For parents and students alike, adolescence can be a turbulent time. Witnessing our children struggle can be stressful and heartbreaking. It takes a lot of patience, understanding and adjusting to meet the needs of kids in this age group. It's not uncommon for parents to feel that they are engaging in one power struggle after the next...or perhaps feeling a sense of guilt, frustration or helplessness, as they start to question the effectiveness of their parenting and/or the overall emotional well-being of their son or daughter.
As we progress, our needs often change. Transitioning into high school, college and/or a career ushers in new challenges. As young adults strive towards independence and finding success, unexpected challenges can often stall that progress. My background and experience can lend that helping hand in a safe, respectful and nonjudgmental approach.
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with over 25 years of experience working with teens, families, and young adults. I have conducted parenting education classes and professional seminars on topics such as depression, bullying, teen substance abuse (including vaping), self-injury, suicidal thoughts and school-related concerns.
