I am currently a psychology student approaching graduation in May of 2025 at Lakeland University pursing a Masters degree in Mental Health Counseling. My internship experience as a behavioral mental health technician has given me a strong foundation of skills to excel in this field. I discovered the importance of a building a foundation of trust between a client and therapist before disclosing feelings. I learned how to model a professional level of empathy and personalism as well as establish rapport with my clients. Additionally, I have experienced communication reports, both orally and written, and have completed the reports in a timely and organized manner. I pride myself with the ability to stay driven, work hard and have fun all while remaining professional and understanding the goal and task at hand.
