Therapist Overview
As my mother often used to joke, parenting doesn’t come with a handbook. This is especially true in today’s society, where adolescents and teens are exposed to so much more through the internet and social media than we could have possibly imagined. It’s no wonder that depression, anxiety, and stress are at all-time highs for our children. Attempting to navigate these unknown parenting waters can be difficult. You might have discovered that your once happy, bright, and outgoing child has changed into someone you don’t know. It’s not unusual for teens to shut down and turn to their friends, but this can be unhelpful at times. Although it’s not an easy decision, finding the right counselor who can connect and work with you and your child can make a world of difference. Counseling can offer them a safe place to share their emotions, work through difficult issues, and learn and practice how to cope effectively as well as build self-esteem. Imagine what this could do for your family. Currently, I am accepting new clients, and have weekend and after-school openings. As a military spouse, I have experience with the military culture. Additionally, I am Level 1 EMDR certified. Making the decision to contact a therapist might be difficult, but the road to a healthier and happier life doesn’t have to be. I’m here to help you on that journey.
