My Story
A Colorado native, Josh has always possessed a long standing passion for mental health awareness and de-stigmatization. However, Josh started his professional career in another field, obtaining his Bachelor's of Science in Business Administration from Colorado Christian University and worked in the corporate consulting sphere before pursuing his true passion and pivoting to the field of psychology.
Josh is currently in his last year of his Masters of Arts program at Denver Seminary for Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Additionally, Josh is currently conducting research with Dr. Nahanni Freeman from George Fox University regarding the perceived inclusion of self-in-other and its effects on opinion conformity.
In his free time, Josh enjoys spending time with his friends and family, weightlifting, scuba diving, hiking, reading, and working on his motorcycle.
