What's your business, and who are your customers?

I am a behavioral health therapist. I provide counseling and mental health support to consumers that are suffering from mental illnesses. I also have a nonprofit organization that focuses on supporting individuals through emotional support, financial support, and overall human services.

Tell us about yourself

The reason why I started working on my business was that I wanted to understand what people who were dealing with that was suffering from mental illness. I want it to become a tool and a resource to help people to understand themselves and also to be an advocate for individuals that are not able to speak up for themselves.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

My biggest accomplishment as a business owner is not giving up when obstacles and barriers are in front of me.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

One of the hardest things to deal with as a business owner is staying focused and not allowing things to deter you or to lessen your motivation for your goal.
