“The Shrink”
#1
What is your new venture?
I am a licensed clinical mental health clinician aka shrink! I offer telehealth sessions for those who struggle with anxiety, depression, addictions, struggles with faith, finding purpose/meaning and other issues as well.
#2
Why does the world need what you're offering?
I found a new love for life when I allowed a therapist to help guide me in areas I didn't know how to be guided in.
Life has a unique way of testing your limits and that's actually a good thing!
I'm of the belief that we have to look into areas we don't want to look, so we can get what we need. (Thanks Carl Jung!)
I value life and all that I believe God can give through it. And because of that value, it's my responsibility to seek out its treasures.
#3
What was the moment(s) that prompted you to start it?
I think just working with a solid group practice and hearing their story of how they started got me curious to see where I can risk it and take the chance on myself.
#4
Who are some people in your life that have been influential in getting you to where you are today?
There's probably an array of people that I can think of. Some of them are: my wife, my brother, my homies who are also in the psychology world, Dr. Irvin Yalom, and the hardcore punk scene.
#5
What question did I NOT ask that I should have asked, if I want to learn some interesting info from you? :)
Most unique job?
I was a personal trainer for toddlers at one point!
