The idea of therapy for many people can be scary in a lot of different ways. You may feel like it's an impossible step to take. Or maybe you feel a wall come up at the idea of possibly trusting a therapist. Whatever the case may be, I am here to respect and meet you where you are at. If you notice a mix of feelings or just feel ready to dive right in, that's welcome too; all parts of us are welcome here! Working with teens and young adults is a particular interest of mine. Navigating this portion of life can feel so de-stabilizing. Therapy can be a constant; a steady ground. Emotions can also feel particularly overwhelming during these stages of life. If you're struggling with regulating emotions or coping in general, you've come to the right place. Suicidal thoughts, self harm, or mood disorders might be part of your current experience. Let's explore those things together. Working within the framework of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Internal Family Systems Therapy, we can move through depression, anxiety, and extreme experiences, into the life you seek.
