My journey to mental healthcare
The desire to lead, help, and assist has always been something, I found myself naturally doing. My desire to help youth was my driving force as that desire grew into not just wanting to help youth, but others in difficult stages of their life as I understood we all go through them at times. Lastly, I the grateful to others for allowing me into their world to help as I watch their progress and growth as they overcome life challenges.
