Hey everyone, I'm Devin! I currently have my Associates and Bachelor’s degrees in Psychology. Before the pandemic, I was working towards my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. That was put on hold because I have an autoimmune disease that has caused me to be in quarantine for over 1 year at this point. I also have multiple mental illnesses that I have been dealing with for most of my life. I post videos about living with chronic physical and mental illnesses, using both my personal experiences and my educational background in the mental health field. My contact links are included below if anyone would like to reach out!
