Teen and Family Counseling- Trauma Recovery
Meet the Team.
We are dedicated to creating hope and health and supporting change in the lives of teens and adults through counseling. We are licensed professionals who are committed to the legal and ethical guidelines of our profession and evidence-based treatments.
When working with teens and families, our approach focuses on avoiding blame. Instead, we explore how the whole family is affected by the problems you are experiencing and identify how each member can grow so that you all can function more harmoniously.
When supporting individuals in healing from traumatic experiences, we use a gentle, client-directed approach to support healing at the pace that is best for each individual. Healing from trauma is a very courageous act. We are honored to support someone through their journey.
We use several proven methods of therapy, including Family Systems, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Somatic Psychotherapy, and EMDR for trauma and abuse recovery.
Parents and teens are growing together. It’s a time of challenge and learning for everyone. Support to navigate the journey is what I love doing most.

You have two options. (1) You can pay the private pay rate. (2) Some insurance companies will reimburse some of the cost of therapy. Though this depends on if your insurance has “out of network” reimbursement as part it’s benefits. You’ll have to check with your insurance to see. If you have this benefit, your therapist can give you superbills (they’re fancy receipts for insurance companies). You can submit the superbills to your insurance company for reimbursement.
