What We Work On

Every teen is different, and so are the challenges they face. Some of the areas we may explore include:

• Anxiety, stress, and school performance pressure
• Depression, low self-esteem, or self-harm
• Gender, sexuality, and identity exploration
• Social issues, bullying, and peer conflict
• Trauma or family dynamics

Whether your teen is struggling or just needs someone to talk to outside the family, therapy can offer relief, clarity, and connection.

A Look Inside Teen Therapy

Collaborative Family Support

While teen therapy centers the teen’s experience, I also work with parents and caregivers to support the family system. We can collaborate on:

• Building healthier communication within the family
• Navigating conflict or power struggles
• Supporting your teen through mental health challenges

You don’t need to have all the answers. Supporting your teen starts with listening and showing up.

My Approach with Teens

I bring warmth, authenticity, and respect into every session. Teens can tell when someone’s not being real with them, and I don’t believe in putting on a therapist “mask.” I meet them where they are, offering practical tools, emotional validation, and space to process without pressure.

Sessions may include:

• Creative approaches like art or movement
• Mindfulness and nervous system regulation tools
• Guided reflection and values exploration

Above all, the goal is to help teens build resilience, self-trust, and emotional awareness that they can carry with them.
