About
Bio
The mind is an amazing creation and I strive each day to understand the processes that each and every one of us compile to make up ones life. Right or wrong we each as individuals make decisions that form our lives. I love the study of those who think outside the norm and try to direct them into the right direction. I love working for psychiatry.
