Life throws a lot at children, teens, and young adults.
It is not uncommon to feel many conflicting ways about adolescence (and oftentimes many conflicting ways at once).
The things we face as we grow up impact our ability to engage, succeed, and feel accepted in our family life, our friend and peer circles, and in our academic and vocational spheres. It is my distinct honor to work with adolescents and young adults as they navigate some of the toughest years of life.
We’re all trying to navigate life. We each have our own challenges, and struggles; however, each of us has our own strengths and accomplishments as well. Together, we can identify your unique strengths and utilize those as a starting point to set achievable goals on your path of becoming your best and most confident and healthy self.
Some of the issues that come up in much of the work I do with adolescents and young adults may include:
I’ve been passionate about working with youth from a very young age, and while my career began in education, I’m so grateful that it has brought me to becoming a therapist.
My career path to mental health has been a windy road, but the one constant has been my work and engagement with youth and adolescents in a variety of settings. Through person-centered and strengths-based lenses, I work alongside youth and adolescents to ensure that their voices are heard and that their agency is honored throughout the therapeutic process.
