Specialties / Teens & Young Adults

I've been on that side
of the room too.

Late high school through early career — identity, pressure, transition, and the questions adults don't always know how to sit with.

"I know what it's like to be 17 and in over your head and have adults around you who genuinely don't get it."

I spent years working in wilderness programs and residential treatment with teenagers before moving to private practice. I'm not working from a clinical abstraction of what it's like to be young and struggling — I was that kid. That matters.

The teenage and young adult years are when the patterns that will define the next decade start to form. Getting real support during this window, from someone who can actually meet you where you are, changes things.

I also work with parents — not to report on their kid, but to support the family system that shapes everything.

What teens and young adults bring
  • Identity: who am I, who do I want to be
  • Family dynamics and pressure
  • Anxiety, depression, loss of direction
  • Substance use and early experimentation
  • Transitions: HS → college → early career
  • Feeling unseen, misread, or "too much"
For parents
  • Your teenager is struggling and you can't reach them
  • You want support navigating the relationship — not just tactics
  • Something serious is happening: substances, school failure, withdrawal

Free 20-minute consultation. No commitment. A conversation to see if this is a fit.
