Youth Counseling
Is your adolescent struggling to manage their emotions and behavior? Do they experience challenges with their identity or struggle with self-esteem issues?
I can help!
Most of my work experience has been with juvenile delinquents, foster youth, mandated youth, and adolescents and their families.
I have worked with children and adolescents with various issues and diagnoses, including conduct disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, PTSD, ADHD, depression, anxiety, BPD, and mood disorders, among other things.
Youth are a unique population that requires a holistic approach to address their individual needs. My therapeutic approach with teenagers is caring, self-empowering, and non-judgmental. At the same time, I am honest and hold teens accountable for their choices and actions because I believe youth need guidance, but they also need to feel empowered and heard.
