Working with adolescents and families for 20+ years

Being an adolescent or young adult is challenging, especially in a culture of academic excellence where many children feel pressure to succeed like their parents. Having grown up and worked within a competitive academic culture my whole life, I understand these pressures firsthand. Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I support both students and parents in navigating uncertainty by defining values-based success within an academic system that is no longer predictable.
