Adolescence is a time of rapid emotional, social, and developmental change. Teens may experience increased stress, mood shifts, identity exploration, and pressure from school, peers, family, or social media. Therapy offers a supportive space where teens can talk openly, feel understood, and build emotional awareness and coping skills during this period.

If you’re concerned about your teen, you’re not alone. From the beginning, we work together to determine the most appropriate level of parent involvement based on your teen’s needs, while honoring the importance of confidentiality in the therapeutic relationship. When appropriate, I also support parents with guidance and practical tools to use at home, so you feel informed and equipped while your teen is receiving care. My goal is to support your teen’s well-being and help them feel more grounded, understood, and supported.
