Adolescents 

I’m a huge advocate for young adults and adolescents to help them see beyond themselves allowing them to get unstuck. When young people feel alone, I’m especially eager to be their guide and let them see the many champions standing behind them. 

I work well with adolescents, possibly because I’m still a big kid myself. Working with me is your personalized, judgment-free zone to think out loud, talk about your life, problems, parents, school, and anything else. We will work together to best manage your stressors and life. 

As your therapist, I’m in your corner and believe that you can be feeling better. I offer a safe and confidential space where you can just be you. Therapy is completely confidential, with a few exceptions, and I will only talk to your parents if you are in danger or if we discuss ahead of time what you would like shared. 

As I worked with adolescents, I noticed themes emerging that I had seen in both my therapy practice and previous life as a teacher. I learned to recognize phrases and patterns that damage a child’s self-esteem. I wanted to share my insights, so I wrote a book that didn’t just point out what not to say, but what you should say when talking with kids. My book,  “Toxic Terms: 10 Things Never to Say to Kids…But What You Can Say Instead”, is available on Amazon.
