About My Clients
Is your teenager not feeling normal? Are they having difficulty finding or connecting with friends? Are they feeling sad or angry or challenged with trusting others so they are isolating? Or do they feel overwhelmed or rebellious against the “normal expectations”? Perhaps they have stopped wanting to go to school, have starting hanging with “the wrong crowd” or even using drugs and alcohol to escape? I am here to encourage, equip and empower to navigate and overcome and defeat these challenges.
My Background and Approach
I have a passion for youth and believe that not only the individual but the family plays a role in forgiveness and healing. For this reason, I offer counseling to assist with overcoming challenges so commonly experienced in urban communities. Consequences such as depression, anger and anxiety are often the result of trauma experienced at some point in one's life. I desire to equip youth and families with coping skills and tools using Cognitive Behavioral, Trauma Sensitive, Solution Focused and Restorative practices to name a few. I have worked with teens and families through Chicago Public Schools for 11 years, as well as various agencies and churches for over 20 years. It is my life's purpose to do all I can to make sure young people can navigate through the challenges that life has presented so they get on a path to the success they desire.
