Teen Therapy

Most teens and adolescents come to counseling for depression, relationship issues, self-esteem, and anxiety. It’s exhausting for a teen to keep trying to “fit in.” I work with teens to facilitate growth and change so they can become the best versions of themselves. I do this by focusing on helping them clarify their values and goals, and develop a good foundation of their identity, which helps them surround themselves with peers who encourage and support their goals.

Group

Group Therapy

Community and tribe is the antidote to depression, loneliness, anxiety, and over-working yourself. So find your tribe to help you find meaning and purpose in your life. Lean into your support system. Let others help you and find how you can give back.

I offer meditation groups, teen wilderness therapy groups, parenting groups, anger management, women’s issues, and a beach & yoga book club.

Parenting Therapy

Most problems arise when there is a disconnect between how we understand love and how we show it. I teach parents positive parenting techniques so they can model healthy communication patterns and have a stronger sense of empathy for their child. With this love, support, and understanding, children can grow up to be both mentally and emotionally healthy.

Family Therapy

Family therapy is a way of working with multiple members in a family to nurture change and is used to recover from any past resentment and find new ways of relating to each other. Activities I offer include talk therapy, art or creative therapy, and other experiences.

Specialized

Adventure Therapy

This type of therapy unplugs you from your current world to give you a better perspective on life. It’s scary to be off-the-grid, but adventure therapy is a great way to reconnect with the earth while reconnecting with yourself in an unconventional way. This opportunity is especially useful in preparing teens for upcoming challenges in college.

I offer individuals the chance to explore such beautiful places around Southern California as Joshua Tree, Ojai, Malibu, Laguna Beach, Yosemite National Park, Sequoia National Park, and more.

Play Therapy

“You can learn more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.” - Plato

Play therapy can give children the words for big feelings, and create a better sense of autonomy and self-efficacy within a child. It also provides insight into what a child is feeling and offers them healthy and positive ways to express themselves.
