school years are complicated. Teens are complicated. You're wondering where your happy child went and how to get them back. As a Mental Health Counselor and former High School Counselor that has worked with thousands of teens, I believe this unique developmental stage is deserving of specialized care. Teenage mental health is different than adults and children which is why we have to treat it differently. It doesn't have to be about disorders, labels and canned treatments. I believe teenage mental health is about seeing this complex developmental and transitional stage of life as an extraordinary opportunity for growth.

Since graduating in 2017, I have primarily worked with children, adolescents, and adults with depression, anxiety, and ADHD.
Life is stressful; especially as a teen or young adult! So many life changes, school pressure is hard, and relationships with friends and parents can feel overwhelming. As a queer, neurodivergent therapist, I have the lived experience and know how hard it can be to constantly worry, feel shame about making small mistakes like forgetting important dates, and wonder if you are 'enough'. Luckily, I have designed my practice to help those with ADHD/ASD, Anxiety, and those in the LGBTQIA+ community overcome life's challenges. I would love to talk with you more about what YOU need! Reach out today!

Sometimes we need help managing life. Sometimes emotions become so intense that they're difficult to manage, sometimes difficult things come our way and we need extra support, and sometimes our brains are wired differently than most people's and it can be tricky to navigate living in a neurotypical world. Skills training and coaching can help navigate the process of figuring out what your goals are in life - whether that's big feelings or better friendships - and implementing specific strategies for getting to where you want to be.

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.
