Studies have shown that the relationship between a mother and her teen daughter affects her daughter’s self-esteem, self-worth, and future relationships, including their relationship.
My mission has been to empower and educate teen girls and women. As a teen, I wished that I had someone to empower me. My family was old school, which meant that they used a lot of tactics that weren’t uplifting to me as a teenager. My self-esteem was really low as a result. I know today that my family didn’t know any better. They were parenting the way that they were parented. In my 20-plus years of working with mothers and teens, I see the same parenting mistakes taking place today, much similar to how I was raised. Parenting has so much to do with who we are as individuals. We can’t give our daughters what we don’t have.

When you develop a relationship with a caring therapist you will find new ways to solve problems, heal old wounds, and change the way you live.
Have you ever just wanted to sit down to off-load something that’s been eating away at you for too long? Recognizing the need for help and seeking professional therapy is a sign of strength and determination to live a productive and meaningful life. As a part of living our lives, we may encounter situations that are difficult to manage alone. Some seek support due to a situational crisis. Others seek treatment as a necessary aspect of managing a medical disorder, commonly known as a mental illness. Whether you are experiencing a life adjustment or more complex medical conditions, it is a well known fact that therapy helps.
