I help adolescents and teens (ages 12-18) facing a variety of challenges:
- Overcoming emotional issues: sadness, anger, rage, improving self-regulation
- Building self-esteem: extreme shyness, difficulty making friends or interacting with peers
- Improving behavioral problems: ADHD, pushing boundaries, disrespectful or oppositional behavior
- Adapting to change: divorce, loss, blended families, new schools, etc.
- Exploring adoptee-related issues
Specialties include working with frustrated parents and adoptive families – it is often important for the “problem” children and parents to work together for the best results.
I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues in children providing services that span from therapy for depression and anxiety, behavior modification, grief counseling, parenting support and beyond. In a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each of my clients’ individual needs to help attain the personal growth they’re striving for.
I enjoy teaching skills to adolescents and teens to help them:
Build self-esteem | Communicate with others |
Solve problems | Form healthy relationships |
Manage anger | Calm down and cope with challenges |
Express their feelings |
