Overwhelmed students, teenagers, and young adults often wonder, “Can someone help me without making me feel even worse than I do right now?” I use CBT, ACT and IFS in creative and at times humorous ways to lighten the load and support my clients. Teens, and young adults are faced with constant decision making, competitive peer environments, and finish lines that keep moving. Parents and families also get swept up in the pressure of watching their loved ones encounter time sensitive obstacles.
Fortunately, there are many paths through this to a satisfying future. Rather than feeding your troubles and anxieties, a trustworthy, non-judgmental professional can help you organize them. In time, you may be able to see the forks in the roads ahead a little more clearly.
Through my education and professional experience, I’ve cultivated a special focus on working with teens, young adults, and their parents. I provide both individual and family therapy so that my support comes in where it’s needed most.
