Marriage and Family Therapist Intern

The deepest kind of suffering is the kind we experience alone. I believe that healing and growth begin with the simple act of sharing, even when it feels scary or uncertain. When we do share, we make room for peace, connection, and hope for something different. By reading this, you’ve already taken a brave first step toward change, and I’m glad you’re here.
I especially enjoy working with children and teens as they navigate the challenges of growing up, understanding their emotions, building confidence, and finding their place within their families and relationships. Sometimes kids don’t have the words to explain what they’re experiencing, and sometimes teens aren’t quite sure they want to talk about it at all. My goal is to meet them where they are, creating a space where they can feel comfortable being themselves while developing tools to better understand and express what’s going on beneath the surface. I also value partnering with parents and families when appropriate, recognizing that meaningful change often extends beyond the therapy room. I take an open-handed, collaborative approach to therapy, tailoring our work to your goals while empowering you to become the healthiest version of yourself. As a systemically trained therapist intern, I believe healing often begins when we take a closer look at our relationships, whether between parent and child, siblings, spouses, friends, or anywhere in between. I also enjoy working individually with clients and value creating a space to explore the experiences, patterns, and emotions that have shaped who you are. I consider it a great honor to walk alongside my clients as they share a glimpse of their lives—the good, the hurt, and everything in between. My goal is to provide a space where you can show up just as you are and feel supported from the very beginning. I believe fruitful conversations begin when the therapist and client genuinely connect, so if you feel like I may be a good fit for you, your child, or your family, I’d love to hear from you. |
