In working with adolescents, I find it important to be a trusting adult in their life and provide an environment where they will feel comfortable to open up.  I take a low-pressure approach and show attentiveness towards their interests and hobbies.  With teens, I engage in talk therapy as well as mindfulness and yoga.  I use supportive, behavioral, and cognitive behavioral therapy methods.  I am approachable and open-minded when working with adolescents and their families.  I feel strongly about including parents and caregivers in our work together.

I have expertise in the following areas:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Trauma(PTSD)
• Communication
• Self-harm
• Self-esteem and confidence
• Goal-setting
• School difficulty
• Divorce and separation
• Identity development
• Coping strategies and self-regulation
• Bullying
• Abuse
• Emotional regulation
• Time management
