“I consider myself very fortunate to have found a career as meaningful and rewarding as clinical psychology. Even after more than 30 years in the field, I still find this work to be fascinating and passionate. Human beings are endlessly fascinating-so similar and yet so unique. And what can be more gratifying than to help people to heal from their suffering and grow towards a happier, healthier place in life? It has been my privilege to learn about the human condition through the many people who have shared their stories with me.”
