As an adult, your relationship with time changes. The days sometimes seem to drag on, and on and on at other times the years fly by and we are barely remembering what happened. Time seems to speed up and before you know it, you are not as young as you were. THEN add the beliefs and pressure that at this point in our lives we should have things settled down and figured out. HA.

The longest and most important relationship you will ever have is your relationship with yourself. Let's work on exploring your relationship to self, recognize how you talk to yourself, take care of your mind, body, and spirit, prioritize your needs, and honor your values. To work on building your confidence and security with yourself.

We do not live in this world alone. People impact us. Working with a therapist means talking freely about your stressors and frustrations that involve your closest loved ones, peers, friends, or even coworkers.

A place where you are heard.

As a teenager, it can feel as if no one hears or understands you. Being a teenager is an interesting time in your life. As a teenager you are old enough for everyone to expect you to act like an adult, but still too young for anyone to take seriously at times what you are saying and how you feel.

Let’s start envisioning wellness together!

Raising a teenager can be difficult. It’s often challenging to tell the difference when teens are healthily working through issues or need help from a therapist.

One goal is to help your teen develop the necessary coping skills to live this life. I have a history of working working with the children ages 14-17 who are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, socialization stressors, mood swings, self-harming behavior and parent/child relationship issues.

As we all know, any healthy relationship requires work and is going to face challenges both large and small. Simple, everyday stressors can strain any relationship. Major sources of stress will often threaten the very stability of the relationship. Therapy is also a dedicated space to check in about your relationship dynamics and work on goals for the continued health of your relationship moving forward.

Culturally responsive therapy is responding to and making room for the client’s culture in the therapeutic process. As a culturally responsive clinician, I will follow guidelines for working with diverse groups of people.

I understand that racial, cultural, religious, gender, and sexual identities interact with one’s beliefs and behavior. The expectation and ultimate goals for both the clinician and the client are progress and improvement despite cross-cultural boundaries and differences. I recognize and respect differences and can communicate and interact successfully with clients from diverse backgrounds
