Does your teenager seem disconnected or withdrawn?

Does your teen seem to be struggling with their appearance?

Is your teen struggling with bullying or feeling like they don't fit in?

Is excessive worry, anxiety, or feelings of anger keeping your teenager from living a joyful and fulfilled life?

Is your teen having problems at school or with their grades?

Has your teen been struggling to process changes in their mood, sleep patterns, weight, appetite, or friends?

Is your teen feeling a lack of interest in activities they used to like?

Is your family going through a big transition like a divorce or a move?

I am an experienced adolescent therapist based in Portland, Oregon, and working online with clients throughout all of Oregon and California.

If you have noticed any of the above questions arise, you may find individual therapy for your teen helpful. Adolescence is a time of many changes. Complications around identity, navigating social media, relationships, self-esteem issues, life transitions trying to fit in, and trying to find one's place in the world can be very overwhelming.

Therapy can help adolescents learn how to connect to their feelings and express them in healthy ways, rather than keeping them buried or turning to unhealthy methods of coping.

I help my adolescent clients navigate the changes in their lives by providing a safe place to process their feelings, talk through their challenges and connect to healthier, more adaptive ways of dealing with life's stressors.

I help my clients get in touch with their inner resilience and strengths and learn what it is about themselves that makes them unique. Therapy is a process of self-discovery and figuring out one's place in the world. If you would like to learn more about what this work looks like, please schedule a free consultation.
