I help socially anxious adolescents to identify areas where they can improve their social skills, and then teach them tips and tricks to improve those skills. I can help your teen learn how to gain and keep more friends, as well as become more confident in social situations.
There is a big difference between assertive and aggressive... There are times when it's important to speak up, and times when it's better to let a perceived slight roll off your shoulder. Your teen will learn options for responding in a helpful and effective manner.
Empower your teen with this "gift of a lifetime" ...

I help teens sift through their past experiences for nuggets of wisdom, and reframe unpleasant memories as opportunities for growth. I also support them in setting healthy boundaries, and show them how to prepare for future situations that they might deem uncomfortable. If your teen or young-adult child is struggling socially, I can help you to discover the cause and remedy it.
