Why Clinical Psychology Became the Missing Piece

Choosing a Path That Honors Both Mind and Body

My experiences in corporate leadership and fitness instruction began to converge around one truth: people need individualized mental and behavioral health care that acknowledges their lived experiences.

Pursuing a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology allows me to deepen my understanding of human behavior in both professional and personal contexts. I am especially drawn to working with individuals experiencing anxiety and trauma—conditions that often go unseen but deeply influence daily functioning.

My clinical interests include evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, structured problem-solving, group therapy, and individual psychotherapy. My goal is to help individuals identify, understand, and manage their mental health challenges so they can move closer to emotional well-being.

Clinical psychology gives language, structure, and ethical grounding to the work I have already been doing intuitively.
