She has several beliefs about life and mental health with her clients.  

*  Change is a personal choice which is uncomfortable.

*  You have to learn how you want to be treated in order to show others how they should treat you.  

*  Do not feel that you have to invite everyone in your space, it's a sacred and not everyone deserves that privilege.  

*   Do not wait for anyone to be your cheerleader, be your own. 

 

These are just a few, but they all center around being the sole decision maker of your life and mental health.  

My belief is that our past and our current situation does not make us who we are, but its our ability to rise and push through our struggle that allows us to grow into the people we are destined to be.
