Adolescence is an intense time in one’s life where a child's identity is changing and evolving. Often, teens are torn between childhood and adulthood feeling lost and out of control. I provide therapy for adolescents a safe, supportive space for your teen to come open up while exploring their identity, relationships, fears and goals. I understand that no two teenagers are alike, I take the time to thoroughly get to know each one of my teenage clients, focus on their individual strengths to meet their specific needs and goals by mastering the right treatment approach. I respect the opinions of my adolescent clients, rather than overflowing your teen with advice I simply engage in conversation, encourage critical thinking and effective problem-solving while really listening to what my teenage clients are trying to communicate. My goal is to become a trusted adult in your teen’s life and support them as they try to navigate the day to day struggles of being a teenager during these intense times.
