youth therapy

I love to support young people (age 12 – 18) on their path to themselves. The teenage years can be an intense time, exciting, challenging, confusing, and so full of possibility. As a time of initiation from childhood to adulthood, any young person will benefit from setting aside a time  to be present with themselves as they walk through this portal, to find out who they are and what they would like their life to be. 

Prior to private practice, I worked as a counselor in a high school setting, where I focused on students with adverse childhood experiences, both in an individual and a group setting. In my work with youth, I have found that there is a real need today for therapists and teachers alike to come from a trauma-informed place. So many expectations are set in place that it can feel refreshing to have a space that is free of judgment.

Growing up in pandemic times and all its implications on families and social life has been especially hard for many. Support is now more needed than ever.
