This is a therapy group for parents of high school juniors and seniors to prepare for college. This will start on May 6th 2025 for 4 sessions. This group is virtual. The session topics include: navigating launching your teen to college, how to access on campus supports, when and how to check in with your teen and how to manage emotions related to the transition.
Do you think you or your child/ teen/young adult is capable of more, but often falls short despite their abilities?
I am dedicated to helping you and your family achieve your goals. I use several different styles of therapy and will work with you to choose the best fit for you or your family. I believe families can be a large part of the therapeutic process and can be a huge source of support for clients.
Helping Adolescents Build the Skills needed to Effectively Interact With Others. Done in a group setting, focusing on the relationships formed within the group and relationships that children struggle at home or in school.
Life has many challenges. It's how you grow from your past that defines who you are in life. You may feel alone, misunderstood, and unfulfilled with your life or personal relationships. Perhaps you're having intense negative emotions. People typically enter therapy when they are in distress, although it's usually the long-term and underlying struggles that concern them the most. Initially, we will work quickly to address your immediate pain and provide relief. As therapy progresses, our focus may shift so you develop more positive and enriching relationships with yourself and others.
