About The Project

Psychology student

This website is a capstone project for a clinical psychology student, designed to be a growing repository of professional resources. It serves as both a practical tool for future clinical work and a demonstration of the ability to curate and present vital information in an accessible format.

Here you will find a collection of documents, research papers, client worksheets, and presentations. The goal is to build a comprehensive, user-friendly hub for students, practitioners, and clients alike.
