Therapy for teens with stress and anxiety in Evanston, IL

Is school and social stress becoming unmanageable?


Maybe the transition to a new school has been more difficult than you anticipated, or perhaps your grades are slipping. You may be struggling to find your friend group, or simply feeling like you don’t want to go to school. Perhaps it seems like no one understands you.

Whatever it is that you’re experiencing, you’re beginning to notice the impact of this in every part of your life:

  • Struggling to focus and keep up with school.

  • Arguing with your parents or family members.

  • Keeping to yourself rather than socializing.

It may feel impossible now, but you can enjoy school again. You can feel like you fit in. You can improve your grades.

Therapy can help you…

  • Gain self-awareness.

  • Identify patterns within yourself and your world that are not enhancing your life.

  • Develop coping strategies so you can feel calm and confident in school and with your peers.

I’ll help you through this process, tailoring each step to your unique needs and circumstances. Eleven years of experience as a school social worker prepared me to work with clients like you. My approach to therapy with teens is direct and genuine: learning new tools in a supportive environment can bring significant relief in a short amount of time.
