Does your teenager seem angry, irritable, or more moody lately? Is it tough to communicate with them? Does it seem like they are always hiding out in their room or, maybe, they're never home anymore? These scenarios may look like changes in their personality, but they could be signs of emotional distress, depression, anxiety or another issue. So many teens are stressed and don't know how to ask for help. As their parent, you always try to listen and be there for them, but they just reject any attempt you make to help them. Did you know that teens tend to find it easier to open up to an objective stranger, like a therapist?

When people come to therapy they sometimes have a list of concerns and are not sure how to address them. I am an LCSW & LCADC who has been practicing for 25 years. I received my MSW from NYU and I have an interactive style. Some of the conditions I treat include bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, postpartum, & ADHD. I use CBT and was certified in DBT. I treat teenagers, adults, & families. I will diagnose conditions, provide therapeutic interventions appropriate for that diagnosis, and will provide education regarding additional referrals to additional supports if needed. I can also provide clinical supervision for LCSWs.
