Approach with Teens

I will work collaboratively with you to investigate, discover and uncover the underlying conflicts and family dynamics that are interfering with your capacity to develop your full potential.  We will work hard together to reach your goals.

We will do this by initially developing a trusting relationship where you feel understood, respected, and listened to.  From this themes will emerge that will help you better understand your motivations, actions, feelings and behaviors.  We will focus on your strengths and you will learn new ways to approach life challenges.

My goal is for you to feel supported while you explore the aspects of your life that cause you pain and confusion. The clients I work with often feel that their relationships with others improve, and that they are more in touch with their thoughts and  emotions.  Other teens I’ve worked with tell me that they have more control over their behaviors, and see their strengths and challenges from a new perspective.
