About

When life gives you lemons, make lemonadeā€.Sometimes gathering the other ingredients (pitcher, spoon, sugar, water)needed to make lemonade can be difficult. I am here to assist you with gathering those ingredients to make the best batch of lemonade for you. I am here to help you live your best life and become the best version of you! I am a licensed clinical professional counselor from Chicago Illinois. I have years of experience in working with children, adolescents, adults, groups, and families in several settings.I have my clinical license in Illinois and Georgia. My clients have presented with a variety of issues and concerns such as anxiety, depression, traumatic experiences, abuse and neglect, school issues, family issues, job related problems and more. My treatment approach is strength-based,collaborative, trauma sensitive and supportive. I utilize CBT, motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques. My goal is to provide an open, nonjudgmental and safe environment for all my clients. So congrats on taking the first step on bettering you or your child/teen.
