Being a teen is hard
This time in life is full of challenges, disruptions, and learning opportunities. Teenagers are simultaneously finding themselves as well as figuring out how to navigate this complicated system we live in.
Oof.
Maybe you’ve noticed them going off on their own more. Losing that spark they used to have. Their emotions either feel explosive and all-encompassing or maybe there doesn’t seem to be much emotion going on at all.
“My teen won’t talk to me anymore”
I’ve heard this a lot over my years of counseling. It’s so scary to feel like you’ve lost that connection. It’s scary for them too.
It’s also okay. During this developmental period, teens are “supposed” to pull away from caregivers and start learning how to move towards adulthood.
Having a non-parent/caregiver to talk to can help your teen process through all they’re going though, develop skills, and navigate this complicated life.
Specialties
While I have a wide variety of expertise- both personally and professionally, here are some areas I specialize in with teens:
LGBTQIA+ community
Peer relationships
Identity and Self Esteem
Social pressure
depression and anxiety
I’ll help through this process, tailoring each step to your unique needs and circumstances. My approach to counseling comes from a place of hope and understanding : you are not doomed to feel like this forever. You simply need some support as you learn new ways of experiencing life.
