CLINICAL INTERN
Pronouns: She/Her
A wearer of many hats, Rosie’s work has woven through food systems, education, housing stability, environmental advocacy, and folk traditions. A systemic perspective guides her thinking and is central to her work as a therapist. Rosie focused her undergraduate studies on community and performing arts at Goucher College, and she has since trained as a mediator, conflict educator, and facilitator. Following a passion for meeting people in their unique emotional and interpersonal challenges, she is currently pursuing a master’s degree in Couples and Family Therapy through Seattle University.
Community has remained central to Rosie’s life since her earliest life experiences. Growing up, she saw a unique side of navigating conflict and decision-making across differences while living in a rural intentional community. Rosie sees close relationships as both the greatest strength and the greatest place of growth, and she is driven to help folks nourish their connections and flourish in the gifts they have to offer.
Rosie works with couples, families, and individuals across the lifespan. She supports those experiencing anxiety, depression, conflict, relational distress, and other mental health challenges. Rosie is passionate about helping people navigate life transitions such as emerging adulthood, divorce/separation, and grieving a loved one. Her theoretical orientation draws from solution-focused therapy, strategic therapy, gestalt therapy, emotionally focused couples therapy, and transgenerational family therapy. Arts and movement have played an important role in Rosie’s life and in her own healing journey. She values bringing creative expression, embodiment, and mindfulness into clinical practice.
Rosie seeks to meet each individual and family in the context of their unique experience and background. Therapy is not a one-size fits all solution, and Rosie approaches it as an ongoing collaboration. She values client feedback and brings curiosity, playfulness, and cultural humility to the process of co-creating a treatment that supports each client’s authentic expression and growth. Rosie seeks to balance compassionate listening, challenging old patterns, and expanding a client’s set of possibilities. She cares about helping clients integrate therapeutic work into the real nuances and constraints of daily life as well as helping them bolster the strengths and support experienced outside of the therapy room.
