time with his wife, Grace, and son, Holden. He also enjoys venturing into the mountains for many different activities
(hiking, snowboarding, and just being). His wife has also facilitated within him a deep joy for reading, for which he is
forever gratefulJohn Barr is a 4th-year student in the Combined Clinical/Counseling Program under the mentorship of Dr. Maria
