I have worked in community mental health for 20 + years all over Chicago, mainly on the South and West Side where I am from. I know the most important gift you can give someone is listening to them, which is where I always start, and then go from there based on what you need. I provide people with whatever skills and strategies they need to help them get the most of counseling.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

The most important place to start is to listen to you and figure out what you hope to get out of counseling.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Through out my career I have worked in every setting you can think of, and every type of issue possible, but I love learning new things and coming across a situation I may not have dealt with before to continue to build on my skills as a clinician.
