Individual Therapy for Adults and Adolescents
Experience more confidence in yourself and more clarity about your identity, values and life goals.
It’s not uncommon to feel unhappy every so often; to be unfulfilled or lost, unsure of the direction your life is headed.
This can be due to growing pains, big life changes or transitions (like losing a loved one, getting married, entering retirement, or coming out) or by disruptions in an important relationship, your health, or your school or work life. Other times you may not know or understand why you’ve been feeling a bit depressed or anxious, or acting in ways you don’t understand – there may not be a specific cause you can identify.
Whether you know what’s troubling you or need support to figure it out (or maybe both!), I’m here to help.
Adults may be struggling with
- Sadness and depression
- Worry and anxiety
- Relationship distress
- Major life changes (like divorce, career changes, a move)
- Family relationships and conflict
- Grief and loss
- Long-standing patterns of problematic behaviors
- Sexuality concerns
- Childhood trauma
- Health concerns
Adolescents may be struggling with
- Depression and sadness
- Anxiety and fear
- Behavior problems or “acting out”
- Peer and social relationships
- Parent-child relationships
- Adjusting to divorce or blended families
- Adoption and attachment
- Grief and loss
- Health/body concerns
- Sexuality questions
- Self-esteem and resilience
- Identity questions (gender/sexual orientation, race and ethnicity, family of origin, religion/spirituality)
- Self-worth
I guide and support individuals who are ready to put in the work to live a happier, more meaningful life.
Whether you have specific, short-term goals that you’d like help achieving, or you’re ready for a deeper exploration of long-standing patterns that have become problematic, we’ll work together to develop a clear path forward.
My approach always takes into account how to help you derive strength and support from sustaining relationships in your life, and also how to rely on a strong sense of self-worth and self-compassion for facing challenges and achieving your goals.
When working with teens, I stay in close communication with parents/caregivers and work collaboratively to help your child feel safe, supported, and strong.
