How gravely ironic that as a society we enforce more regulations to hold us accountable

All the while sabotaging, depleting our own innate resources and regulatory system.

The fear and hate so ingrained

Toxins leach from emotions buried and lives we’ve left behind;

Like the layers of an onion,

  The deeper I cut the fumes implore,

  Grieve, for goodness’ sake… Believe!

Give yourself permission to truly be:

  Let go, fear less, LOVE MORE…

                        Be the change you want to see in the world

  Be present;

                     a gift to everyone, thing you see…

                                   Starting with me.

While I share personal and professional perspectives, my writings reflect my personal opinion and are not intended to substitute professional advice, diagnosis, and treatment thus the content shared on this page is for informational purposes only. This online medium does not lend itself to the level of detail and rapport building required for thorough assessment and therapeutic intervention. To make well-informed decisions that best meet your family’s unique needs, I highly recommend exploring and researching available options, consulting primary healthcare providers, engaging in respectful dialogue with friends and family as well as seek referrals from a trusted source for professional counseling.
