Clinical Intern
Brief info
As a Clinical Intern at Your Story Counseling, I am committed to providing clients with a calming and comfortable space to grow in emotional clarity, resilience, and fortitude. No matter what story a client is living, I believe they are inherently capable of positive growth and change. I look forward to serving a wide variety of clients, from children to adults navigating a spectrum of issues dealing with anxiety, depression, and trauma. In addition, I am also prepared to work with clients enduring other hardships involving relationships, life transitions, stress management, and burnout.
To meet a client’s individual needs, we explore childhood experiences and attachment styles and analyze thought patterns that influence behavior. In developing my skill set as a therapist through coursework and clinical experience, I can offer a client-centered environment that provides empathy, compassion, and quality care to those I am honored to serve.
My ten years of experience leading a nonprofit organization supporting adolescents and families facing mental health challenges, low self-esteem, self-injury, and suicidal ideation prepared me professionally to work with youth and family systems. I am dedicated to supporting individuals at any stage to establish a meaningful life path for their future.
