When your teen is having a hard time
Adolescence is hard enough without anxiety, school pressure, social media, and family changes piled on top. Sometimes a teen who was doing fine starts to pull away: grades slip, mornings become battles, or they stop talking about what’s going on.
I spent more than a decade in school-based mental health, including six years as a re-engagement specialist in Douglas County schools. I’ve worked with teens who had fallen off track and helped them find a way forward. I understand what teens are navigating—and the school systems around them.
What I help with
Families commonly reach out for support with:
- Anxiety and stress: perfectionism, panic, worry, and the pressure to have it all together
- Low mood and withdrawal: losing interest, isolating, or not seeming like themselves
- School avoidance and disengagement: missed days, falling behind, or a teen who has stopped trying
- Friendships and identity: social conflict, belonging, self-esteem, and figuring out who they are
- Family transitions: divorce, moves, blended families, or major changes at home
- ADHD and learning differences: support with attention, organization, and school-related challenges
Support at school
School can be one of the biggest sources of stress, and with the right support, one of the biggest sources of help.
With your permission, I can:
- Coordinate with teachers, counselors, and school staff so everyone is on the same page
- Help you make sense of 504 Plans, IEPs, and school support processes
- Prepare you for school meetings so you feel confident walking in
- Share strategies that work in therapy with the people who see your teen every day
- Help your teen learn to speak up for what they need
What families often notice
- A teen who feels more capable, calm, and like themselves
- Less conflict around mornings and homework
- Better communication, with fewer shut doors and more real conversations
- A school plan that genuinely supports their teen
How it works

- Intake session. I meet with the parent(s) and teen, together and separately, to understand the full picture.
- Ongoing sessions. Sessions are weekly or biweekly, with parent check-ins as needed.
Fee: $185 per session. Private pay; superbills are available for out-of-network reimbursement, and HSA/FSA cards are accepted.
Frequently asked questions
What ages do you work with?
Ages 12 and up.
My teen doesn’t want to come. What should I do?
That’s common, and it’s not a reason to wait. A consultation can help us decide how to approach it. Many reluctant teens warm up once they see that therapy isn’t another lecture.
