Teenagers, in my opinion, are some of the most magnanimous yet misunderstood people on the planet. The mind, hormones, and emotions of a teenager can be aptly compared to a construction site in a hurricane. Their developing social cognition makes them more sensitive to others’ judgments and they experience heightened self-consciousness as they try to form their identity and find their place in the world. And yet they are incredibly inventive, buoyant, and robust. I admire them so much.

​

I work with teenagers to help them understand themselves, their unique gifts and challenges, and their place in the rapidly changing world around them. I help them identify the power of their agency within the circumstances of their own lives and create beliefs about themselves that align with their individual core values.

​

I meet my teen clients where they are and engage with them through compassionate, non-judgmental listening and validation, which are crucial during this vulnerable developmental stage. I also help them develop healthy “discomfort” skills to buoy their self-confidence and their ability to show up as their true, amazing selves.

As adults, we no doubt possess a wealth of experience and wisdom. We’ve done brave things and conquered significant obstacles in our lives. However, we’re often very attached to subconscious narratives that generate recurring problems and pain for us. Using a variety of tools and a well-trained listening style, I help adults carefully question their limiting beliefs through increased self-awareness and validation. We identify patterns that no longer serve them and create strategies to generate new beliefs that drive transformed perspectives, emotions, actions, and, ultimately, powerful new outcomes in their lives.

These life-changing results are available to anyone willing to do the work. It simply requires curiosity, self-reflection, honesty, accountability, and a healthy dose of gritty determination. We begin in the present and consciously work toward making changes that align us with our fundamental values and future aspirations. There is nothing quite as rewarding as becoming the person you were created to become, irrespective of life’s circumstances.
