Teens 13-19yo
Are you feeling misunderstood, alone, depressed, insecure, or anxious?
Are you struggling to find your identity or to communicate who you are to others?
Do you feel lost?
Are you unsure about what to do after graduating from high school?
Are you experiencing test anxiety or trouble with school work?
Are you feeling stressed and pressured about making the right college choice?
Do you want to choose the best fitting major or career but don't know where to start?
I am here to help. During our appointments, we’ll talk about your thoughts, feelings, challenges, hopes, and dreams. I’ll help you make strides towards achieving your goals, accepting yourself, reducing stress, and tolerating the ups and downs of being a teen. I’ll teach you coping skills to help you better manage and regulate your emotions. I also offer training in mindfulness techniques, which will help you better focus, perform, and enjoy the here and now.
I am here to support and guide you through the process of choosing the best fitting major and/or career for yourself. I’ll do so by helping you recognize your strengths and interests, by clarifying what it is that you want in life, and by helping you overcome barriers so that you can embark on that path.
Throughout our work together, I will help you embrace your unique identity and develop a healthy self-concept, so that you can live more confidently and navigate life’s journeys more smoothly.
It is often important for me to collaborate with your parents and sometimes, even with your teachers and guidance counselors, so that we can all help you to overcome and to thrive. It is particularly important for me to do so, when cultural factors may be contributing to your struggles. Before talking to your parents and school staff, I will always ask for your thoughts and feedback, so that we can be on the same page and ensure your confidentiality.
