Name a cause you are passionate about.
I’m very passionate about attempting to understand the nature of reality, especially as it pertains to the crossroads of traditional religious structures, psychology, literature, and philosophy.
Why did you choose º£½ÇÂÒÂ×?
I chose to attend º£½ÇÂÒÂ× because of the suggestion of my dear friend, who believed that my capacity to grow and be patient with others would be well-suited to the work therapists undertake on a daily basis.
What do you want to do with your degree?
With my degree, I intend to begin working as a therapist in the state of Michigan. Over time, I would like to begin my own private practice and specialize in working with individuals who suffer from varying degrees of Anxiety and Anxiety Disorders.
How did you first get interested in the mental health profession?
I first became interested in Psychology through the undergraduate Philosophy courses that I took at Saginaw Valley State University. Subsequently, I then worked for a cemetery, as well as for several funeral homes, with individuals in varying degrees of grief and psychological distress. Entering into the mental health profession, through a Master’s program in Psychology, was the natural next step, after that for me.
