I'm a Certified Mental Health Instructor, Life Coach-Mental Health, Certified Professional Relationship Counseling Cand Certified Pre-Screening Psych Evaluator and CPR. I'm a member of Zeta Phi Beta Inc., via Rho Iota Zeta graduate chapter in Mendenhall, MS. My passion for helping others began early on in life. At the time, I was unsure of “how’ I would achieve this, but knew early on it was my calling to help others. I feel that my first-hand experiences of my own traumas throughout my life has been my motivation. I believes that you “grow through whatever you go through.” I'm very passionate about healing and self-care. My motto is: “If you love what you do, you won’t work a day in your life.”
