I also have experience working with juvenile and adult offenders, foster/ adoption, and dual specialization in sex offender treatment.
Growing up in today’s society comes with so many challenges that at times can seem so overwhelming. Sometimes having someone that can be a listening ear and offer tools to help one succeed can go a very long way. One may need someone they can confide in and build trust with so that the stress and emotional toll that these challenges can bring are lessened day by day.
