Let's face it, raising teenagers is hard. No one prepares you for the day to day emotional challenges that come with caring for your teen. I will also tell you a little secret, it is also hard being a teen. Adolescence is a time where teens are figuring out who they are, where they fit in, all while trying to balance raging hormones and the never ending pressure to be someone else. Whether you are the parent struggling to communicate better with your teen, or the teen trying to navigate your burgeoning independence, my hope is to provide a warm space where healing and restoration can begin.
I have experience working with families/couples who experience relational conflict, divorce, remarriage, and who wanted to strengthen their relationship with each other and their child. I also work with teens, women, and older adults who struggle with trauma, infertility, life transitions, grief, self-esteem, self-worth, body image, anxiety, depression, etc.
If you find youself or your family in need of some help, I get it, it is scary, and you don’t want to just trust anyone. Professionally as an MFT, I understand the complexities of marriage and raising children. Personally, I have been married 19 years and have 2 teens and 1 young adult- I get it, it's hard!
