When it comes to working with teens, no one has all of the answers, all of the time. Raising teens has always presented challenges, and families are living through some extraordinary times. As a parent, sometimes our best efforts to make things better fall short. When your energy is drained by the day-to-day stress of parenting or your child has a specific mental health concern, working with a professional can help.

Recent events have changed things for everyone. Life with a teen has become more stressful with many new challenges. It is more important than ever for teens to have an outlet for their emotions and to be able to problem-solve unresolved obstacles. I provide therapy for teens and consultation for parents in person and online from the convenience and comfort of your home.
A state licensed, nationally certified professional counselor specializing in therapeutic solutions for teens and coaching strategies for parents, my practice reflects advanced education, specialized training, and experience working with diverse families in various settings. My combined experience as a therapist, school counselor, and facilitator for Parenting The Love and Logic Way provide my clients a wide range of strategies.
Coaching For Parents is based on the idea that, with a well-crafted plan, adults can often produce the change they wish to see in a child, by making concerted changes themselves. Identifying your parenting style and trying some new strategies can have a profound impact on your children. Many good parents need ideas on how to design that well-crafted plan.
Many families seek therapy for a teen experiencing depression, a severe or prolonged sense of sadness. I work with teens to help them take positive steps to improve their mood, build confidence, and ultimately feel more hopeful about the future. Difficulties with focus, attention, and hyperactivity can cause school-related difficulties, impulsive decision-making, and strained relationships.
Working as a team, we will create a solution-oriented plan of action to help your child accomplish their goals. As an experienced practitioner, my first priority in therapy is to build mutual respect and understanding with your family, and most importantly your child. Gaining a teen's trust and respect is vital to the success of any therapeutic relationship.

We’re just getting started with Dr Shore so I can’t attest to the “meat” of his work with my son because it begins tomorrow, first appointment. What I can give five stars to are: the ease of reaching Dr Shore on each occasion, his tone of voice was calm and confident, and he projected immediate, genuine concern. So far, it’s going very well. Couldn’t be better start.
