Why did you become a mental health professional?
I think resolving other people’s pain is the most important thing a person can do with their life.
What are your interests outside of work?
Reading, playing with my 20-month-old son, spending time with family and friends, watching shows and movies
What book have you read more than once?
Lincoln in the Bardo, to see if I understood it differently the second time.
Do you have any pets?
My cat Shadow was diagnosed with feline AIDS shortly after birth but showed no symptoms beyond a high white cell count which could, of course, have many causes. So I fought the pet store and vet who wanted to put her down until it was determined that she had nothing serious at all. Six years later, she’s still terrorizing my family for treats and FaceTiming for belly rubs without once having become sick.
