If you are looking for therapy for your child, I understand you want to make sure that they are with the right person and feel comfortable in therapy. My approach is warm, open and aimed to make sure that they feel understood. I have specialized in working with teens from community, school-based and county settings over the past 15 years.

Your teen might be feeling on edge, overwhelmed and shut down. Sometimes the layers of academic pressure, navigating friendships, and trying to meet expectations in extra curricular activities can be a lot. Combined with emotions that are felt strongly and deeply, this can feel like a mountain of pressure.

Anxiety therapy offers an opportunity for your child to open up and let out their emotions in a space that is comfortable. Letting them feel heard is just as important as ‘fixing.’ Within session, I help teens better understand where their feelings are coming from and how to regulate. Additionally, with teens with anxiety, I understand they may want to learn tools that they can use through out their day to help feel more confident and at ease. Overall the goal is helping them go from feeling on edge and overwhelmed to feeling more calm and empowered.
