What Motivates Me?

Ms. Brown originates from Jamaica and moved to America in her late teens. As a West Indian, she values honesty, integrity, individuality, hard work, creativity, education, family, and free expression. Ms. Brown has incorporated her passion for talk therapy with expressive means as a way of promoting a safe space for participants to create, share, and form meaningful bonds. Although she mainly handles our behind the scene operations and therapeutic aspects, she often doubles as an instructor and regularly engages with customers. Her hands on approach, core values, dedication to our cause, and compassion for our students are what makes Ms. Brown an incomparable asset to P.O.P Art Academy.

Modality

She has worked with various populations to address trauma, grief and loss, relationship issues, behavior modification, inner child issues, substance abuse, parent-child interactions, mental health symptoms (such as, anxiety and depression), abandonment, stress management, identity disorders, personality disorders, and self-esteem, among others.
