I'm a therapist specializing in working with teens and young adults, focusing on anxiety, perfectionism, addiction, and neurodivergence, particularly ADHD and concussion/TBI. In my practice, I help teens understand that anxiety is not an enemy to be feared but a signal to be understood and harnessed. Together, we work on strategies to manage anxiety effectively, allowing it to serve as a guide rather than a ruler. By shifting this perspective, teens learn to recognize anxiety's presence as a normal and manageable part of their lives, building resilience and gaining control over their emotional responses. In my practice, I help teens uncover the hidden damage beneath perfectionism’s rewards and guide them in shifting their focus from mere achievement to true fulfillment. My goal is to help teens understand their strengths and develop strategies to harness these abilities and reach their full potential. If you're a parent seeking help for your teen, know that you're not alone. Together, we can help your teen build self-esteem, resilience, and the skills they need to navigate life's challenges. Let's work together to support your teen in becoming the best version of themselves.
