​
Raven earned her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Northern Iowa in 2019. Her dream of pursuing a career in the mental health field originated in early high school following an Introduction to Psychology course, as this experience contributed to a sense of understanding of herself and others. The gift of insight was something she felt driven to continue to pursue and share with others.
Raven is passionate about creating an inclusive and non-judgemental environment where all individuals feel valued and heard. Her goal is to support and encourage clients as they embark on their journey of selfdiscovery, while providing a safe space to explore personal goals, navigate challenges, nurture relationships, and process significant life events.
In her role as a student therapist, Raven aims to work collaboratively with clients to envision and achieve a life that is personally fulfilling and meaningful to them. She understands that this is unique to each person, and she is motivated to support clients in their pursuit of knowledge, understanding, healing, and personal growth.
Raven believes that focusing on her clients strengths and building a supportive therapeutic relationship can be transformative and provide a foundation for meaningful change. Her therapeutic approach is thoughtful and curious; always seeking to understand the unique dynamics of each individual and family she works with. Guided by core values of authenticity, compassion, empathy, kindness, and acceptance, Raven strives to cultivate enriching connections with every client she serves.
Beyond her professional endeavors, Raven dedicates her time to volunteering at a local cat rescue, watching horror films, exploring diverse cuisines, thrifting, craft projects, and cherishing quality time with the meaningful people in her life.
