    “I have a passion for working with individuals who need nonjudgmental support and encouragement to work through past trauma and current barriers to achieve their goals; women and children, and first responders, such as doctors, nurses, social workers and teachers in particular. Equally important to me is dispelling the negative connotation associated with mental health care within communities of color and amongst youth. We all need someone to talk to at some point in our lives. It is my desire to be a change agent and do my part to make this world a better place.”
