My journey to mental healthcare
I understand trauma (life) and the impact that is has on our lives and the way we function. I cannot stop all the negative things we face from happening, but I can help provide the skills that will make it a smoother ride. Helping others to be their best self and live the best life is what drives me in my career. Watching others learn their own strengths and move forward with positive thinking and self-love is my reward.
My goals for you
