Therapy for Teens

Supportive therapy for teens in california

Watching your teen struggle can be heartbreaking. You may feel distant or disconnected from your child, or unsure how to support them through anxiety, depression, trauma, peer challenges, or major life changes. You may find yourself constantly questioning what to do next- Do I step in? Do I back off? Am I making things worse? You don’t have to navigate this alone. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing trauma-informed therapy for adults, adolescents, and families, to help clients process difficult experiences.
