Why did you choose psychology as a profession?
Once I learned that there was a job that combined the scientific understanding of human behavior with helping people live lives of meaning and purpose, I knew that this was the career for me. It provides me immense satisfaction to be able to connect with my patients and see them grow, change, and recover.
Why did you choose to work at Neurocognitive Specialty Group?
I wanted to work with people who are kind, caring, and on top of their game: the kind of people I would send my own family members to if they had concerns. I trust the psychologists and office staff at Neurocognitive Specialty Group, and it is meaningful to me that they thought enough of me and of my work to ask me to join the practice.
