Quotes:

“She conquers who conquers herself.”

“I’m always geared to improving a person's understanding of who they are and how they function.”

“Are we truly diagnosing something that is wrong that we can actually heal in a person or is it that we are in a way penalizing a person for not fitting a sick system and we don’t want to diagnose the system?”

“There are so many conversations that we could be having  to really understand everyone's true intersection.”
