I have extensive experience in working with adolescents, and I love working with them. I aim to provide your teen with a comfortable and meaningful experience.
Due to social and academic pressures, and developmental changes in the brain, teens tend to have a harder time than adults. Working both as a teen therapist and at a teen hotline, I have found that teens are often struggling much more internally than they tell adults.
Teens can often benefit from working with a therapist who is not part of their everyday lives. I have been told for many years that I have a knack at working with teens. I believe they enjoy working with me, as much as I enjoy working with them.
This is your child, and you want to make sure you are picking the right person to support him/her. I totally get it.
Some teen challenges I work with include:
- Decline of grades
- Anger
- Relationship issues
- Bullying
- Divorce
- Sadness
- Substance use
- Perfectionism
- Anxiety and panic attacks
- Procrastination
- Self-harm
- Suicidal thoughts
