Therapy for Teens Feeling Stressed, Misunderstood & Overwhelmed

You see your teen struggling but you have NO clue where to start…

As a parent, it’s heartbreaking to watch your teen struggle and feel powerless to help. You’ve tried talking, listening, and offering advice—but nothing seems to work. Maybe they don’t know how to express what they’re feeling, or maybe they’re afraid you won’t understand.

Maybe right now, your teen…

  • Stresses over school, grades, and never feeling “good enough.”

  • Feels left out, lonely, or frustrated with friends.

  • Bottles things up or gets angry and upset for reasons that don’t seem to make sense to you.

  • Spends more time in their room, avoiding conversations or just may not seem to be interacting with you and the family much.

  • Gets defensive or shuts down when you try to help.

  • Says they’re “fine” when you can tell they’re not.

Is your teen struggling? Here’s what to look for…

Every teen experiences stress, but when it starts affecting their daily life, counseling can help. Here are some signs your teen may need extra support:

  • Overthinking and worrying about things that seem small or irrational.

  • Feeling like they have to be perfect, making daily life stressful

  • Crying, shutting down, or feeling overwhelmed with no clear cause.

  • Distancing themselves from friends and family.

  • Friendships or relationships that seem unhealthy or one-sided.

  • More mood swings, irritability, or snapping at loved ones..

Helping your teen face their struggles, handle overwhelm, and find peace within…

For more than a decade, I’ve worked closely with teens facing anxiety, depression, self-doubt, and the weight of life’s pressures. I’ve seen firsthand how overwhelming this stage of life can be—and I know how to connect with teens in a way that makes them feel safe, heard, and supported.

If your teen is struggling, I know how much you want to help. You’ve probably tried everything—offering advice, giving space, searching for the right words—but nothing seems to get through. That’s where I come in. My goal is to help your teen build the confidence, coping skills, and self-awareness they need to move forward. Whether that means finding balance at school, improving friendships, or simply feeling better each day, I want them to know that things can change.

I love helping teens rediscover joy, strengthen their relationships, and build a life that feels worth looking forward to. I’d love to do the same for your teen.
