Working with adolescents is as rewarding as it can be challenging.  I have had the privilege of hearing from thousands of teens over the years. They have shared compellingly what works with them. The secret to success for any helping adult working with teens lies in how we develop, manage, and value our working relationships with them.  The research also supports these personal accounts from so many adolescents.  

Though this may seem simple, it is more complicated than it looks.  In What Works With Teens, hear the voices and stories of teens' real experiences with their teachers coaches, therapists and other helping adults.  Some stories are heartbreaking and others are inspiring.  Learn the elements of a powerfully engaging relationship and the skills, that when thoughtfully implemented, help teens successfully reach their goals.

Parenting Teens is Hard!

I am committed to offering guidance and support for parents more broadly as a regular blogger for Psychology Today

Gain insights and actionable strategies for parenting your teen using your best tool... a connected relationship!


Two clinical social workers offer clinicians, educators, coaches, and other youth workers the first professional book that focuses on engaging authentically with teens in order to create lasting change.

Anyone who works with teens should read this book.
