Support for growth, clarity, and emotional balance
Adolescence brings rapid change. Relationships shift, expectations increase, and emotions can feel intense or hard to manage. Therapy offers teens a space to slow down, make sense of what they are experiencing, and build skills that support both daily life and long-term well-being.
Common Concerns Teens Bring to Therapy
- Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or on edge
- Ongoing low mood or irritability
- Pressure related to school or performance
- Difficulty with peer or family relationships
- Questions about identity or self-confidence
- Strong emotional reactions or mood shifts
- Motivation struggles or avoidance
These concerns can be frustrating or isolating, and they are valid reasons to seek support. Therapy is collaborative and practical, with a focus on understanding what is getting in the way and developing tools that can be used outside of sessions.
How I Work With Teens
My work with teens is grounded in evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness, adapted to each teen’s needs and pace. I aim to create a space where teens feel respected and understood, while also building skills for managing emotions, relationships, and stress more effectively.
When appropriate, I collaborate with parents in thoughtful and transparent ways. This allows teens to maintain privacy while ensuring families feel supported and informed.
Complimentary Consultation
Choosing a therapist is an important decision. I offer a free consultation so teens and parents can ask questions, learn more about how I work, and decide whether this feels like a good fit.
