therapy for teens.

Is your teenager seeking extra support?

I work with teenagers looking for guidance and support through life’s ups and downs. Through our work together, your teen will find ways to process all that is going on for them, in real time.

Adolescence (even in the best of times) is full of challenges.

I help teens see a way out from stuckness, irritability, and confusion.

Through our work together, I help your teenager move from a place of simply surviving or coping, to really thriving in their daily lives.  

The past couple of years have been overwhelming, scary, and full of change. Even change that is good or exciting is still tough to process. Whether or not your teenager is doing “okay” right now, you would like them to have someone to talk to on a regular basis to process all that they are going through.

It’s no small feat to balance academics and extracurriculars, friendships and relationships, all the while creating an identity and planning for the future.

Your teen deserves to have regular support, no matter how well (or not) they appear to be coping.

I provide supportive and confidential individual therapy sessions for teens age 14+. All new clients start with a parents-only consultation, to have you describe what your teen is going through, and decide if I would be a good fit to help. From there, I meet virtually with your teen on a weekly basis. As a team, we can decide if it would be supportive to also schedule a regular check-in with just the parent(s).

I know that you may worry a great deal about your teenager. Perhaps frequent arguments are making it difficult for you to help, let alone understand what is going on for them. You want your teenager to have a safe space to discuss their troubles, fears, existential crises...anything and everything that might be coming up for them. Despite the bumps along the road, you want the best for them and hold a great deal of hope that they will start feeling better and you will get to see them flourish.

Through our work together, your teen will better weather, and even enjoy, the highs and the lows. They will better understand what will bring them from just coping with this phase of life to growing and blossoming into the young adult that they strive to be.
