Teens go through more socially and emotionally currently than many adults can fully grasp. Social Media has created new stressors in your teen's life. Teens need support to navigate the struggles from school, friends and the "comparing culture". Often, teens are reluctant to talk to their parents about these struggles for reasons such as embarrassment, shame and fear. Teens are in a difficult stage in their life and it can have it's challenges often making the risks higher. This can also be a wonderful time in their life but they still need some help navigating "all the things". I meet with the parents/caregivers- to help you and your teen. I use expressive therapies and other approaches based on your child's needs. I am direct yet caring with your teen. They need a counselor that listens, gives guidance yet challenges their thinking. I work to teach skills that will get them to a better place and I always encourage journaling with teens and adults. As a Christian counselor, I'm available to incorporate faith in our work together if you and your child choose this. Please reach out if you are concerned about your child/ teen.
