My journey to mental healthcare
As a young man, growing up in a small town, I appreciated, helping others, listening to others, and being supportive of others, when they struggled with difficulties in their life.

I have worked in law enforcement, and as a social worker and I have learned so much about human nature, healing in the need for communication, relationship, and trust without any judgment and full acceptance of where people are at all times in life.
