Despite ethnicity, socioeconomic status, religious affiliation, or any other personal experiences or beliefs, each of us have the same start to life at birth: a pristine slate on which to begin our individual journey. Due to my own personal experiences, I strongly believe I have an affinity for troubled youth, young adults, and families. I know that I am blessed beyond words to have come out of my own childhood trauma with meager scars and have been given the privilege of walking alongside individuals struggling with the same sense of stability and self-worth I encountered as a child.
