I have a passion for supporting adolescents navigating intense emotions and behavioral challenges. I truly enjoy working with those struggling with anger management or defiance, as I believe these "difficult" moments often signal unmet needs. I focus on building a genuine connection where teens feel heard, helping them transform frustration into self-awareness and practical coping tools.
