Bullies, loneliness, fitting in, relationships, classes, family relationships: these are some of the seemingly endless challenges you might face if you're a teen. Although you may have family and friends, it's hard to get the support you need. If you're depressed, anxious, afraid, lonely, or struggling with mental health, you don't have to do this alone. It is my honor and privilege to help you in this difficult time. I will work hard to give you the insights, support, and tools to cope with these problems and get to a place where you feel secure, confident, and calm again.
I will create an accepting and culturally sensitive space where you can feel seen, heard and valued. I will work collaboratively with you to understand and guide you in way that fits your particular problems and needs. I help you identify your strengths, teach you the skills you, and help you make changes in your school, family, and personal life.
