Navigating Adolescence with Your Teen

Parenting a teenager in today’s world can feel overwhelming—like walking a tightrope between guiding them and giving them independence. You may find yourself questioning:

• Am I doing enough?

• Why do they push me away when I’m just trying to help?

• How do I support them without constant conflict?

You’re not alone. Adolescence is a time of immense neurodevelopmental change, where emotions run high, communication feels impossible, and your once-eager child now craves autonomy. As a therapist specializing in teen development, family dynamics, and neuroscience-backed communication strategies, I help high-achieving parents navigate this critical phase with clarity, confidence, and connection.

What It’s Like to Work With Me

Therapy with me is more than just guidance—it’s a partnership. I provide high-level insight into the teen brain, the science behind their behavior, and tailored strategies to help you parent with empathy, structure, and strength. Our sessions feel like a meaningful conversation—one that leaves you with real, actionable tools to:

✔ Strengthen your relationship with your teen without power struggles.
✔ Improve communication so you’re heard (without eye rolls or slammed doors).
✔ Unpack the emotional weight of parenting—without guilt or societal pressure.

One of my favorite techniques? QTIP—Quit Taking It Personally. I’ll help you see your teen’s reactions through the lens of developmental neuroscience, rather than as personal attacks, so you can respond with wisdom, not frustration.

You Don't Have to Do This Alone

In a world full of parent-shaming and unrealistic expectations, I provide a space free of judgment—where you can exhale, gain perspective, and approach parenting with renewed confidence. Together, we’ll move beyond the chaos and into a healthier, more fulfilling relationship with your teen.
