Practice Description
“Are you a parent that is overwhelmed by the new realities of today's teen life? From the internet to cell phones, to media saturation, dangerous club drugs,high tuition costs,and a high divorce rate,even the most protected kids are exposed to these elements. I will work to help you and your teen stay connected. I will challenge the boundaries of "teen privacy" and promote greater transparency betweeen you and your loved one. Working in a highly interactive and compassionate manner, I will use my skills to support your teen and to keep you involved in the process. Working with difficult issues as depression, anxiety, oppositional behavior, anger and ADHD, I challenge kids to identify their role in these struggles and take greater accountability. Through questioning teens' thought processes and behaviors, I add a necessary humor with wisdom to soften hard talking points for teens. As a family systems therapist I have unique training in understanding interactional patterns of individuals and families. Working from a relationship perspective, I maintain an awareness of the needs of all family members; including those not involved in therapy. In addition, I have extensive experience as a special education teacher.”
