Do you realize the importance of taking care of yourself and seeking support for dealing with life’s stressors is vital to ensuring you live as the best version of yourself? I have worked with people in this capacity for the past 12 years. My background includes working with children, couples and families in DCFS care, in a private setting, and in a school setting. I personally believe all people desire to be healed and whole, but we sometimes lack the tools to manifest our desires. Allow me to walk alongside you on your journey to healing and health to ensure you reach your full potential and see your desires fully manifest.

Much of my experience has been working within a school setting with children and families who struggle with a multitude of personal and academic issues.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, my emphasis is meeting clients where they are and providing the type of support to assist them with overcoming challenges that have led to negative experiences. For the past 18 years, I have worked with children and their families to seek solutions to social, behavioral, and emotional issues that impact the home and school environment. One of my primary goals is to equip children and their parents with the tools needed to be successful in any situation or environment. Learning the strategies/tools to build strong, mutually respectful relationships is an area of value where I like to focus.

We are living in a world that is forever changing. There is no stop or pause button to help us catch up or even adjust. We are constantly bombarded with various life challenges. Most times when we are in the middle of those challenges we forget to check in with ourselves. We forget to nourish our spirits, minds and body. When that happens it can lead us to a dark place where our traumas and how we deal with them come to surface. Counseling can help address all these things and more.
