Friendships Start to Change

Social circles often shift during adolescence. Teens may explore new friendships, form deeper bonds, or experience peer pressure for the first time. Learning how to connect while staying true to themselves is an important part of this stage.

Changing Emotions Are Normal

Adolescence brings a wave of emotions—sometimes intense, sometimes confusing. These changes are a healthy part of development as teens learn to understand and express their feelings. If your teen is struggling to navigate these shifts, guidance can help.

Growing Up Is a Big Transition

The shift from childhood to adolescence brings huge changes—emotionally, socially, and even physically. It’s normal for teens to seek more independence while still needing support and guidance. If your family is navigating this transition, you’re not alone.

Every lunchtime, Casey found themselves eating at their desk, answering emails instead of taking a real break.

One day, they took their break outside — no laptop, no phone. That small change made the whole afternoon feel different.

Healthy boundaries at work give your mind space to breathe.
If rest feels like something you have to “earn,” Ann can help you rewrite that story — in person or via telehealth.

Alex loved being seen as dependable — until being “the reliable one” meant always taking on extra work.

So Alex practiced saying, “I don’t have the capacity for that right now.” It felt awkward at first, but eventually, people adjusted.

If saying no feels impossible, Ann can help you learn the skills — in person or via telehealth.

When Sam realized they were replying to work messages late at night, sleep got shorter and stress got louder.

One evening, Sam set a simple boundary: no responding after 7 PM. At first it felt uncomfortable — then it felt like relief.

Healthy boundaries create space for rest, recovery, and peace.
If holding that line feels hard, Ann can guide you through it — in person or via telehealth.

When Jordan noticed their coworkers relying on them for every “quick favor,” the workdays kept getting longer — and burnout crept in fast.

So Jordan started saying, “I can help after I finish my tasks,” instead of dropping everything. The surprising part? People respected it.

If setting limits feels stressful, Ann can help you build confidence — in person or via telehealth.

Jamie loved spending time with his partner, but he missed his hobbies — and himself.

He started taking one night a week just for him: reading, playing guitar, or seeing friends. His relationship didn’t suffer — it strengthened.

Healthy love grows best when both people still have roots of their own. 🌱
If you’re learning to make space for yourself, Ann can help — in person or via telehealth. 📞 Call 503-269-7115.

When Morgan’s partner asked for her passwords to “build trust,” she felt uneasy. She wanted openness — not surveillance.

So she explained that trust isn’t proven through access, but through consistency. They started working on security and safety — emotionally and online.

Boundaries protect both love and individuality.
Ann can help you strengthen both — in person or via telehealth. 📞 Call 503-269-7115.

Alex noticed her partner always agreed with her — never saying what he really wanted. When she asked why, he said, “I just don’t want to fight.”

She reassured him that honesty felt safer than silence. Little by little, he started opening up.

Healthy love welcomes truth, even when it’s hard.
If communication feels difficult, Ann can help you reconnect — in person or via telehealth. 📞 Call 503-269-7115.

When Sam’s partner kept texting during work hours and getting upset when he didn’t reply, he felt constantly on edge.

So he set a boundary: no texting during work unless it’s urgent. It wasn’t about distance — it was about respect.

Healthy boundaries build trust, not walls.
Ann can help you find your trust — in person or via telehealth. 📞 Call 503-269-7115 to start your healing journey.
