Personal Experience & Biography
I am Whitestar’s intern from UW-Milwaukee.
I have a background in social work and mental health advocacy. I am hoping to learn and grow with you and ensure you feel heard, seen, and validated through growth.
Hi there! First of all, thank you for even beginning the process of searching for different tools or resources to assist in whatever you may be going through. Sometimes just starting the process of seeking assistance or help can be daunting, so nice work! I am Nick, and I have a bachelors in Social Work from UW-Milwaukee. I am currently pursuing my Masters in Social Work and I have aspirations to become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and therapist! I am currently interning here at Whitestar in order to learn, grow, and assist you along the way.
Everyone has their own definition and experience with therapy, which can range from positive experiences to negative ones. It takes a lot of courage and energy to not only ask for help, but then to grow and move through that process when it gets challenging. I am here to learn along with you, and I hope to bring with me an environment of authenticity to better facilitate a comfortable and safe environment where you feel that you can be seen. I am committed to being a safe space for all communities and walks of life by providing a listening, validating, and comfortable space where you can be authentic to who you are and who you may want to be. Sometimes you may not know these things, which is more than ok too! I am here to support you on your individual journey of growth and help you reach your goals.
While I am open to many different areas of therapy, I hope to provide services that focus on working through grief or challenges processing complex emotions. Although grief is commonly associated with losing a pet or a loved one, which is still challenging, I recognize the wide variety of instances or experiences that may bring on those feelings such as the grief that accompanies large life changes or milestones. I hope to be able to provide a safe space for you to simply feel all of these feelings, while also working together step by step to identify where growth is possible and how to go about that growth. Thanks for being here!
