About
As a prior victim of child abuse and neglect, I have come to learn how to use my own strategies to overcome the strongholds that have paralyzed me in my youth. I finally learned how to heal, but unfortunately these skills do not come naturally and I had to learn the hard way that our mental health system is broken. I want my clients to understand that I can relate as a mother and a former “problem child” who overcame serious obstacles.
There is a proven technique, based on thirty years of research that works on building healthy thoughts, breaking down the old negative, self-defeating ones at the core of our issues (EVERYBODY has issues!!). Basically, I teach others that we all have the power within ourselves to create the life that we desire through a structural (relatively simple) program that dismantles the lies that have held you hostage for years.
Being able to relate to my clients, which builds trust and credibility because they understand that I am in this for the right reasons. Obviously, their progress is the reward that I gain. I do not love making videos, lol, and my friends and family constantly tell me not to play w my hair! Ironically, I started playing w my hair when my mom would drop me off at therapists as a kid to avoid making contact. Since then, it has been a comforting habit that I do when I am nervous.

What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
Results and success in therapy is not related to the number of years of education each professional has, nor how long they have been in practice. The best results occur when therapists are passionate about their job and this is factual. In my opinion, I belive that in order to help someone overcome their issues, being able to relate and having had overcome them yourself creates the best results.
Ask yourself, if someone cannot find happiness within, how can that person lead others to happiness?
