Being a teenager is challenging and full of unique obstacles. Research indicates that the teenage brain is highly emotional—a natural gift that prepares them for independence—while also undergoing significant developmental changes. During this time, teens begin to distance themselves from their families, focusing more on friendships, their dreams, and what it takes to pursue their passions. As important as this work is for their development, it is also incredibly hard and can lead to feelings of depression, anxiety, isolation and low self esteem.

I work with teens to build a strong, trusting relationship that fosters exploration and personal growth. Prioritizing confidentiality, I aim to create a safe space where they know I’m genuinely on their side. While I utilize various therapeutic approaches, I believe that a solid relationship is my most powerful tool. I also value involving parents when appropriate, collaborating to discuss effective strategies that support their child's journey.
