Therapy for Teens

Many teens today are navigating anxiety, academic pressure, changing identities, friendship challenges, family conflict, social media stress, and overwhelming expectations.

I work with teens ages 12–17 who may be experiencing:
 

• Anxiety or excessive worry

• Low self-esteem or perfectionism

• Trauma

• Depression or feeling disconnected

• Friendship and social challenges

• Family conflict

• Major life transitions such as divorce, loss, or moving

• Difficulty understanding or expressing emotions

• Stress related to school, identity, or future expectations
   

My approach is warm, collaborative, and developmentally informed. I strive to create a space where teens feel genuinely understood rather than judged or pressured. Therapy can help teens better understand themselves, develop healthy coping skills, strengthen their relationships, and build confidence in who they are becoming.

I work closely with parents when appropriate while also protecting the therapeutic relationship and helping teens develop a sense of autonomy and trust.
