Your authority is in your authenticity, simply meaning the more honest, accepting, vulnerable and open you are with yourself first, is the more empowered you will be to address and heal any area of your life. We must radically accept our selves with compassion and honor. Self honor is the beginning of personal freedom. Radical self acceptance is the antecedent. I promote and empower positivity in your daily reality. Many of us struggle with societal and internal pressures and judgements. Because we judge ourselves in our minds, we find ourselves trapped often in them,limiting our potential and dishonoring our truths. I want to partner with you by helping you get out of your mind and past ways and get into your life, living in the present possibilities. My ideal client(s) are people who are willing to learn and grow within. I have no biases with religion, size, race, sexuality age and gender. It is my practice to be judgement free and accepting.

As Eckhart Tolle once mentioned, "most humans are never fully present in the now because unconsciously they believe that the next moment must be more important than this one, but then you miss your whole life, which is never not now." My focus is living in the present and being where your feet land, to be in the present and focus on the current. I received my master's degree Social Work from Wayne State University. I have provided mental health services to adolescents, younger adults, and seniors in psychiatric and medical health settings.

Stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship problems and unexpected life events (past and present) can get in the way of how we live our lives. We can work together to figure it out at a pace that is comfortable for you. My priorities are building your trust and helping you feel safe to work through whatever is causing you pain.
