Are you feeling overwhelmed by the challenges of raising your teenage son?

Many parents worry about their sons engaging in risky behaviors like substance use, sexual activities, or other dangerous choices. Perhaps your teen is falling behind in school, struggling with motivation, or feeling socially isolated. The teenage years are a crucial time of growth, filled with challenges as boys try to figure out who they are and where they fit in.
Maybe you’re concerned about your son’s social media use, including activities like sexting or sending explicit pictures. Are you familiar with platforms like Snapchat, Instagram, Discord, or anime sites? Parents are often surprised to learn about the potential legal and emotional consequences of their teen’s online behavior.
Does your son seem socially awkward or anxious? Does he retreat to his room to play video games instead of spending time with friends? Mood swings, irritability, and even signs of depression can make parenting a teen feel overwhelming.
Being a Teenager Today is Tough!
Let’s face it—being a teen is harder than ever, and it’s no picnic for parents either. Adolescence is a critical time when the choices teens make can shape their future. Many boys feel pressure to be “tough” and suppress emotions, leading to challenges in expressing themselves. First relationships, breakups, and rejection can feel devastating, and it’s common for boys to seek excitement in risky activities.
For parents, these years can be stressful. You might worry about who your son is spending time with or feel disconnected because he barely talks to you. Issues like sibling rivalry, blended family dynamics, or the aftermath of divorce can add even more tension. Concerns about alcohol, vaping, pornography, or violent outbursts may leave you feeling helpless.
Counseling for Teens Can Help
The good news? Counseling can provide a safe and effective way to support your teen during this pivotal time. Therapy gives teens a space to talk about issues they might not feel comfortable sharing with friends or family. It helps them reflect on their choices and develop skills to resist peer pressure and make better decisions. Most teens already know right from wrong—they just need guidance to stay on track.
Why Choose Me?
Here’s what makes me different:
I Truly Enjoy Working with Teens
I have a deep passion for helping teenagers, especially boys. With years of experience coaching youth sports and raising three sons and seven foster sons, I’ve seen firsthand the challenges teens face—and the incredible potential they have.
I Connect Without Judgment
Building trust is key to effective counseling. Teens often tell me they appreciate my nonjudgmental approach. I focus on understanding their perspective and helping them reflect on their goals, rather than telling them what to do.
I Offer a Safe Space
