I am a first generation college graduate and been active in the field of mental health since the age of 21. Originally, from North Carolina, USA and raised in a rural area with little opportunity. I have always been immensely curious about the phenomenon of consciousness, self-awareness, and human potential. My educational background is a Bachelors of Art in Psychology and a Masters in Social Work. I am continuing to learn experientially about differing holistic modalities that encompass our health beyond the mental sphere. Personally, I practice aikido, meditation, weight train, play basketball, and am interested in collaborating to manifest a young men's rite-of-passage program.
