Therapy for Teens

I understand that we need to have an real relationship before you start dishing your life story. I focus on building trust with you first, before diving into the tough stuff.

I might not understand YOU yet, but it’s my goal to get there!

I’m not cold, stuffy, or boring. I’ll talk back to you, I’ll let you swear (and I might let one slip too), I’ll laugh with you, I’ll let you laugh at me, and I’ll talk to you about all your interests.

For the most part- parents don’t know what we talk about (with the exception of certain safety concerns that will be covered in the first session)- unless you give me specific instructions and permission to talk to them. Otherwise, what you say in my office stays in my office!

We can play games, paint, go for a walk, listen to music- anything that makes you feel more comfortable. I’m all about making therapy as relaxed and fun as possible while still addressing your needs and goals

Grab a bag of chips and let’s talk about how frustrating your math teacher is, or how your first date went

Although I might challenge you, I’m your biggest hype woman and I’m all about watching you succeed and celebrating every little win with you.
