Life doesn’t move in straight lines.

Growing up involves a lot of trial & error and ‘figuring out’.

There are the changes we expect—starting high school, leaving home, entering adulthood, relationships beginning and ending—and the ones we don't. A move. A loss. A shift in family. A friendship that changes. Realizing that the person you've been doesn't quite fit anymore.

Sometimes the transition is less visible. You may simply feel uncertain about who you are, where you belong, or what comes next.

Maybe some of this feels familiar.

  • “I’m trying so hard. Why does it never feel like enough?”

  • “Everyone thinks I’m doing fine, but I’m so exhausted.”

  • “There’s so much happening and so much change. I just don’t know how to feel right now.”

  • “I’m always worried I’m disappointing someone.”

  • “I want to feel like I belong without having to try so hard.”

  • “I’m tired of feeling uncertain and overwhelmed, even when things should be simple.”

WAYS WE MIGHT WORK TOGETHER

Support for the in-between.


A place to slow your story down.

I don’t believe therapy is about fixing you or figuring out the “right” way to be.

I think of therapy as a place to slow your story down—to get curious about what you’re carrying, the relationships and experiences that have shaped you, the ways you’ve learned to adapt, and what matters to you now.

You don’t have to arrive knowing exactly what’s wrong or what to say. We can begin wherever you are, making room for who you’ve been and who you’re still becoming.


Therapy can look a little different here.

A session with me might start with breathwork and grounding, or we might chat about your day over a game of Uno. Or if it’s your style, we’ll jump right into mapping out where your patterns came up this week.

My approach is relational, curious, and collaborative. I’ll meet you where you are while helping you notice connections, understand yourself more deeply, and find ways of moving through life that feel more like your own.

About Me

Hi, I’m Praise!

I work with teens and emerging adults navigating the complicated process of becoming themselves.

My clinical foundation is relational and psychodynamic which means I'm interested not only in what you're experiencing, but in how your relationships, history, culture, environment, and ways of adapting have shaped the way you experience yourself and others.

I bring curiosity, warmth, and a sense of play into the room. Therapy with me isn't about analyzing you from a distance or handing you a script for how you're supposed to live. It's a space in which we can slow things down, become curious about what's happening, and make room for parts of your experience that may not have had much room before.

Looking for support for your teen?

Maybe you've been hearing:

“I'm fine.”
“I forgot.”
“Stop reminding me.”
“I don't know.”

And you're wondering what's actually happening underneath.

I aim to give teens a therapeutic relationship that feels genuinely their own while collaborating thoughtfully with parents when appropriate.

You don't have to have it figured out to begin.

Let’s connect. Whether you're reaching out for yourself, or looking for support for your teen, we can start with a brief consultation.

It's a chance for me to learn a little about what's bringing you to therapy, for you to ask questions, and for us to get a sense of whether working together might feel like a good fit.
