Is your pre-teen or teen-age child unusually irritable, withdrawn, sad, angry or tearful? Teens will often open up to therapists when they don't talk to parents. If your teen is refusing school, or not enjoying life, s/he may be struggling with anxiety or depression, inadequate social skills, bullies, feeling different, sexual identity, parental divorce, or body image worries. I offer a warm, nurturing and safe environment for adolescents to share their feelings and start to feel better about themselves. I enjoy helping adolescents and parents find their way during these difficult times.
My approach is caring and direct with a good sense of humor. In individual or group sessions, you can develop and improve parenting skills, learn how your teen needs you to listen, and begin enjoying your child again. The battles at home don't have to continue. Call me today for a free consultation.
