I enjoy working with high schoolers, whether they feel ready for change or have doubts about counseling. Some teens begin therapy at a parent’s request and may be unsure if talking to another adult will help. My goal is to create a space where every client feels heard, respected, and understood.

Teens come to counseling with diverse experiences, values, and challenges. I see each client as a person—not a project, and focus on building trust and genuine connection. I strive to make therapy empowering, validating, and dare I say—fun.

Through experience, I’ve learned to be patient and do my best to avoid pushing when a client is hesitant. Every teen moves at their own pace, exploring the issues they’re ready to face. If we aren’t the right fit or additional support is needed, I’ll help connect a client with other options.

At the heart of good therapy is trust. For teens especially—a strong client-counselor relationship is the foundation for meaningful progress.
