About My Clients

Navigating childhood and adolescence can be challenging, especially in a world changing as quickly as today. It can feel impossible to cope with a variety of new feelings while balancing home life and school life. I can assist youth with providing psycho-education about feelings, empathy and positivity while providing a safe and encouraging environment.

My Background and Approach

I have a Master’s degree in Counseling and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have been providing services to children and adolescents for 11 years. My experience includes working with children and adolescents in a variety of settings that include the foster care system, the school system and the juvenile justice system. I primarily work with clients that are experiencing difficulties coping with life’s challenges. I have worked with clients diagnosed with ADHD, anxiety and depression, including those having behavioral difficulties at home and/or school. I focus on the youth through the use of CBT, MI and Solution-Focused Brief therapies which are individualized for each client. I help empower the client to use positive skills that can assist in decreasing any negative behaviors. I will work diligently to create and foster an environment where the client can discover their strengths while processing their life’s difficulties. I offer services in English and Spanish.
