I have worked effectively with teens age 13 to 19 as individuals and part of a family system. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change.

Still a long way to go for my personally, but Cliff has been incredible at really helping me start to find the "why" I am the way I am so that I can change my actions in a positive way.
