Are you concerned about your teenager's excessive stress, argumentative behavior at home, or declining grades? Adolescence is a stressful period as the developmental changes that occur during this time affect almost every area of a teenager's functioning (e.g. relationships with others, risk-taking behavior, sense of identity). However, these changes often lead to great distress on the teenager and their families. Psychotherapy can be a great tool for your child to work through his or her conflicts as they make the difficult transition into adulthood.
I work with adolescents in helping them achieve their personal, academic, and athletic goals. Born and raised in Orange County, I understand the pressure and expectations these young adults encounter daily. I believe each individual is capable of achieving their aspirations and I work with them on eliminating the roadblocks that are impeding their progress.
My masters and doctorate level education, as well as extensive clinical experience, provides my clients with a unique, comprehensive blend of therapeutic theories and techniques. I have the education and experience to assist your child in overcoming these temporary impediments.
