Is your teen or preteen facing challenges with self-esteem and feelings of inadequacy? Maybe they are having trouble getting things done, worry a lot, or are more withdrawn than usual. Whether your teen is struggling with challenges related to school, family, friends, or daily life, I am here to help. I provide a friendly, safe, and supportive environment where teens and preteens can be heard and make sense of their struggles. Through a combination of age appropriate art, play, and talk therapy techniques, I help teens and preteens feel validated and engaged in their treatment so that they develop authentic, positive change.
