Teens (14+)

I began my career working in middle and high schools as a mental health therapist. Since opening my practice in 2017, supporting these young people has continued to be a core focus of my work.

I help teens feel better, increase their self-understanding, develop the tool of self-compassion, and take ownership over their mental health.

SO much happens in adolescence; it is a time filled with immense change and growth. Various challenges, obstacles, and difficult experiences are also a part of this process. I help teens (and parents) navigate through it all.

Beyond the greater intention of supporting my clients through this life stage, I offer support in treating such specific experiences as:

• ADHD

• Anger

• Anxiety (Generalized, Social, & Separation)

• Bereavement/Death of a loved one

• Bullying

• Depression

• Gender Identity

• Fears and Phobias

• Inner Criticism

• Parental Divorce/Separation

• Self-Esteem

• Sexuality and Sexual Identity

• Social Withdrawal or Isolation

• Substance Abuse

• Suicidal Thoughts

In my work with teens, I often collaborate with the parent/guardian(s) throughout the process if appropriate. The frequency and intensity of parental involvement will vary depending on the teen's age and situation, but I seek to be available to parents to explore new ways of best supporting their teen. The confidentiality of the teen is always maintained even when collaborating with parents. 

Please contact me if you would like to schedule an initial appointment or set up a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation to discuss your situation.
