Therapy for Teens in Austin, Texas
Your struggle is not your identity.
for teens needing support with anxiety, grief, trauma or self-esteem.
Adolescence is already a tumultuous time of change to begin with. Tack on anxiety, grief, or trauma, and it can begin to feel downright unbearable. Unattended mental health issues such as intrusive thoughts, fear, hopelessness, irritability, numbness or withdrawal can lead to escalated conflict at home and school, failing grades and poor physical health.
If you’re here to get help for your teen, I want you to know you’re not alone. The stressors of teen and family life can be overwhelming. I am here to offer both individual and family sessions.
Sound like your teen?
Struggling with peer relationships.
Overly critical/hard on self.
Irritable more often than not.
Withdrawing from others/staying in their room.
Here’s what we’ll do together
Therapy can help your teen express their feelings and build coping skills with anxiety, anger and depression.
I’m passionate about working with teens and currently offer therapeutic services for middle and high school teens age 11 and up. Therapeutic work may focus on emotional challenges or relationship difficulties. Therapy sessions can be done virtually or in person.
With teens, I focus on building trust and safety. As connection is built, I use a cognitive-behavioral approach to target unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Together we will focus on strengths and practice new ways of managing difficult emotions so that your child leaves therapy feeling more confident and resilient. I also offer parent-child sessions to help build communication between family members and strengthen relationships.
I utilize a variety of approaches with teens including Emotionally Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, creative therapies including art, writing and sandtray therapy. In our work together, I will honor their interests and strengths and create a treatment plan tailored to meet their needs.

At the end of the day, I want you to know:
Past experiences don’t have to continue holding your teen back. They are stronger than they believe. With therapy, they can begin to heal and find their worth.
What we’ll work on
Imagine a life where…
Your teen is smiling again.
Home doesn’t feel like a war-zone.
Your teen is connected to their self and others.
Their past struggles no longer define them and they are embracing new opportunities.
