TEENAGERS! Is your teen getting the best of you? Is your teen making you question your parenting ability? Is your teen feeling sad, confused, or overwhelmed by a transition, traumatic event, or life stress? If your answer is “YES!” to any of these, rest assured that you are not alone. You have come to the right place to get the help that your teenager needs and the support that you deserve. Through the use of humor, flexibility, firmness and fairness I have developed a unique ability to connect with even the most therapy resistant kids. I will help them through their struggles in a warm and trusting atmosphere.

In the course of therapy we will work on: Self-esteem, impulse control, frustration tolerance, anger management, organizational skills, social skills, self discipline, empathy, substance abuse (if applicable), healthy expression of feelings and anything else that comes up. We will also have family sessions to make sure that we are on track.

I have worked with a variety of school systems for 7 years. I can offer you my knowledge and support in school meetings related to behavior problems as well as special education meetings where IEP and 504-plans are reviewed and established.

6 to 8 sessions can lead to a significant positive change for teens and their families. I will be honored to contribute to positive changes in your family. I invite you to visit my website and learn more about my services: <url removed>
