Pre-Teens & Teens
If you're a teen reading this — therapy with me isn't about being fixed, diagnosed, or told what to feel. It's a space where you don't have to perform, filter yourself, or have it all figured out. Just you, exactly as you are.
If you're a parent reading this — I know reaching out for your teen takes courage. I work in a way that respects your teen's privacy and autonomy while keeping you appropriately informed. We'll figure out what that looks like together.
I offer in-person sessions in San Clemente and virtual therapy throughout California for preteens and teens ages 10–18.
