Are you worried about your teen?
Do you ask how she is doing and all you get is "fine" before the door is shut? 
Is his schoolwork suffering?
Does she seem more moody lately?


Behaviors like this can be more than 'just a stage.' While most teens may go through periods of moodiness and rebellion, for some this can be a sign of something more. Therapy can be a helpful place for your teen to talk about what is going on with an experienced professional. 
Counseling helps teens learn new skills, make positive choices, and be more in control of their emotions and behaviors.

It's important to find a therapist that can connect with your teen, to meet them them where they are and empower them to take the next best step.
I focus on helping teens who may be experiencing depression, anxiety, self-esteem, lack of motivation, substance abuse, risky behaviors, and many other issues that effect not just the teen but the entire family. 

My style is strength-based. Focusing on teens' small successes today and planning for larger successes in the future makes therapy enjoyable for them. Sometimes in order further the progress that begins in therapy, parents need to shift things at home. Parents can be part of therapy and learn how best to support their teen and the changes they want to see. Long-term problem resolution can be achieved through short-term therapy! Let's get started!
