Specialties
-
Anxiety
Anxiety is a normal feeling that ramps during adolescence. It can derail teens from daily functioning or be harnessed into an amazing asset. I work with teens to build a relationship to their anxiety and not let it control their life.
-
Perfectionism
Many teens in the Bay Area live with a lot of pressure and socially sanctioned perfectionism. Despite being highly functioning, teens grapple with these pressures in private, which takes a toll on their mental health. I work with teens to help build their self-esteem and resilience.
-
Addiction
Teens have constant avenues to escape their negative emotions, which rob them of the opportunity to work through their feelings and build self-esteem. Whether it’s nicotine, weed, or TikTok, I help teens and young adults break free of their addictions and build healthier coping skills.
-
Your mind is the basis of everything you experience and of every contribution you make to the lives of others. Given this fact, it makes sense to train it.
