Clinical Psychology Doctoral Intern
My goal is to seek out those who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or incapable of living up to their true potential. I believes that change comes from within, and to be able to change, we must feel secure, grounded, supported, and clearly understand what is keeping us from that change. My approach to therapy is based on building a strong, trusting relationship with my clients. The most significant predictor in a good outcome for therapy is when you can trust the therapeutic relationship and feel safe to share and explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. Rather than focusing solely on reducing symptoms, I aim for clients to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and create healthier connections with others. Understanding how we view and express emotions, connect with our own body and mind, and deal with the uncertainty of life, will all be important aspects of our work together. By fostering a sense of safety and self-confidence in the work, it will be easier to extend these feelings into your everyday life and relationships. Openness, Humor, and Commitment are important values in my therapeutic work.
I am in my final year of Augsburg University’s Doctorate in Clinical Psychology program, completing my final internship at Canvas Health. I have experience conducting psychological testing and providing therapy to adults and teens with various physical, emotional, and cognitive needs. I have worked in the mental health field for nearly 10 years at inpatient mental health units, group homes, private practices, community mental health centers, outpatient residential-treatment centers, and as a personal care attendant. These experiences have fueled my ability to instill resilience in the face of adversity, advocate for client’s needs, and commit to delivering individualistic care sensitive to the whatever the client’s specific needs and desires are for growth.
I spend my free time watching movies and sports (Skol Vikings!) and spending time with my wife and son. I love to travel and can be a competitive board game player.
