I am a Marriage and Family Therapist Intern. This means I have my Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology: Marriage and Family Therapy and working on the daunting task of completing 3,000 hours to become licensed. I am learning and growing daily from this challenging job. I find myself praying for strength and wisdom daily. I want to instill hope in my clients as they maneuverer through their incredibly difficult life circumstances. I want them to have a renewed zest for life. I am constantly humbled and grateful for the individuals who come into my office and share their story with me. The therapeutic relationship is a sacred space that I do not take lightly. The heaviness of the stories stays with me at times and I feel the weight as I carry their story. I pray that I continue to grow and learn. Thankfully, my clients teach me new things each day that inspire me to push forward in my own life journey.
