ADOLESCENTS AND FAMILIES

Adolescence can be stressful and complex. A natural stage of transition from childhood to adulthood that comes with many challenges and issues, that often requires the help of an objective outsider, who understands the stresses and strains from this important stage of life.

It can be hard to navigate today’s stressors, including school demands, changes in the family and peer dynamics, and the negative influence of social media. Self-doubt and a lack of certainty about the future can damage relationships between teens and their families

I specialize in repairing familial ties and addressing problems such as:

• Depression, anxiety and panic attacks
• Stress (including post-traumatic)
• Society and performance anxiety
• Perfectionism
• Eating disorders
• Self-injury
• Substance abuse
• Separation and divorce in families
