Adolescent Counseling with a Therapist/Teacher (MSW, MEd) –

Building Skills, Resilience and Optimism

The Joys and Pains of Growing Up.

On the brink of adulthood but still a child in many ways. Bad decisions and poor choices follow good ones. 

Happy moods quickly turn into negative ones.

Highs, Lows, and I Don’t Knows.

It seems as if adolescence is a constant roller coaster of ups and downs, changing not just day to day but minute to minute. Your teenager probably doesn’t even know why he or she feels, thinks, and acts the way they do.

Remembering, But Still Worried.

You remember being a teenager yourself, but that doesn’t give you any more insight into what to do. 

You hear so many stories about teens in the news, and you are worried. Worried about their current situation and their future. You’ve prepared them well so far, but what happens next?

Navigating the Challenges of Adolescence.

Young people are facing a wide range of challenges from school pressures to interpersonal relationships to social media influences. 

The level of stress, depression, and anxiety among adolescents is epidemic and are often accompanied by devastating consequences.

Guidance for Your Adolescent.

I work with teenagers to develop resiliency, optimism, and self-confidence as well as developing positive behaviors such as assertiveness and social skills. As a clinical therapist and high school teacher, I am aware of all the ways that school, friends and family, and life can impact adolescents. I can help.
