Hi, I’m Lena!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I’m told that I’m easy to relate to. I like to keep things casual, and in my free time, I enjoy watching and playing sports, doing crafts, and pretty much anything Disney-related!

I know the world today can feel overwhelming. With constant pressure from school, social media, and everything else, it’s normal for teens to experience anxiety, depression, or fear. You’re not alone in this. I’m also trained in treating OCD, so if that’s something you’re dealing with, we can work through it together.

Here’s the thing: If you wake up every day facing challenges like depression, anxiety, or OCD, you’re already showing incredible courage. Being brave doesn’t mean feeling fearless—it means doing things even when you're scared. Together, we’ll focus that bravery on improving the things that are getting in the way of your happiness.

How I Can Help:

I work with teens ages 13 and older (and sometimes 10-12, depending on the situation) to help them navigate these tough feelings and situations.

Are We a Good Fit?

I’m all about setting goals and making progress. My approach is goal-oriented, and I use a mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to help you manage your symptoms. In our sessions, we’ll set clear goals, work on them together, and I’ll give you "homework" (skills to practice outside of therapy). The goal? To help you feel more in control of your life and give you the tools to confidently handle things on your own when we wrap up.

Let’s Take This Journey Together!

I’m here to support you every step of the way. You’ve got the courage—it’s time to channel it into feeling better.
