Clinical Graduate Intern

I am passionate about supporting children, adolescents, young adults, and families as they navigate emotional and relational challenges. I have a special interest in working with families and individuals living with disabilities, as well as those experiencing anxiety, depression, self-worth, perfectionism, and wanting to build emotional awareness and regulation.  

​

My therapeutic approach is grounded in compassion, empathy, and evidence-based practices, drawing from Internal Family Systems, Solution Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy while incorporating psychoeducation to help clients deepen their understanding of themselves and their experiences.

​

​Outside the therapy room, I enjoy crocheting, spending time with family and friends, and settling in with a good book. I believe healing is nurtured through connection, curiosity, and compassion, and I strive to bring those values into every session.
