Career Plan:
Year 1: After obtaining my MSW degree, I plan to work in mental health as a therapist for the adult population. This population will be a diverse range from a variety of religious, culture, race, ethnic and economic backgrounds. I plan to get certified in ART therapy, EMDR therapy and animal assisted therapy. Advocacy, counseling and crisis are all areas of interest for me.
Year 5: I hope to have earned my LCSW and LMFT. I plan to become trained in animal therapy and ART/EMDR. It is my passion to help individuals overcome their trauma and heal in order to live their lives.
Year 10: I hope to have my own private therapy practice and continue to grow in the helping field.
