Teens and Adolescents

The Road to success

Are you a teen or a family member of a teen who is struggling to cope with the anxiety and depression that comes with the turmoil of adolescence?

My aim is that our work together contributes to the emotional and mental health of teenagers, guiding them – and their families – to not just endure but to truly thrive during this crucial and formative period.

In the journey of adolescence, providing a supportive environment where teens feel seen and understood is essential for overall wellbeing and growth. My work is rooted in helping teens cope with challenging feelings, navigating the complexities of growing up in a rapidly evolving world, and building a strong foundation for a healthy future.

With a background as a classroom teacher and school counselor, I bring valuable insights into the academic and social pressures that young individuals, especially teens, confront in this unique societal landscape. I have also gained extensive experience in intensive mental health treatment settings to address a wide array of emotional and psychological concerns impacting young people.

“Adolescence is not a period of being “crazy” or “immature.” It is an essential time of emotional intensity, social engagement, and creativity.” - Dr. Dan Siegel
