The teen years offer significant challenges for children and parents alike. Children are faced with increasing social and academic demands while facing tough choices and greater responsibilities. Raging hormones and strained relationships do not make it any easier! Parents often feel frustrated and exhausted trying to help their child reach his or her full potential. Many times, the parent/child relationship becomes marked by fighting and power struggles. Parents and teens facing difficulty may find teen counseling effective and helpful. Finding a teen therapist specifically trained and experienced working with adolescents frequently provides the greatest benefit.

Life can be full of difficult challenges and sometimes we realize that our old ways of dealing with life setbacks aren't working. Counseling can be helpful in getting back on track and finding new ways to navigate those problems. I welcome a variety of issues and individual diversity.
