Teens can be a challenging age group to work with- both for parents and the therapist! Knowing that going in allows me to establish a safe place for your teen where they can feel connected and understood. Knowing that parents want to be that “go-to” person for their teens, I can help you figure out how to reconnect to your teen and be their support person instead of their perceived adversary. Some common issues I work with in counseling teens:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Peer relationships
• Problems at school
• Separation from parents and becoming an adult
• Identifying values and sense of self
• Navigating media time and social media
• Any other life changes such as moving, parents separation, divorce, remarriage, etc
