Working with youth and adolescents is my passion as they embark on the arduous journey of self-discovery. During this process many youth and teens experience issues such as: oppositional behavior, emotional deregulation and expression, transitional challenges (autism, LGBTQ, school related issues, blended family), anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD/ADD, trauma, destructive behaviors and detachment issues from their surroundings, drug and alcohol abuse and dependency. In working with this clientele I utilize an authentic Cognitive Behavioral approach that integrates behavioral modification techniques promoting empowerment, motivation, self-confidence, self-awareness, and encourages personal responsibility, and growth in all stages of development. With each stage of therapy it is essential that the family system be a part of treatment. Engagement of the parents in the treatment with their children can build on trust, understanding, and acceptance which every child needs to promote a successful self-identity, and create lasting long term change within the family unit. I appreciate working with couples reducing stress, reinforcing emotional bonds and restoring love in strained relationships. Helping couples gain the skills and understanding to recognize why conflict arises and building on coping skills in resolving their problems. Working through fears, pain, anger, exploring dysfunctional patterns to achieve the happiness that you and your partner deserve.
