Counseling Services

Help with your teenager

Teenagers seem to grow up too fast. They battle you for independence, but only want to take on the fun parts of being an adult, without the responsibility. This is especially hard when anxiety and sadness hold them back from fulfilling new responsibilities. I will meet with your teenager in your home, or community, once or twice per week, to help in understanding how anxiety and depression impact daily living.

We will explore where these patterns come from and seek to create a plan that decreases the impact of anxiety and/or depression and supports a sense of mastery, leading to a successful path to a happy adult life.

Help for you

It is not just your teenager who needs support. Knowing what to do to foster success can leave you walking on eggshells. What worked on Tuesday may not work on Wednesday. Trying to do anything by yourself or with other family members and friends can be frustrating, and it feels like success is always just out of reach.

I will talk, text, and meet with you in your home as often as needed to provide support with the challenges of day-to-day parenting, while making an effective plan that supports you. Together, we will work to get your needs met while helping your teen grow into a successful adult who will thrive after high school.

Help with your family

We will create a practical plan to support the whole family, because when your teen struggles, your whole family struggles. I will come to your home and meet with your family as often as needed so that each member has a vision and a voice in a plan for a better tomorrow for the whole family. We will work so that your family has fun together and once again sees the good in one another.

Help for your community

It takes a village to raise a teenager. I will work with existing support systems to make sure that we are working smarter together. When needed, I will access my extensive network of community resources to help you get the wrap-around social services you need.
