CURRENT MISSION

To learn more about other cultures and counseling approaches in other countries to bring back with me to the USA to better help out as many clients as possible. I have a bachelors in international affairs and a masters in social work. I want to be able to find jobs in this area while I am abroad or see if I can find things that I can bring back with me to the USA to better help clients in the USA. My goal is to learn more about the existential approach to counseling and CBT in other countries. I am very interested in learning about others and expanding my horizons. I love changing my perspectives and I like to think that I have a wonderful ability to adapt to any situation.
