Do you have a child or teenager that is displaying difficult behaviors or moods at school or home? Have they experienced some adverse event/s such as abuse, trauma, or loss of a loved one? A loss of interest in things they once enjoyed? Are they lacking in relational supports or friendship with same-aged peers? I have worked in the Chicago school system for four years and specialize in working with children and adolescents who need support to work through symptoms that stem from previous hardships, improve communication and emotional regulation, and to promote optimal mental health.
I will work alongside you and your child so they receive the holistic support needed through a variety of modalities using a strengths-based, trauma-informed approach. I will recommend manageable activities to do outside therapy, as change best occurs for children when implemented in small, frequent doses.
It is a brave step to reach out for support, and I honor the strength and skills you already have throughout this process of healing and growth. I encourage my clients to use their strengths and interests during treatment as I facilitate a safe, genuine and judgement-free space that provides room for healing and empowerment.
