About
As a clinician shaped by lived experience, resilience, and personal struggle, I bring an authentic understanding of how identity, adversity, and real-world challenges intersect—and I use a strengths-based, culturally responsive approach to help clients build practical skills, reclaim confidence, and move forward with purpose.
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 11 years of experience supporting adolescents, young adults, and families through life transitions, identity development, and emotional regulation. I frequently work with neurodivergent individuals, including those with attention-deficit and autism spectrum concerns, as well as clients navigating anxiety, trauma, executive functioning challenges, and relationship stress.
I earned my master’s degree in social work from Fordham University. My approach is collaborative, strength-based, and practical, blending evidence-based therapy with real-life skill building to support emotional regulation, structure, and sustainable personal growth.
If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about what comes next, you do not have to navigate it alone. Therapy can be a supportive space to gain clarity, build confidence, and move forward at your own pace. I welcome the opportunity to support you on your journey

A common go-to approach for helping teens in counseling can include DBT, CBT, family therapy and sometimes interpersonal therapy. A preference is CBT therapy to see the benefit of how actions can be determined through thoughts and feelings and to connect them together for greater success in relationships and performance settings.
Common tools used in teen therapy is to include social interactions, self identity, replacing negative thoughts, identifying healthy responses to difficult situations, communication styles with peers and others, and reducing fears of unknown outcomes.
Meaningful progress can be measure by reports of increased relationships, decreased conflict in difficult situations, increased confidence in trying new things, and utilizing trusted adults when struggling with negative thoughts.
Clients can supplement their time in teen counseling with talking with trusted adults, talking to those they are comfortable around, communicating with others, replacing negative thoughts.
To prepare for the first session, a teen can understand their need for support, acknowledge their areas of learn, read upon the topic of teen therapy.
Teen counseling helps young individuals better understand and manage the challenges that affect their mental health. Common challenges amongst teens include anxiety, depression, ADHD, and problematic relationships with food.
Teen counseling works by using multiple techniques, tailored to fit the teen’s unique needs — based on their age group, their challenges, and the severity of their challenges. It might involve cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, art therapy, and others for varying ages. In any case, Thriveworks teen therapists in Dallas have the expertise and experience to help young individuals at their level.
Signs that teens might need Teen counseling can be very subjective, as they are experiencing many changes and can have intense reactions to them. As parents, you know your child best and are best equipped to judge whether certain reactions are standard behaviors for your teen or whether they might be hinting at a larger problem. Even so, there are a few common signs and events that often point to a need for therapy, such as experiencing divorce or loss, grief, consistent low moods, teens distancing themselves and becoming isolated, losing interest in hobbies, excessive anger or irritability, substance use issues, and suicidal ideation, among others.
Teen counseling providers at Thriveworks in Dallas, GA offer both in person and online therapy by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of teen counseling depends on your teen’s needs as well as the goals that you and their therapist might have for them. Generally, teen counseling sessions will last for several months.
