Therapy for Teens, Adults, and LGBTQ+ Clients

EMDR Trained • Anxiety & Stress Support • Gamer-Friendly Therapist

Serving New Castle, and Virtual Clients in PA & OH

If you’re feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or tired of holding everything together, you’re not alone. Many of the people I work with—men, teens, women, and LGBTQ+ clients—describe feeling like they have a lot going on inside and not enough steady places to put it. I offer therapy for teens and adults who want a grounded, real approach to working through stress, burnout, and major life changes.

Therapy doesn’t need to feel stiff, scripted, or uncomfortable. My approach is real, grounded, and actually useful—especially if you’re dealing with burnout, stress, emotional overload, relationship strain, or big changes in your life.

Whether you’re balancing work and relationships, struggling through school pressure, questioning your identity, or figuring out your next steps, therapy gives you a place to slow down and make sense of what’s going on. I keep sessions comfortable and low-pressure so you don’t feel like you have to show up pretending everything’s fine.

  • Irritability, anger, and emotional blow-ups
  • Depression, low motivation, or burnout

LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapy

I work with many LGBTQ+ teens and adults who want a therapist who actually gets it. This is a steady, affirming place to talk openly—without judgment or pressure.

I support clients with:
  • Exploring identity
  • Coming out conversations
  • Transition-related emotional needs
  • Family or relationship stress
  • Building confidence and feeling more like yourself

My goal is for you to have a space where you don’t have to explain or defend who you are.

Therapy for Men

A lot of guys come into therapy saying they’re “fine,” even when the pressure is piling up. If you’re burned out, shutting down, or frustrated with how things feel, you’re not the only one. 

I help men with:

  • Stress, anger, and emotional overload
  • Motivation and burnout
  • Relationship or communication struggles
  • Work pressure and expectations
  • Pulling out of withdrawal or shutdown
  • Figuring out next steps in life

You don’t have to say everything perfectly or have it all figured out. This is a space where you can be honest without needing to be “on.”

Therapy for Teens (12+)

Teens often don’t express stress with words—they show it through irritability, shutdown, avoidance, or emotional explosions. I offer a relaxed setting where they actually feel comfortable opening up.

It’s important that teens know they’re coming to therapy before they arrive. Therapy shouldn’t be used as a punishment or consequence. When teens feel included in the decision, rather than surprised or forced into it, they’re far more open, engaged, and successful in the process.

I support teens with:
  • School stress, grades, and motivation
  • Anxiety, irritability, and overwhelm
  • Social pressure or friendship issues
  • Low confidence or feeling “not good enough”
  • Identity, independence, and figuring out who they are
  • Managing emotions before they blow up
  • Graduation stress and decisions about the future
  • Adjusting from high school to college or new adult expectations

Parents often say, “They don’t talk to anyone,” but teens usually open up here because it feels low-pressure, steady, and relatable.

    Gamer-Friendly & Geek-Affirming Therapy

    As someone who is big into Magic: The Gathering and Pokémon in my downtime, I work well with clients who connect through gaming or geek culture. These interests are part of who you are—not something to hide in therapy.

    I SUPPORT GAMERS WITH:

    • Stress and burnout
    • Balancing online and offline life
    • Social connection
    • Anxiety and avoidance
    • Using gaming to decompress
    • Feeling misunderstood or “masked” offline

    Sometimes taking a few minutes to play something familiar helps ease into the session. That’s completely fine here.

    My Approach to Therapy

    My goal is to create a space where you can talk about real things without feeling judged, rushed, or overwhelmed. In session, we break things down into something you can actually handle.

    I use evidence-based approaches that help you understand yourself, build coping tools, and make progress in a way that feels natural—not forced.

    If you dread coming to therapy, we’re not going to make real progress. I keep sessions comfortable and low-pressure—if you’re cool, I’m cool. You’re welcome to bring a snack, your lunch, or your favorite drink or energy boost if that helps you settle in. This should feel like a place you can show up as yourself.

      My approach includes:

      • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
      • Person-Centered Therapy
      • Strengths-Based approaches
      • EMDR-informed strategies for trauma and emotional overwhelm
      • Mindfulness and grounding tools
      • LGBTQ+ affirming practices
      • Practical skills for stress, decision-making, and emotional regulation
      • Creative approaches like integrating gaming when helpful

      Clients describe sessions as steady, real, and genuinely useful.

      A Little About Me

      I understand that personal value, self-worth, and balance are at the center of the healing process. When I’m not in the office, you’ll find me commiserating over the Steelers, checking the waiver wire for fantasy football, gaming, or getting in a round of Magic or Pokémon with friends.

      Self-care isn’t one-size-fits-all. I look forward to helping you build something that works for your life—not someone else’s.
