What I Can Do For You

Teens see me as a confidant and mentor. They don’t see me as an authoritative adult.
I speak 16 year-old-fluently and have dedicated my career to working with adolescents and creating a space where they can contemplate their thoughts, feelings and actions out loud with no judgement or being told what to do. My goal as a psychotherapist is to help my clients become who they are independent of what their environment has told them to be while beginning to understand themselves in the process.
Parents are relieved by my ability to translate for them. I can help you understand the teenage thought process behind confusing behavior such as scaling the side of the house to get the iPad back. I can also explain things to your child with you. They tend to automatically shut out parents and deem them “dumb, old, and don’t understand” when being told something they don’t want to hear.

I speak both 16 year old and adult fluently. I’m able to help both sides feel heard while helping teens and parents build a healthy interdependent relationship based on communication, mutual respect and boundaries.
