My experience with therapy in my teenage years deeply impacted me and shaped who I am today. I delight in building genuine connections with my teen clients as we work collaboratively towards enhancing their well being. I help empower teens and increase their sense of agency and purpose.

Thankfully some of the stigma around therapy has been minimized for Gen Z! They do however, face a confusing abundance of “TikTok psychology advice” that while occasionally beneficial, can be inaccurate, overwhelming, and over-pathologizing. Having their own space to work through their unique experience can provide clarity and hope! I mix deep exploration with concrete skills learning and psychoeducation.

Some of the things I work on with my teen clients:

• Anxiety of different levels of severity, obsessive compulsive disorder, panic attacks.

• Eating disorder recovery on a maintenance level and body image struggles.

• The big questions of life like “Who am I?” “Where do I fit in?” etc.

• Interpersonal struggles like social conflict, conflict with family members, dating, or social anxiety.

• Substance use problems.

• School related struggles.

• Difficulties with attention and focus.

• Depression.

• Insecurity.

• Coping with high stress.

• Trauma and loss.
