My most recent endeavors have been learning how to heal without medication. Many don't know that 90% of our brain's serotonin is made in our gut. Let me teach you how to feel better by eating the right foods. I also have a great deal of experience working with adolescents and can effectively provide emotional and behavioral support for youth with wide array of needs utilizing a holistic and strengths-based clinical approach.

“You can’t go back &. change the beginning, but you can start where you are & change the ending” - C.S. Lewis.
I consider knowing when to ask for help to be a strength & true resilience. It’s unfortunate that society suggests otherwise w/ a stigma attached to mental health. I can help reduce the shame attached to the behavior and get to the root cause
