To grow up is to be in a constant state of change.  My goal in working with youth is to help the process of growing up be as painless as possible.  Sometimes this means teens having a therapeutic space of their own as they conquer life's difficulties and other times this means working with families to create an environment that better fosters the mental health needs of all of its members.
Family conflict, depression, self-harm and risk taking behavior, anxiety, self-image and insecurity, grief and loss, divorce and separation, lack of motivation, individuation and behavioral issues are all common concerns I work with.
