I am a clinical intern working on my master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from National University. I began studying psychology in high school and have been drawn to better understand people and their relationships ever since. I received my bachelor's degree from the University of North Dakota in Psychology and Behavioral Health. I am passionate about working with couples and families seeking life changes, better relationships, or help overcoming challenges. My approach to therapy involves Solution-Focused strategies to allow clients to work towards the goals that are most important to them and develop lifelong problem-solving skills to help long after they have left therapy. I also value Cognitive-Behavioral Principles to help shape the mental framework and behavioral changes that occur during the therapeutic process. I believe in helping people find the strengths that already lie within them to help them gain the confidence to overcome adversity and build better relationships. My goal is to foster a safe environment for change and vulnerability. My relationship with God informs my work and shapes how I approach clients with compassion, empathy, understanding, and optimism. In my free time I love reading and enjoying a meal or the outdoors with my friends and family
