I have experiences working with a diverse population of individuals, families, and groups. This include both male and female, adolescents, young, middle age, and elderly adults across multiple socio-economic ranges and ethnicities, Africans, African Americans, Asians, Europeans and English-speaking Hispanics. Group counseling diversity includes divorce care of men and women, single parenting, grief sharing, teen problems, domestic violence abuse intervention (victims and perpetrators), and anger management. These experiences have enlarged my awareness that a diverse population encompasses a multitude of belief systems and norm.
I seek to help my clients from a perspective of trust to help ensure client’s self-concept become more positive and realistic. My major focus is to help individuals open up and be an effective and active agent in their search for meaning and well-being to enable them to work through unprocessed pain and hurt and to turn a narrative from negative to positive.
I am here help you to redirect or channel negative energy into positive energy; to let go of self-pity and low self-esteem; regain or find a voice that was previously silenced through physical, verbal, and/or emotional abuse; to move beyond the past and present and realize hope in the future to become fully visible in today's society; to find Soul Justice.
