| Practice Description: |
Do you often feel unhappy, even though you seem to have positive things in your life?
Are you feeling overwhelmed as you adapt to a difficult transition in your life?
Creating the life we want, finding relationships that work for us, landing that perfect job… All these things should bring happiness into our lives but instead we often end up feeling inadequate, empty and alone.
Working within a supportive, objective counseling relationship can offer the opportunity to
• Learn what you want from life and how to takes steps to achieve that
• Define and strengthen positive coping strategies and minimize harmful ones
• Identify how thoughts, emotions and behaviors influence each other
• Learn to define and communicate emotions effectively
Specializing in Teen Issues
Are you a parent, frustrated as you watch your child struggle with academic difficulties, poor peer relationships, or emotional challenges?
Do you need support dealing with your teenager’s ever-changing moods, difficulty communicating or navigating the school system?
Your teen can learn to interact effectively with peers and adults, deal with emotional turmoil and become successful despite learning or emotional challenges!!
Teenagers and young adults often struggle with the transition into adulthood, sometimes making destructive decisions along the way. Most young people facing the task of creating independence while maintaining positive relationships will face difficult challenges.
Often times the opportunity to work within an objective, supportive counseling relationship, allows young people to define who they are and to develop the skills needed to move in a positive direction. I can provide tools to help young people define and communicate their needs and emotions effectively, empowering them to take responsibility for their actions and interact in a more positive way in their world.
