I am a Clinical Intern at Lartey Wellness Group currently pursuing my Master of Social Work degree with a strong professional background in crisis intervention, behavioral health, and client-centered care. In my clinical work, I provide individual and group counseling services while developing my skills under clinical supervision in a therapeutic setting focused on growth, healing, and emotional wellbeing.

Alongside my internship experience, I currently work in high-acuity crisis intervention, where I support individuals experiencing emotional distress, suicidal ideation, housing crises, and other behavioral health emergencies. This experience has strengthened my abilities in de-escalation, active listening, risk assessment, trauma-informed communication, safety planning, and maintaining calm, supportive professionalism during crises.

My therapeutic approach is primarily person-centered, with an emphasis on creating a safe, empathetic, and collaborative environment where clients feel heard and respected. I also utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to help clients build emotional regulation skills, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, improve interpersonal effectiveness, and develop healthier coping strategies.

I am passionate about supporting individuals through complex emotional and interpersonal challenges and am committed to providing ethical, compassionate, and culturally responsive care.
