When you face obstacles that you've never seen coming, you may start to question yourself. This is what I saw during my time as a Rehabilitation Technician and Educator. I witnessed individuals facing physical restrictions, facing adversities daily, students with low self-esteem, and teachers dealing with life and mental health challenges. Yet, no one was concerned with the mental component at hand. So, I decided I would be that person.

 

My insight into mental health grew stronger during my time at Trinity Washington University as I studied Clinical Mental Health Counseling. There, I began cultivating my therapeutic approach to close the gap between mental health and the Black community. Practicing with a holistic approach I believe "One must understand Part A before they can heal Part B".
