Teen Therapists in Salem, OR

As a child or adolescent reaching out to a stranger for counseling can be a big step-even scary at first. Sometimes knowing what to expect can be one of the biggest hurdles to clear. I view the counseling environment as a place where people can bring their problems and their perspective into an environment where they can feel heard. I believe that both children and adolescents bring their own set of unique strengths into counseling. I have found that building off of those strengths is one key to success in working with my clients.

My practice focuses on people who want to enjoy greater peace and more satisfying relationships. I’m pleased to serve children, adolescents, and adults. The emphasis of my work includes treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, interpersonal difficulties, psycho-spiritual issues, ADHD, and child/ adolescent behavior problems.

Looking for someone to help you through a situation that feels too big or too hard to tackle on your own? Well, you do not have to do it alone. We all have times in our life when we feel overwhelmed and need help finding our way. The first step in your healing journey is to reach out and ask for help. This can feel scary sharing your challenges with someone else and yet it can be just the thing you need, to know you are not alone. We are wired for connection and healthy connection is tremendously important to our health and happiness. So remember it is healthy to ask for help because we're not meant to do it alone.

Life is a continual marathon, growth is an ongoing process, success is not defined by a tangible finish line and we as humans can do hard things; however, sometimes seeking therapy helps us get through hard things with the help and guidance of another person. At times, we are able to manage and navigate our struggles and other times our struggles are overwhelmingly difficult.

I strive to provide a non-judgmental, welcoming, environment and safehaven to explore the choices and changes each client makes as they navigate this ever changing world. I draw from both, but am not limited to, client-centered and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) approaches, and seek to empower my clients to take control of their current and future lives.

We have all faced obstacles at some point in our lives and will continue to do so because of events often outside of our control. There are many circumstances that can overwhelm: Depression; Anxiety; Anger; Grief/Loss; Violence; Bullying; Trauma; Work; Family life; Divorce; Behavioral issues; Worry; School; this list is endless. Whether they are past, present or future, sometimes it is nice to have someone to support you.

As parents, we sometimes experience pain when others are negatively judging our children's behaviors. This can occur when our children don't listen to us or get into trouble at school. Such experiences may cause us to doubt our parenting ability, creating a feeling of failure. As a child counselor, I understand that children sometimes "act up" during difficult life transitions, like a divorce, parental incarceration, foster care, financial stress, moving to a new home, school, or the loss of a loved one. If you and/or your child need help, please don't wait any longer, now is the time to start working towards your goal!
