Being a teenager can be sometimes be really challenging. While there are good days - and even great ones - there can also be days that feel overwhelming, confusing, or just plain awful. You're figuring out who you are, becoming more independent, and managing changes in your relationships with family and friends. On top of that, school or work might feel more demanding, and your brain and body are going through huge changes that can affect how you think, feel, and respond to the world around you.

 

Lots of teens come to see me when they’re feeling anxious, stressed, sad, angry, or just not quite themselves. Some are dealing with friendship or family issues, struggling with body image or self-confidence, or trying to make sense of something big that’s happened in their lives. Whatever it is, therapy is a space where you don’t have to pretend everything’s okay. It’s a space where you can talk openly with someone who isn’t going to judge you - and who has tools and strategies that can actually help.

 

We’ll work together to understand what’s going on for you and come up with ways to cope that feel realistic and useful - not just now, but for whatever life throws your way in the future.
