Mental Health Care for Teenagers & Adolescents Online in NY, CO, & TN.
Helping your teen cope, connect, and come back to themselves.
When your child is struggling with their mental health, it’s hard to see the best path forward.
But now you’re here. And you don’t have to figure it out alone anymore.
It’s heartbreaking to watch your child pull away, shut down, or lose interest in the things they used to love. Maybe they’re not talking to you, not going out with friends, or falling behind in school, and you’re left wondering what’s really going on and how to help.
I work with teens every day who are anxious, withdrawn, overwhelmed, and beyond. Together, we can find the right next steps for yours.
I support teens & adolescents who are struggling with…
Anxiety
Depression
Socialization issues & bullying
Keeping up with schoolwork
Isolating
Communicating their feelings
Maybe you’ve already tried therapy, but still feel stuck.
If therapy alone isn’t enough, we can explore adding another layer of support.
Maybe your teen has a therapist they like, but their symptoms aren’t improving, or they’re still struggling to function day-to-day. That doesn’t mean something is wrong with them (or you), it just means they may need something more.
Medication can feel like a big step, but it doesn’t have to be scary or confusing. I’ll help you understand what each one does, why I’m recommending it, and what your options are.
How I can help
Let’s figure out what can help them feel like themselves again.
When I work with your teen, I make space for both them and you, their caregiver, to be heard. I take time to explain what’s going on—what the symptoms they’re having actually mean, how medication can help, and why I’m suggesting certain options. I want them to feel involved, not just “talked at.” Teens do better when they understand what’s happening and get to take part in decisions about their care.
I also make sure parents feel supported, especially when it comes to navigating the day-to-day challenges. Whether your teen is withdrawing, lashing out, struggling in school, or just not acting like themselves, I’ll help you understand what treatment might look like and why. I work closely with both your teen and you to create a plan that feels effective and sustainable, not just like a quick fix.
Imagine a life where…
Your teen seems more like their old self.
They’re not moping in their room all day or shutting you out. They’re laughing again and back to doing things they enjoy.
School and daily life stop feeling like a constant battle.
They can keep up with schoolwork, manage routines, and get through the day without feeling overwhelmed.
Social situations don’t feel so uncomfortable.
They’re not isolating, they’re starting to connect with peers in a way that feels good.
You don’t feel like you’re parenting in the dark.
You know what’s going on with your child, you know who to turn to with questions, and you finally feel like you’re part of a team—not just guessing.
Your family feels more at ease.
You’re not walking on eggshells or constantly worried about their future. You both finally feel like there’s a steady path forward.
Your teen deserves to feel okay—and you deserve some peace of mind.

FAQs
-
Not necessarily. A lot of my teen clients have been in therapy before, but some haven’t—especially if it’s been hard to find someone who takes insurance. I’m always happy to refer to a therapist if I think they’d benefit from both.
-
For teens under 18, I keep parents updated, but I also respect the teen’s privacy. For young adults over 18, I only talk with parents if the client gives me permission—and even then, I only do that with the client present.
-
That’s completely okay. I’ll never push anything your teen isn’t comfortable with. I take the time to explain what medication does, what it doesn’t do, and what choices we have. The goal is to help them feel better—not force anything.
-
I often work with kids who are struggling to focus, feeling anxious about going to school, or falling behind due to depression. If bullying, social isolation, or emotional overwhelm are in the mix, we talk about that too.
-
That depends on how you're doing. At first, it’s usually every 4–6 weeks, but if things are stable, we can space it out. I also understand cost and time are factors, and I’ll work with you to find a cadence that feels doable.

I’m not currently able to see clients with Medicare, and I don’t treat individuals with very severe mental illness—like those with a schizophrenia diagnosis—as I work exclusively via telehealth, and I believe that kind of care is best done in person. I also don’t provide first-time ADHD evaluations for adults. If you’re unsure whether we’d be a good fit, feel free to reach out, I’m happy to point you in the right direction if I’m not the best option.
