Therapy for Teens in California
Watching your teen struggle can be heartbreaking. You may feel distant or disconnected from your child, or unsure how to support them through anxiety, depression, trauma, peer challenges, or major life changes. You may find yourself constantly questioning what to do next- Do I step in? Do I back off? Am I making things worse? You don’t have to navigate this alone. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience working with teens and families. I provide trauma-informed therapy to help adolescents and parents better understand what’s happening and find more effective ways forward.

Compassionate, experienced therapy for teens and parents in California
As a former high school therapist with 10+ years of clinical experience I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where teens can express their thoughts and emotions.
