How I Can Help Adolescents

Identity & Belonging
Feeling caught between cultures, struggling with "who am I?", dealing with racism or discrimination, or questioning cultural or religious identity. I provide space for teens to explore identity while maintaining family connections.

Anxiety & Depression
Persistent worry, panic attacks, social anxiety, feelings of sadness or hopelessness, or loss of interest in activities they used to enjoy.

Self-Esteem & Confidence
Negative self-talk, body image concerns, perfectionism, or feeling "not good enough."

Family Conflict
Arguments with parents about cultural expectations, dating, career choices, or independence. Tension between honoring family values and developing autonomy.

Social & Relationship Issues
Peer pressure, bullying, romantic relationship stress, or difficulty navigating friendships.

Academic Pressure
Stress about college, grades, or career expectations—especially when family expectations feel overwhelming.

Risky Behaviors
Concerns about substance use, self-harm, or other dangerous behaviors. I provide compassionate, non-judgmental support.
