Summary
Clinical Mental Health Counseling student at Marshall University seeking a Fall 2026 internship at Momentum Counseling and Consultation. I bring proven experience in independent caseload management and crisis intervention from my practicum at Bethke Elementary School, where I served as a primary point of contact for student mental health needs. Trained in PCIT-SM (Parent-Child Interaction Therapy for Selective Mutism), I am committed to evidence-based, goal-oriented intervention and multidisciplinary collaboration. With a background in neurodiversity advocacy and high-volume professional relationship management, I am prepared to manage the independent caseload requirements of a private group practice while upholding Momentum’s core values of safety, trust, and empowerment.
