What are some of the benefits of your psychology degree?
Studying psychology at UW-Madison inspired my interest in mental health and introduced me to the field of Dance/Movement Therapy and Couple and Family Therapy.
How did you find your way to your current profession?
I wanted to combine what I learned from psychology degree with my life-long passion for dance. I volunteered at the the Hancock Center for Dance/Movement Therapy in Wisconsin and decided to pursue the profession of psychotherapy.
