About Me
Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?
I became a therapist for an array of reasons. My main reason was due to my own experiencing with caring for my youngest son mental health with the lack of support and services we encountered. Early 2000's some brown children with Autism's spectrum were not treated fair in society and my son was one of these children. I want to provide support and encouragement to each client that I meet, inspire them to be themselves.
About Me
What does a typical session with you tend to look like?
A typical session with me, will be very warmly and genuine. The client will be supported, judgement free, humor, fun, positive and cheerful.
