• Are you frustrated with your teen and afraid he or she may be on the wrong path? 
• Do you feel helpless watching  a teen who is sad, confused or getting in trouble? 
• Is it hard to tell if what you see is normal teenage angst, or the signs of a more serious problem? 

I'm here to help.

As a counselor for teens, I help parents find answers to important questions and help teens solve their problems. I offer individual, group and family counseling for teens and their families. 

I have years of experience working with high-risk teens and those with normal adolescent issues. Over the past several years, I have worked with adolescents in both residential and outpatient settings. I have worked with teens in locked mental health facilities, in Juvenile Hall, at various agencies and in private practice. 

Some areas of focus include: 

• Emotional control 
• Managing difficult emotions 
• Anger management 
• Parental divorce or separation
• Boundary setting 
• Communication skills 
• Family issues 
• Raising self-esteem 
• Drug and sexuality education 
• Reinforcing drug abstinence 
• School performance 
• Surviving probation

Together, we will create a customized counseling plan to meet the specific needs of your teen and your family. We will build a unique therapeutic program to best serve your family's needs and goals.
