Teen, Adult and Couples Therapist in Marin County
You’re worried that you’re doing something wrong. Is this normal what my teen is going through? Will my child be ok? How can I help them when it is difficult to get them to talk to me? As a parent, it is difficult to know how to support your child.
You’re feeling scared. Wondering if you’re a good enough parent and concerned that you’re doing enough for your struggling adolescent.It can feel overwhelming and lonely to parent in today’s world, trying to raise a healthy, happy kid. You want to better understand your kid and how you can help them. I understand what it is like to raise teenagers. I can support you and your teen in understanding their struggles. I help teens build coping skills and create a stronger sense of self to tackle the many issues that face them at school, with friends and at home.
Support for Couples and Adults
In my work with couples, I collaborate with you and your partner to illuminate the cycle between you in hopes of getting to more connection. I support building compassion for each other, better communication and ways to express needs to your partner in a safe empathetic space. I have been trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy and apply this modality to help couples trust each other with needs and vulnerabilities. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is based on the premise that emotions are connected to needs, and those are connected to the upbringing you experienced. I work to get couples back to the shared vision that brought them together so that marriage/being in partnership can be satisfying and joyous.
Support for Teens
Being a parent to teens is a constant tension between stepping in and stepping back. It is hard to know how to manage the tension in a way that best supports your growing and individuating teen. Parents often wonder if what their teen is going through is normal.
It is so common to feel anxious about whether you’re a good enough parent and concerned that you’re doing enough for your struggling adolescent. It can feel overwhelming and lonely to parent in today’s world, trying to raise a healthy, happy kid. I understand what it is like to raise teenagers.
