It is a difficult decision to begin therapy especially for adolescents and young adults. I feel that developing a relationship is essential because no one shares their personal thoughts with someone they don’t trust. I believe in short term, solution based therapy with specific goals and direction. Therapy is not magic and succeeds when the therapist and client are working for the same goal. I am a social worker who has worked with adolescents and their families for many years, primarily in the high school setting. I enjoy this population and realize how important it is to include parents in the process. Counseling can help with the periodic conflicts and challenges that arise in our lives. We all have times when we need someone to talk to who is not a part of our lives but can help us navigate through troubles and decision making. Being a teenager is difficult and social media has made it even harder. I work with clients to figure out what they want. Anxiety and depression are major focuses of my work. I can also help with school issues and in making the connections needed for success. I have extensive experience working with anxiety, depression, school avoidance, social and behavioral problems. I have experience working with eating disorders as well.
