If you’re looking for a teen therapist in Santa Monica, you’re in the right place. I work with adolescents and families across West Los Angeles to support anxiety, identity development, and relationship challenges.

Support for Teens Navigating Anxiety, Stress, and Identity

Adolescence can be an exciting yet challenging time. Many teens in Santa Monica and the greater Los Angeles area are navigating new stressors, including peer and family dynamics, academic pressure, social expectations, and the complexities of identity exploration.

During this stage of life, it’s common for teens to experience anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, substance use concerns, or parent–child conflict. These challenges can feel intense—for both teens and their families—but support can make a meaningful difference.

How Teen Therapy in Santa Monica Can Help

As a teen therapist in Santa Monica, I support adolescents who may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to cope with what they’re experiencing.

Teen therapy provides a supportive, non-judgmental space where adolescents can:

• Talk openly about their thoughts and emotions

• Better understand themselves and their experiences

• Learn healthy coping strategies

• Improve communication and relationships

• Build confidence and emotional resilience

My Approach to Teen Therapy

My approach is curious, compassionate, and non-judgmental—meeting teens exactly where they are.

I focus on creating a safe and trusting environment where adolescents feel comfortable exploring their emotions, identity, and life experiences. Together, we work toward developing healthier coping strategies, strengthening emotional regulation, and increasing self-understanding.

With over seven years of experience supporting adolescents, young adults, and families across outpatient, residential, and acute inpatient settings, I bring both clinical depth and a genuine passion for helping teens navigate this important stage of life.

Helping Teens Build Confidence and Resilience

In our work together, we may focus on:

• Managing anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm

• Navigating identity development and self-esteem

• Strengthening family and peer relationships

• Building communication and coping skills

• Supporting teens through life transitions and challenges

My goal is to help teens feel more grounded, confident, and connected to themselves and others.
