Therapy for Teens & Young Adults

Helping you feel seen, heard, and supported.

Young adulthood is a time of meaningful transition and self-discovery, often marked by both excitement and uncertainty. Therapy provides a supportive, nonjudgmental space to process these experiences, strengthen emotional insight, and build the skills needed for resilience, well-being, and personal growth.

Areas of Focus:

  • Anxiety, panic, and stress management

  • ADHD and executive functioning

  • Social challenges and friendship struggles

  • Low self-esteem and self-criticism

  • Family dynamics and communication

  • Academic pressure and burnout

  • Identity exploration and life transitions

Clients often describe me as warm, thoughtful, and easy to talk to. I bring a steady, nonjudgmental presence to sessions and meet each person where they are—whether we’re focusing on practical tools like managing stress or creating space for emotions that feel tangled or overwhelming.

My work is collaborative and flexible, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and strengths-based and psychodynamic approaches.

When working with adolescents, I involve parents in a collaborative way if it supports the client’s goals—especially with younger teens. As independence grows, I prioritize open communication while respecting autonomy, always with the client’s consent. At its core, therapy with me is about connection—a space where you feel safe, supported, and empowered to make meaningful change.

What to expect when you reach out

Beginning therapy can feel like a big step.
Here’s how we’ll make the process feel clear, supportive, and manageable:

  • Person sitting on a stone staircase, holding and looking at a smartphone with a blurred green and brown background.

    Phone Consultation

    We’ll start with a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation to talk about your needs and see if we’re a good fit.

  • A person holding a clear lightbulb with an filament inside, against a colorful sky background with pink, blue, and orange hues.

    Intake Session

    Our first full session is a chance to get to know each other. We’ll explore your goals, background, and what’s bringing you to therapy now.

  • A person writing a to-do list on a graph paper notebook with a pen.

    Personalized Plan

    Together, we’ll create a plan that feels realistic and meaningful, based on your needs, strengths, and priorities.

  • Two people sitting across from each other with hands clasped; one is wearing a denim jacket and the other a black sweater.

    Doing the Work

    We’ll meet weekly or biweekly to do the real work of therapy—building insight, practicing new skills, and moving toward healing and growth.
