When parents feel disconnected from their changing teenager

My teenage daughter and I used to be so close but this past year she's become someone I don't recognize and I don't know if this is normal teenage stuff or something deeper. We're both trying but every conversation feels like we're speaking different languages and I can see her pulling away from me even as I'm desperately trying to reach her.
