"Counseling wherever and whenever you are ready". Providing mental health and substance abuse services for the past eight (8) years to children, adolescents, and adults has made me a firm believer that access to counseling services should be a human right and not a privilege due to socioeconomic status.
I value the lives of all individuals seeking counseling services, providing evidence-based mental health and substance abuse services regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, and/or sex.
MENTAL HEALTH IS NOT A JOKE
