Welcome!
Are you feeling like you do not understand your teenager? Do you feel like your teenager is struggling and you don't know what to do? Are you having a difficult time communicating with your teenager? Have you tried to understand your adolescent or help them solve their problems but are just getting more frustrated? Counseling might be the help you need. Many parents pursue teen counseling to obtain some understanding and coping strategies for themselves and their teen. I know this is hard and you've likely been debating seeking help for months, if not years. But I'm so glad you found me and have taken the courageous step of being here.
Imagine your teen being happier and successful, feeling less anxious, depressed, or irritable - it is within your reach. You would be able to focus less on your teen because you know they are being seen and their challenges have been addressed in counseling. During conversations with work colleagues or family members, you could actually relax and smile because you are proud of what your teen has accomplished and know they are feeling better and able to handle things. This is what would happen if you brought your teen into counseling with me.
"In order for children to learn how to do hard things, you have to let them go through hard times. There is no way to truly master something without experiencing it."
I'm confident that together we can work to help equip you with the necessary tools to help you face and overcome these challenges. Whether you are struggling with trying to manage your adolescent's anxiety or just trying to handle the stress of raising teenagers, it is important that you know you don't have to be alone in this journey. I have the experience to help you achieve your goals and help your adolescent, assist you in providing your adolescent with the necessary support to overcome their struggles, and live a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
