Marriage & Family Counselor
"Helping Today's Teens Make Great Choices!
Are you worried about your teen and scared they are making poor decisions that could effect their future? I CAN HELP! I am a licensed Marriage and Family counselor who specializes in "Helping Today's Teens Make Great Choices!"
Teens and parents sometimes feel they need different skills to deal with the stress that comes with adolescence - including peer pressure, poor communication, low self esteem, substance use, grief, and school challenges. Many of the teens and families I work with would like tools to use when they are transitioning, such as when they are moving to a new home or school, when they are dealing with divorce, or encounter other life challenges.
