Are your teen’s big emotions causing tension, conflict, or disruption at home?

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I specialize in helping adolescents navigate overwhelming feelings like anger, anxiety, sadness, and emotional outbursts—while supporting parents and families through the process. I have extensive experience working in residential treatment, supporting teens and families facing mental health challenges. I work collaboratively with teens and their caregivers to improve communication, rebuild trust, and create healthier, more connected relationships.

Whether your adolescent is struggling with mood swings, school stress, identity issues, or behavioral challenges, I provide a compassionate approach catered to the unique needs of each individual. Together, we can bring balance back to your family system and support your teen in developing emotional resilience.

I believe that emotional health and meaningful growth begin with safe, supportive relationships—and that’s exactly what I strive to offer every client and family I work with. I specialize in helping adolescents and their families navigate emotional dysregulation, communication breakdowns, and behavioral challenges that impact the entire household. My approach is warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative. I take time to truly hear your family’s story and partner with you to create a plan that meets your unique needs.

Drawing from a diverse range of evidence-based therapies—including family systems, DBT, and trauma-informed care—I tailor each session to the individual child and family. I stay grounded in the latest research while honoring the distinct dynamics that shape each family system. Whether you're facing intense emotional outbursts, anxiety, depression, identity struggles, or family conflict, I provide a structured yet flexible therapeutic space where healing, understanding, and connection can grow.

In therapy with me, you can expect a warm, engaging environment where both adolescents and parents feel heard, respected, and supported. I create a space where teens can safely express their emotions while guiding families toward healthier communication and deeper connection. Sessions are tailored to your teen or family’s unique dynamics, with a blend of practical tools, emotional insight, and evidence-based strategies that promote lasting change. I approach each session with curiosity, compassion, and a commitment to progress. My goal is to help your teen build resilience and self-awareness while empowering your family to grow together in a more connected and peaceful way.
