Therapy for
Teens & Tweens

Ages 13–18

Life as a teenager can be a rollercoaster of emotions, and navigating these ups and downs isn't always easy. Whether your tween or teen is experiencing normal life adjustments or struggling with more chronic conditions, I offer a collaborative and tailored treatment plan and interventions.

Compassion and Non-judgement

My approach with tweens and teens tries to be compassion and non-judgement first and foremost. I believe rapport and connection are the most powerful tool when working with this age group.

I am certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and specialize in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) expressive arts interventions, and mindfulness. I can collaborate with their school and other providers when pertinent and with consent from parents and teen.

I tend to connect well with those teens labeled as difficult, stuck, and/or quirky.

I work especially well with teens: ​

  • who are struggling with anxiety and/or depression;

  • experiencing conflict with parents or peers;

  • isolating from family or peers;

  • grappling with identity;

  • thoughts of death or suicide;

  • frequent mood swings;

  • low self-esteem;

  • exploring their gender identity;

  • learning about their neurodiversity;

  • LGBTQIA+

I have had success empowering teens to make better decisions for themselves, feel connected, and start down a healthier path.
