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
