Having had the experiences of working with those who are the most underserved and unheard, including differently abled individuals, mentally disturbed youth incarcerated in juvenile detention centers, to adults newly released from prison, I learned that listening and forming a connection is crucial to being open to growth and receiving assistance. I strive to meet the clients where they are at to form a relationship of mutual trust and respect, guiding and assisting in ways that can work through trauma while promoting a healthier level of mental health.
