I have been working with teens and young adults for over 20yrs, mostly in group homes. I specifically work with people who have experienced trauma and lived in foster care. I think it is important for you to have choice and control of your life, and that many systems and therapy have often not been helpful. I want to try something different.

You lead, I follow. I am compassion, direct, and focus on natural consequences to actions. Therapy is whatever you want it to be, not what the books say.

We typically learn a little bit about one another, discuss our styles, and see if we are a good match. We will review "adulting" goals and make a plan to get there (like getting housing by calling landlords).
