Treatment Areas:
Teen Counseling
Depression, anxiety, perfectionism, self-harm, low self-esteem, bullying, addiction, trauma, video game addiction ... These are just some of the serious issues facing many of our teens today. They need professional support, and so do their parents. I've been through the teen years with my own kids and with many others in my practice. In my work with teens I use aspects of mindfulness, CBT, DBT, Art therapy, EMDR and various other evidence based "tools" depending on what resonates with your individual child. Although individual sessions with your teen are confidential I strive to keep parents involved and informed.

Divorce and Co-Parenting Support
Divorce is difficult, no matter the reasons for it. Support before, during and after the separation improves emotional and physical well-being for kids as well as parents. Co-parenting counseling helps parents make a new family plan and resolve differences as they arise, based on what is best for their children's long term care and development.
