As a school social worker specializing in children and pre-adolescent youth, I create a safe environment using sports and arts/crafts, meeting clients where they are. Understanding the need for a secure outlet, I draw from my background as a foster care placement worker, addressing trauma, the foster care system, and contemporary stressors. My approach emphasizes empowering youth early on, fostering higher self-esteem and a positive outlook.
As a professional experienced in addressing various emotions, genders, sexual identities, traumas, and family, peer, or school issues, I offer support in processing complex emotions and building essential skills. My approach emphasizes de-escalation, coping, strategy building, and goal-setting.
Building trust opens avenues for involving close ones in the healing process, improving family dynamics. Caregivers, seeking support, input, and tailored sessions, strengthen their bond with the child. If you're seeking a dedicated professional for youth challenges, let's create a positive path forward together.
