Therapy for teens and adults. Are you exhausted from trying everything you know to do to help your teen and it just isn’t working? You’ve likely heard your son ask, “What’s the point?” more times than you can count and he has increasingly struggled to complete his day to day tasks. You’ve seen all the potential he has if only he would apply himself, but recently his grades have been slipping, his behavior has become more reckless or apathetic, and he has lost the interest he once had in life. Are you ready for him to grow up and do his chores without being nagged repeatedly? It’s time to hire a specialized teen therapist.

Whether it’s relationship challenges, career uncertainty, or parenting struggles, I help partners find direction, build stronger connections to significant others, and gain the confidence to live the life they’ve dreamed of. For many of us, it was not and is not modeled how to be emotionally connected in today’s world. This drastically affects our chances of being what our significant other, family, or ourselves need. You don’t have to do this alone and we can explore together how to be the partner you want to be.

When we meet, I use an interactive, collaborative, conversational, and relational approach that will ensure you have the ability to change how you think, control your emotions, and take practical steps to reach your goals. What that means is our sessions tend to be conversational, fun, and relationship based. If you care about the clinical jargon, I use techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy, EMDR, and Solution Focused Brief Therapy.

When I’m not working with clients, I also enjoy running, soccer, martial arts, and reading.
