Intern II
We all have our unique stories, and taking authorship of them allows us to understand and develop our identities, discover more effective ways of interacting with the world, and choose new paths to live happier and more meaningful lives. This may mean different things to each of us, but my goal as your counselor will be to learn about what is meaningful to YOU and collaborate with you to understand your past, find more peace and enjoyment in the present, and create a path to the future you want for yourself.
I am a graduate student intern in my final year of pursuing my MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Adams State University. I am passionate about working with young adults, members of the LGBTQ+ community, neurodivergent individuals, people with current or past experiences of religious trauma or spiritual abuse, and many others from all walks of life! My primary approaches to counseling include person-centered and narrative therapy, but I also love implementing mindfulness and creativity into sessions, as well as finding ways to adapt to what works best for you. I see you as the expert on your unique experience and hope to create an environment in which you feel comfortable letting me know what works or doesn't work for you.
Your story is still being written, and I'm here to listen without judgement and help you along your healing journey!
