First in my family to earn my Bachelor's degree, and now I am working toward earning my Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health. Upon graduation, I plan to establish a family counseling practice. My goal is to break the generational maladaptive behaviors within the family unit. People of color are least likely to seek counseling due to the stigmas and financial barriers associated with it. Once I start my practice, I will be the proverbial family member families need to bring light, joy, and healing.
