Mental Health Counseling Intern (Master’s Level, Supervised)

You hold it together on the outside. But inside? You’re tired of pretending “everything’s fine.” It’s not fine. Anxiety, sadness, stress, old hurts, messy relationships- it all piles up. And white-knuckling through it isn’t cutting it anymore.

I get it. And I’ve got you.

I work with kids, teens, and adults who are overwhelmed, stuck, and just done feeling this way. Panic attacks that hit at school, low moods that you can’t shake off, relationships that feel like an inescapable loop- I see it all. And no, therapy with me isn’t sitting in awkward silence while I nod at you. We’ll talk real talk. We’ll get real about what you’re facing and start building tools to help you rediscover a sense of self-worth and direction.

My style? Direct, compassionate, and never fake. I use CBT (to quiet the harsh inner critic), ACT (to help you stop avoiding your life and start living it), mindfulness (because your nervous system deserves a break), and creative/play therapy for teens and kids (so therapy isn’t torture).

This space is for you- whether you’re 8 or 80, single or partnered, falling apart or just ready for something different. You don’t have to keep pushing through on empty. Therapy can be where you finally exhale. 

So let’s be real: you reached out for a reason. You’re ready. Let’s get started.
