First, welcome — truly. If you’re here exploring this internship, it already tells me something meaningful about you. This program isn’t just about checking a box for school; it’s about who you’re becoming as a future professional.

My hope is that your time with us offers a real, grounded sense of what it means to show up for others in this work — not with perfection, but with presence, curiosity, and compassion. created this internship because I believe real learning comes from experience, mentorship, and exposure — the kind of growth that happens beyond textbooks. The counseling and wellness fields are rich, complex, and deeply human, and I wanted to offer a space where students can see how a practice truly works through a trauma-informed, relational, and nervous-system-centered lens.

Across my years working with individuals, couples, families, and systems, I’ve learned that healing isn’t linear and that safety, connection, and attunement shape everything we do. As a therapist, supervisor, and educator, my purpose is to help people reconnect with themselves — and to support the next generation of professionals in doing this work with integrity and heart.

At NEO Mind Body Collab, our three branches — counseling, wellness, and professional training — are designed to work together to support whole-person healing. This internship is your invitation into that ecosystem, where you can see how each part connects and why our integrated approach matters.

Here, you’ll learn the art and science behind this field — not just what we do, but why we do it. You’ll be supported, challenged, and encouraged to reflect on your own growth as you begin shaping your voice and identity as a professional.

I’m honored you’re here and excited to welcome you into a community that values humility, authenticity, and meaningful learning.
