Is your child or teen struggling with anxiety, depression, or behavioral challenges? As a parent, do you often struggle with self-doubt, guilt, or concern for your child's well-being? Is your family experiencing a loss of identity, grappling with the behaviors of a family member, or finding it hard to adjust to new circumstances? Navigating family and child issues can be daunting, especially in a society where seeking help can still carry stigma. But, avoiding these concerns can amplify feelings of guilt, shame, and unease. My passion lies in fostering personal and collective growth for individuals and families alike.
As a Black therapist, I prioritize understanding your child within the context of their environment rather than isolating behaviors for analysis. My approach focuses on empowering your child to comprehend themselves and their evolving surroundings, cultivate healthy coping mechanisms, and provide a supportive space to address their concerns.
I am dedicated to helping you overcome obstacles that hinder your ability to be the confident, nurturing caregiver your child needs. Contact me today for a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation. Together, we can embark on a journey towards growth and resilience for your family.
