Why Kathie Chose Psychology
I was initially drawn to the psychology profession as I was interested in developing a deeper understanding of the mind and body connection. I believe that a healthier mind, leads to a healthier life. I really enjoy assisting people in developing a clearer and stronger sense of who they are, and helping them bring more purpose and meaning into their lives.
