Adolescence and young adulthood are prime times for creating healthy patterns for coping, relating, and decision-making. I create a safe space to help you and your child navigate stress and issues related to behavior, trauma, relationships, mood, and self-esteem- towards feeling more whole, connected, confident, and at ease.
A Systemic, Holistic Approach to Therapy with Teens
Holistic therapy for teens is an integrative and comprehensive approach to mental health that considers the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. It recognizes the interconnectedness of various aspects of a teenager's life and aims to promote overall well-being by addressing emotional, physical, social, and environmental factors. My approach goes beyond symptom management and seeks to empower teens to achieve balance and resilience in their lives. I consider parents and guardians as integral parts of the process, and use a family-focused approach so that parents feel confident that progress made in the therapy room translates to progress out in the real world.
Key components in my work with teens include:
Mind-Body Connection
Social-Emotional Learning
Social and Environmental Factors
Nutrition and Lifestyle
Mindfulness and Self-Regulation Strategies
Creativity and Self Expression
Empowerment and Goal Setting
Cultivating Resilience
Holistic therapy for teens recognizes that each individual is unique, and interventions are tailored to meet the specific needs and preferences of the teenager. By addressing the multifaceted aspects of a teen's life, I aim to create a foundation for sustainable mental health and overall well-being.
