Your teen is going through a difficult time in their life. Teenage years are filled with self doubt, questioning identity, anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, relationship problems, family conflict, and school difficulties. A lot of teens keep their feelings and issues inside. It is normal for them to start to share less with their parents. Therapy can help your teen to open up to a professional about the issues they are experiencing and to process their feelings better so that they can feel their best. As a teen therapist, I build rapport rapidly with teens and they enjoy having a safe place to talk about their problems.

In my role as a therapist, I consider it a privilege to be a part of my client’s healing journey. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship to enhance insight, growth and change.

Engaging in therapy can assist you in restoring hope, increasing self-awareness, and improving your connection to yourself and others. Using a holistic perspective to understand my clients' presenting concerns, I strive to create a nonjudgemental space for my clients to bring all of who they are to our work together.
