I have extensive experience working with adolescents and their families in a therapeutic setting. By treating teenagers in various therapeutic environments, I have been afforded the opportunity to develop effective strategies in working with highly resistant youth, in both short-term and long-term treatment. In addition, I greatly enjoy working with adolescents and their families, and am able to gain trust with ease when working with this unique population. As I have always possessed a strong desire to work with teens, I find fulfillment in being able to provide a safe environment for these young clients. I feel grateful to be afforded the opportunity to intervene with adolescents at a very crucial and difficult stage of development.
