What would people be surprised to know about you?
People are generally surprised to learn that I play piano. I’m too shy to play for others so it’s basically a secret!
Name a cause you are passionate about.
I am passionate about helping teenagers come to understand that they have wonderful qualities that the world would love to see more of!
Why did you choose MSP?
MSP is a match both in terms of orientation and the dedication to clinical excellence.
What do you plan to do with your degree?
Upon graduation, I wish to open a practice that capably treats any aspect of the family system. From working with children and teenagers, to teaching parenting, to addressing marital issues, my clients should not have to deal with the disruption that arises from juggling multiple practices and clinicians just to receive the care their family needs.
What is your plan after graduation?
Graduation feels very far away from where I am now, but most likely, I will want to take some time to myself and do some traveling abroad.
