Therapy sessions are available in-person and via telehealth.

Does it ever seem like your teen is so overwhelmed with everything going on at school and in their personal life that they might “explode” if there’s another stressor added?

The school schedule, homework, extracurricular activities, social media, the struggle with friendships and fitting in, college decisions and preparations… it’s all exhausting.

Instead of being carefree and enjoying their adolescence, your teen is stressed out about academic performance and getting into a great college.

They are perfectionistic which negatively impacts their self-concept. You see such potential and promise in your teen but they have trouble enjoying their everyday life.

I believe that now more than ever teens need a safe space to talk about their worries, disappointments, fears and relationships. Therapy can be an additional support for your teen to learn how to take better care of themselves. Counseling can help your teens learn to trust themselves in dealing with uncertainty and to increase their self-confidence.

As a teen psychologist and a mom of 2 college students, I have lots of professional and personal experience to provide. I will teach your teen various effective coping skills in managing stress, anxiety and depression. I will teach them the power of practicing HeartMath, setting boundaries, and practicing self-compassion daily. As a cognitive behavioral therapist, I help teens understand the power of their thoughts and help them realize they can control their thoughts and actions. Working together, I will help your teen find ease and understand what makes her enough. My hope is for her to see herself with confidence and assuredness.

Don’t let your teen avoid anymore and encourage them to seek support now. If you’re ready to help your teen better manage stress and find more ease, please click below to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation.
