***Currently Full and unable to take new clients***The teenage years can be some of the most challenging for both teens and their parents alike. They often feel misunderstood and alone while parents may feel helpless and disconnected from their teenager. I am here to help. Finding the "right fit" therapist for a teen is tough. You want your teen to be able to open up and feel comfortable. Well, hopefully you don't need to go much farther. I speak grouchy, anxious, and depressed teen fluently. I am known for just "getting it" in the teen world and teens truly enjoy coming to see me and doing the hard-work that counseling requires.
How do I help? I inspire teens to find themselves and empower them to take responsibility in their lives. We work on self-esteem, identity exploration, building coping skills, and also learn about healthy vs unhealthy relationships and boundaries. Not sure how to talk to your teen about therapy? Check out my videos on my website!
Children often ask for help in ways that frustrate parents most. Usually a child's way of communicating something is wrong, is by engaging in challenging behaviors that question our decision to become a parent in the first place. In addition to seeing teens, I also work with young children and their families to help restore peace to their homes.
