Undergrad
Earning my doctorate from Spalding University’s School of Professional Psychology (SOPP) in 2016 was truly a transformative experience. The program’s emphasis on the scholar-practitioner model equipped me with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel in private practice, allowing me to confidently assess, accurately diagnose, and effectively treat my patients. Spalding’s SOPP also provided invaluable practical experience, ensuring I was well-prepared to begin my professional journey upon graduation and licensure.
