The Empowerment Advocate
Lavalais LPC, PLLC

Hello, it's nice to meet you

Advocating for change through education, conversation & empowerment. 

It's Okay to Not Be Okay

Today's society has stereotyped its views about mental illness and how it affects the average person. What one says can make those who have a form of mental illness afraid as well as those who don't.  Society would have us believe that people with mental health issues are violent or dangerous, which we can conclude that this makes everyone on the same level of being fearful. The emotion fear presents itself to both groups of people. Because both groups fear, it then furthers shows up to everyone as danger. We can avoid danger by simply seeking help and educating ourselves.  It is necessary that we understand that if you feel you need help, that you ask for it.  Your healing is most important not only for you but also your loved ones and society. Here you are in no judgment zone and a safe place.

My thought process regarding starting my own business came in the form of fulfilling a need in the community. I wanted to reach the underserved in the community that were often overlooked. I wanted to do it my way. I wasn’t concerned about quotas or how much money I would bring in. I just wanted to help.
