About me
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Behavior Specialist, Certified Employment Support Professional & Professor of Psychology. My goal is to educate the community about the importance of mental health treatment in order to play my small part in eradicating the stigma that plagues communities of color about mental illness.
An extension of Journey To Lotus LLC, which has re-focused resources and support to the helping professional, The Lotus W.E.L.L is a non-profit, 501c(3) therapeutic organization with a primary focus on making mental health treatment and alternative treatment options accessible to the community. We strive to accomplish this goal by empowering our clients and members, neighbors and helping professionals through resources, education, evaluation and interactive experiences provides.
Our diverse wellness team and mental health professionals, practice from a person-centered and holistic model attentive to the 8 Dimensions of wellness. Wellness is multi-dimensional, and when there is even an imbalance in one dimension, it will likely impact all of the other areas. Therefore, although a person's primary treatment will consist of us supporting them through resolving and/or managing presenting concerns, we pursue and accomplish these strides by considering the “WHOLE” person, incapsulating all 8 wellness dimensions: mental/emotional, physical, intellectual, occupational, environmental, social, spiritual and financial.
