Therapy for Teens

One of the most challenging, frustrating, unpredictable, and even awkward set of years in life are the teenage years. Trying to understand who you are, how you identify, how to balance friendship, love, and school work, ways to cope with friends and pain they bring you, how to deal with demands of parents, meeting expectations from everyone else especially when they don't align with what you want for yourself, and how to cope with and understand your emotions period can be EXTREMELY overwhelming on your mental health.

If you're a parent of a teen, it can feel impossible to connect with them, prove how much you care, and be who they need you to be in order to help. This is where I come in! My expertise and ample experience with adolescents/teenagers bring true results! I'm passionate about teen mental health, I truly relate, and I understand their strife. Allow me to be the one who helps navigate their struggle and make sense of it all. I desire to help them heal while also helping your relationship to heal and strengthen. I'm capable. I'm willing. I'm ready. Let's make the change happen!
