Are you a millennial and honestly just don’t know what’s going on? I’ve been there. Sometimes we don’t even know where to start. Sometimes therapy is about healing something specific like a breakup or a toxic relationship with a parent.

If you feel like something’s off, but you’re not really sure why or what to do, that’s totally normal.

Is your kid/teen a blackbelt in avoiding responsibility, arguing their way out of any disagreement, or spending more time doing what they want to rather than what you’ve asked them to over and over again?

When it comes to kids/teens who have mastered these ancient arts however, this approach rarely seems to work. Finding ways to help young people that isn’t perceived as scolding, lecturing, or punishing is my focus, and teaching them how to make peace with their inner world is my goal.
