If you’re a parent of an adolescent struggling with mental health, know that you don’t have to manage these struggles alone. Feeling helpless about not knowing another way to deal with your child’s presenting problems is difficult. But I'm here to tell you that there is no “wrong” way to parent your child with mental health challenges. I can help both you and your beloved adolescent connect, build resiliency, and manage developmental challenges. We’ll work on communication and improving interactions between you and your child, and I will support you in making informed decisions about your adolescent’s mental health.
Chances are that your teenager feels that you don’t understand them. They might feel as if something is wrong with them or that they don’t belong. It’s important to me that you and your family are involved in your child’s treatment. I provide structural family therapy, trauma-focused CBT, and solution-focused and person-centered therapy.
My ability to connect with adolescents, young women, and their families is what sets me apart from other providers. I value authenticity, compassion, honesty, kindness, and respect. The therapeutic relationship is the most important part of a successful therapy experience. I’ll be here to make you and your child feel seen, listened to, and understood.
