Thank you for being here!
I've had the privilege to serve as a mental health counselor for many years, in both inner-city public schools and group practices.
During my time as a graduate student at Northwestern University, I specialized in child and adolescent trauma. Afterwards, I advanced my studies and received a certification in Integrative Trauma Studies at the National Institute for Psychotherapies in NY.
