Therapy provides a safe and non-judgmental space where we explore topics together so you can live a happier life.
When you improve your relationship with yourself and your relationships with others, you’re on the path to a better life. I can help you along that path.
We may talk about thoughts, behaviors, and/or feelings. The stuff we talk about varies depending on your goals. Examples of discussion topics include stress, depression, anxiety, negative body image, eating concerns, weight issues, self-injurious behaviors, relationship challenges in your life, and many more.
I have lots of extra training, expertise, and experience treating people with eating issues or disorders, body image issues, and/or high sensitivity, The way I help is based on a blend of different approaches. I am not a fan of a cookie-cutter approach. Each of us is too unique!

What Is the Importance of Teen Therapy?
Being a teenager can feel exciting, confusing, and overwhelming all at once. There are big changes in your body, your emotions, and the way you see the world. Sometimes these changes bring stress, anxiety, sadness, or self-doubt. Teen therapy is important because it gives you a safe place to talk about your feelings and problems. You can learn more about yourself, understand what is bothering you, and figure out how to handle challenges in a healthy way. Starting therapy early can make it easier to manage life now and help you feel stronger in the future.
Benefits of Teen Therapy
- Personal support: You get help that is focused on you and your unique needs.
- Clearer thinking and coping skills: Talking about your feelings can help you understand them better and learn ways to deal with stress.
- Better self-esteem: You can start to see yourself in a more positive way.
- Healthier relationships: You can learn how to communicate and understand others better, which can make friendships and family life easier.
- Stopping problems from getting bigger: Therapy can help with small issues before they turn into bigger problems.
How Does It Work?
Therapy usually starts with getting to know each other and building trust. Your therapist listens to you without judging. Together, you decide what you want to work on.
A session might include:
- Talking about what is on your mind, like school, friendships, or self-image.
- Learning strategies to handle tough feelings, such as breathing exercises or changing negative thoughts.
- Choosing between meeting in person or online, depending on what feels comfortable for you.
- Making small steps toward your goals over time.
- Having a safe and private space where you can share what you are going through.
Therapy is not about fixing you because you are not broken. It is about helping you understand yourself better and giving you tools to live your life with more confidence and calm.
