Supporting Parents of Adolescents: As a parent of an adolescent, you see that teens have a lot to manage - The draw and impact of social media, the drama of peer relationships, academic demands and pressure to succeed, the drive for independence and need for emotional guidance. You may feel uncertain about when to set limits, provide discipline, or give support. You may sometimes feel frustrated, sad or afraid. I am happy to help you. I specialize in working with parents of adolescents and have over 25 years of experience helping parents navigate the joys and challenges of raising teenagers.
I began my career as a counselor for high-risk youth and have worked with a broad spectrum of adolescent populations: Children identified as intellectually gifted and talented, children with special education needs, children with a variety of mental health concerns, and many children simply walking through the challenges of growing up in a complex world.
My style is warm, calm and optimistic. My approach is strengths based and solution focused. I work as a therapist in private practice, I am also a former Minnesota School Counselor of the Year (2019). I am here to guide and support you as you parent your teen with love and confidence.
