ADOLESCENTS
It can be scary and frustrating when your child doesn’t seem like themselves. You feel like you have tried everything and you are worried it will get worse. Teenagers often struggle understanding and expressing their emotions and don’t always know to ask for help. They are experiencing more pressures from school, peers, and social media than ever before which can lead to decreased self-esteem, increased depression and anxiety, and overwhelming loneliness. When dealing with experiences and emotions, destructive behavior can often be their response and way to cope. Therapy for adolescents and teens can help them improve their overall functioning at home, school, within the family, and with peers.
Individual Therapy
I believe one of the most important aspects of working with adolescents is forming a compassionate relationship with them. I provide a non-judgmental space for everyone to express their thoughts and emotions openly. Therapy is a safe space to talk about anything and everything that is bothering you.
I have a broad range of experience and expertise in providing therapy to adolescents in a variety of settings, including individual and group outpatient therapy, day treatment programs, and in schools.
