I specialize in helping teenagers overcome anxiety so they can feel relief, build a clear sense of self, and reclaim their lives. As an LCSW, I combine clinical expertise with genuine connection, creating a non-judgmental space where teens feel safe enough to do the real work. I also involve parents directly, equipping you with concrete tools to support your teen between sessions, because lasting change happens at home too.
I integrate CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and somatic grounding techniques to give teens a practical, personalized toolkit for managing anxiety. Together, we identify your teen's unique triggers and build coping skills that fit their daily life. For parents, I offer coaching in co-regulation, low-arousal de-escalation, and assertive communication because a calm, grounded adult is one of the most powerful supports an overwhelmed teen can have.
The first session is about comfort and connection, not evaluation. We'll talk about what's been hard, what life looks like right now, and what your teen hopes to get out of therapy. I'll start to understand their specific anxiety triggers and which approaches might fit them best. By the end, both teen and parent will have a clear sense of what our work together will look like going forward.
