As a practicum trainee at GTC, I have been conducting individual psychotherapy with a caseload of clients, many of whom I have been observing and cross-training with in Low-Energy Neurofeedback System (LENS) Therapy. I’ve been trained in several different specialty areas (see didactic trainings) as well as mentored through developing several of my own Professional Continuing Education workshops.

  • My current role as an independent clinician at a group practice has allowed me to lean into my unique identity as a counselor and gain experience managing my own caseload, schedule, client communication, and billing. Through supervision and mentorship, I have refined my therapeutic approach as well as taken advantage of several training opportunities to expand upon my clinical skills. This practice utilizes Google Suites and Simple Practice as its primary online platforms.
