Understanding the teenager is almost as difficult as living with them.

Don't you sometimes wish you knew what "normal" adolescent behavior is and what is not? How to talk to your teen about drugs, sex, and your own issues in parenting? Are you worried about your adolescent and think he or she could benefit from professional help?

I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in seeing teenage clients since 1992. I have worked with adolescents at Children's Hospital Los Angeles, Verdugo Mental Health, Angel's Flight shelter. and Foothill Family Services. I have trained other therapists who counsel youth at St. John's Hospital, the Didi Hirsch Center, and UCLA. I am currently the Mental Health Consultant for the La Canada Unified School District.

If you're concerned about what's really going on inside your teenager's head, perhaps I can help.
