Psychotherapy for teens and young adults

I help teens and young adults build a strong sense of self in the face of trauma, depression, loneliness, and anxiety.

There is nothing wrong with you. You are not doomed to feeling sad, disconnected, and lonely. Through our sessions, we work together to rebuild a strong, healthy sense of who you are and how you want to be in the world, flaws, strengths, and all, improving your mood and sense of connection.

 

Whether you’re a teen in high school or college or a young adult launching into working life, I create a safe, therapeutic environment to explore, experiment, and create, which can lead to positive and lasting change.

 

Learn how to befriend your emotions and use them as superpowers. Accept yourself with all your complicated parts. Contact me to discuss setting up an initial consultation.

Sorting out what you want to do with your life is overwhelming. You find yourself depressed, obsessing over the past and missing out on the present. The future feels murky and hopeless. You can create something beautiful and satisfying out of your experiences!

You’re feeling overwhelmed by school, your friends, and home life. Feelings of hopelessness and not being good enough are taking over. Concentrating on anything is really hard right now and it seems like you will never catch up. Everyone says it gets better, but you’re not so sure.
