Being a teen can be tough. You’re dealing with a lot—changing emotions, friendships, family stuff, and figuring out who you really are. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed, confused, or just like no one gets it. That’s where I come in.

I offer a confidential space where you can talk openly about whatever’s on your mind—without judgment. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, school stress, family problems, or just trying to figure out life, I’m here to help you make sense of your feelings and develop the tools to handle tough situations.

Therapy isn’t just about talking. It’s about giving you practical skills to manage your emotions and feel more in control. It’s also about helping you improve how you communicate and deal with challenges in your life.

I’ll work with you at your own pace and, if you’d like to, I can also help your family understand how to support you better.

I might be a good fit if:

• You often feel stressed and overwhelmed when it comes to keeping up with school, sports, and parent expectations

• You feel directionless about what you want to do after high school

• You feel pressure to meet your own expectations and the expectations of others

• You sometimes wonder if it’s all worth it

• You have a difficult relationship with your family/parents or feel they just don’t “get” you

• You wish you just had someone trustworthy to talk to

• You have more “down” days than “good” days

• You have experienced sexual, verbal, emotional, or physical abuse

• You don’t feel good about yourself and you never feel good enough

• You have gone through a break-up or are having trouble in your relationship

• Your anxiety often feels crippling and you don’t know how to manage it

• You’re dealing with the separation or divorce of your parents

• You want to improve your relationship with your parents

And for you, parents…

With nearly 30 years of experience working with adolescents, I have a deep appreciation for their energy and creativity and their willingness to challenge norms and explore new ideas. At the same time, I also recognize how impressionable they are and how easily they can become overwhelmed by their emotions. Adolescence is a confusing time, and it can be tough for parents when their child seeks support from friends rather than from them.

As a counselor, my role is to support both you and your adolescent through this challenging stage, helping them make sense of their emotions and learn essential life skills. I work to build trust with my adolescent clients while promoting healthy communication with parents. I’m here to be a collaborative and supportive resource for both your teen and your family.
