Being a teenager is hard.
It’s not just all the expectations others put on you to:
Do well in school
Make friends
Participate in extracurriculars (and excel at them)
Engage on social media enough to stay connected but not so much you end up spiraling
Make your family happy
Get along with your siblings
It’s also your own need to figure out who you are and what you want in life.
No wonder you’re feeling overwhelmed, overstimulated, and just plain over it.
In my experience as a therapist, I’ve discovered group therapy to be a powerful way to help teens like you work through struggles, overcome difficulties, and feel less alone.
Using my vast experience working with children, adolescents and adults in community mental health clinics, schools, non-profits, and group practice, I’ve helped people work through anxiety, depression, self-doubt, identity exploration, social difficulty and trauma.
I’ve been trained in a variety of therapeutic modalities including CBT, DBT, and psychodynamic therapy from a strengths-based, attachment-oriented, trauma-informed, and systems-based approach. This allows me to provide you with the personalized care you need, so you can experience healing and meet your goals.
My groups are inclusive, safe, and empowering. No mean girls or bullies here. Just adolescents sharing their stories, finding common ground, and growing to love themselves just as they are.
No matter what you’re going through, you belong here.
No judgment. Just compassion, understanding, and support to live the life you want.
Schedule a 15-minute call with me to see if we're a good fit.
I’m looking forward to meeting you!
