Why This Matters to Me
As a licensed clinical social worker with over a decade in the field, my passion has always been helping individuals bridge the gap between emotional healing and practical wellness. Through Mental Summit, I’ve created a space where people can regain clarity, balance, and purpose—not through quick fixes, but through intentional learning, habit-building, and support.
This conversation with Coach Simeon aligns with everything I believe in: that small, consistent choices in movement, mindset, and nutrition are foundational to mental wellness.
