Are you a parent of a teen and feeling overwhelmed or unhappy with your parenting? In an intimate relationship that feels like it's going nowhere? I work with parents, couples, and individuals to help them with relational and life issues. My specialties include: - families with "challenging" teens, working directly with parents to support them in shifting their stance to support their teen to be their best. Common issues include feeling overwhelmed, micromanaging and finding that it's just not working, anger, frustration, and loss.
- Couples who are stuck in behavior patterns and wish for new intimacy and vitality in their relationship. - Individuals feeling stuck, confused, or unsupported. - I have a subspecialty of working with families when children come back from therapeutic boarding school, wilderness, or addiction treatment.
I am also part of a DBT Consultation Group and practice in Redwood City. We specialize in teaching skills to handle emotional and mental dysregulation. We are also offering classes in the newest form of DBT, RO-DBT, which teaches skills to deal with over control (perfectionism, emotional rigidity, etc).
