Is Your Teen Ready to Build Emotional Resilience and Confidence?

If your teen is looking to manage their emotions, develop a strong sense of self, make sound decisions, handle stress, and improve communication in social, family, or peer relationships, we may be a great fit. I specialize in working with teens to help them gain control over their emotions and behaviors, fostering a sense of empowerment and self-awareness.

In our personalized therapy sessions, we focus on key areas tailored to your teen's goals: building resilience, learning practical strategies for managing life’s challenges, and enhancing their communication skills. We also work on self-advocacy in social settings, equipping them to navigate relationships with confidence.

Whether your child or teen is eager to engage in therapy or feeling hesitant, I integrate techniques from Motivational Interviewing and Play Therapy to build trust and motivation for treatment. With my background in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I also teach essential skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance to help them thrive in their everyday lives.

What does the first session look like?

With any teen, our first session will include one or both caregivers. In the first session, we’ll focus on building rapport, understanding the whole problem, and establishing clear goals for treatment to set you up for success. Parent-child or parent coaching sessions may be part of your child’s treatment when clinically appropriate.
