Graduate Student Interns
Riverbank Therapy is a practice that believes in investing in the growth and development of the counselors of the future. We host several interns throughout the year, typically for 9-12 months at a time.
Working with an intern has several benefits:
flexible schedules, often including evenings and weekends
comprehensive supported therapy (our interns get 1 hour of individual supervision with one of our licensed therapists per week, plus 1-3 hours of group supervision per week)
growing in your own life, while also supporting the growth of new counselors

In therapy together, we will navigate through different life changes, explore your relationships, and develop a strong sense of who you are. I will support you in being true to your authentic self, building confidence, and feeling empowered to advocate for what you need.
My approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), humanistic therapy, psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness, and cross-cultural therapy. I will work to understand your story, where you come from, and how your background and identities impact your experience in life. I tend to have a strong emphasis on problem-solving, emotional regulation, and role-playing to help you build viable tools to use when real-life challenges arise.
I am particularly passionate about supporting teens, adults, and minority families who struggle with imposter syndrome, body image, social anxiety, perfectionism, and ethical and non-ethical non-monogamy.
l am currently completing my final year of a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling (CMHC) at Bellevue University (expected graduation August 2026).

Wherever you find yourself in life, I am here to meet you there. You may need support getting through some of the toughest times, or you may feel more in need of reassurance and encouragement to keep on the path you’re on.
I use multiple therapy modalities to support you, wherever you’re at. These include: narrative therapy, emotion-focused therapy, and solution-focused therapy. Together, we’ll create a safe, affirming, positive environment to help you explore, ask questions, reflect, and reach goals that you have set for yourself. With over 20 years in education as both a teacher and administrator, I have the experience to help counsel clients of all ages during various life stages.
I am currently completing my final year of a Masters of Science degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling (CMHC) at Seattle University (expected graduation October 2025).
