Chances are, you might be concerned about your teens mood and behavior. You are willing to do anything to see them happy. You know this time in their life can be hard, and you understand their confusion. Their frustration, and your frustration makes sense. I am here to help. Over the past decade, I’ve found ways to connect with teens; the ones that have tried everything to feel better, and despite their best efforts, have run out of options. Together, with a strong dose of humor and realness, we can understand and make sense of their behavior.

You have read self help books, followed therapist Instagram accounts, or listened to mental health podcasts, but you still feel like something is missing. You feel triggered by your friends, family, or partner and it is impacting your relationships. You have a million people asking you to do different things and juggle many hats, but you want to be seen and heard more. You may find it hard to keep your cool with your kids or are struggling with the transition during pregnancy or as a new mom. It's overwhelming. You feel like you are alone even when you are around others.
