Progress looks different for every child. You may notice your child opening up more, managing emotions differently, feeling more confident, or navigating relationships with greater ease. We’ll track progress together and adjust treatment as needed—focusing on meaningful growth, not perfection.

Teens need a safe space where they can speak openly without worrying that everything they share will be repeated to their parents. I respect their privacy while keeping parents appropriately involved in their care. Before therapy begins, I’ll explain the boundaries of confidentiality, including situations where safety concerns require information to be shared.

That’s okay. Opening up takes time, especially when meeting someone new. I focus first on building trust and creating a space where your child feels comfortable being themselves—without pressure or judgment. Sometimes progress begins with simply showing up, feeling safe, and knowing they have someone who will listen.
