As I wrap up the spring semester, being called "Professor Ken" has been rewarding! GCU College of Humanities and Social Sciences, I am filled with gratitude and pride. It has truly been an honor to teach my first class of graduate students in Mental Health, Wellness, and Health Care Integration. Witnessing their growth, insights, and commitment to becoming competent clinicians has been a privilege.

To my current students—thank you for sharing your learning journey with me. And to my future students— I look forward to guiding you as we explore the intricate relationships of mental health.

Here’s to continued growth, learning, and healing in the world of counseling! 🌿✨
