Adolescent Counseling

It is my belief that teenagers bear some of the heaviest burdens in our culture today and that they need significantly more support, encouragement, and care than they are often given or have access to. I have worked with adolescents in various settings for over ten years now, from youth groups, camps, daycares, pediatric nursing, and now as an adolescent counselor. I have been exposed to adolescents of all backgrounds and in all walks of life. It is my heart and hope to provide any adolescent I work with a safe place to be themselves, understand who they are meant to be, and help them put language to what they are experiencing emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Much of my work with adolescents consists of helping them understand the role emotions play in their lives, identifying unhealthy patterns in their thought processes, and equipping them with skills to build healthy and authentic relationships.
