Hi Are you looking for a non-judgemental, kind, experienced therapist? It would be a privilege to be your therapist, and join you on your journey to better health and happiness. I respect your life, your heart and your pursuit of a better life and better relationships. I have worked the past 20 plus years helping and supporting people struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, emotional dysregulation, heartbreak and relationship loss and the sometimes vague and hidden symptoms of trauma and PTSD.

You're lost in the weeds of to-do's, obligations, & responsibilities; your mind a cacophony of distractions clamoring for your attention. At some point, this life you built got so busy that you're no longer enjoying it. Instead, you're overwhelmed by the anxiety of it all; sure that something will go horribly wrong. You tell yourself that these worries aren't real, just scary stories you contemplate- your own "monster under the bed". So you push them to the back of your mind and slap a smile on your face, forging on. Unfortunately, until we open the door to face the boogeyman, that gnawing feeling of dread won't ever really go away.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in both the state of Nevada and California with over eight years of experience in the mental health field. I have over 6 years of experience working in a community mental health setting with a focus on trauma informed care for children, teens and adults. I also have experience working with couples using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to guide couples in understanding each other and communicating effectively.

As a Spiritual Director and a Faith-based Counselor, I help women get unstuck spiritually, relationally, and emotionally. After doing my Masters Degree, I wanted to help women grow in their emotional, spiritual and relational lives. I help individuals that are experiencing grief, life transitions, wanting healthier relationships, dealing with toxic family members, wanting to experience more of their true self and worth, and who are experiencing anxiety, or depression. I help individuals create a healthier spiritual life with God and help women discover more of their voice and true self.

I am empathic and offer encouragement to my clients to assist in fostering hope and a successful counseling outcome. I am supportive of clients who view their faith and/or spirituality as a significant tool in the recovery process. I have served adult and youth clients presenting with disorders, such as schizophrenia, bipolar, severe depression, anxiety, panic attacks, personality disorders, self-harm (cutting), and dual diagnosis. I have also provided therapeutic services for clients with co-occurring disorders including alcohol and substance abuse, and multiple layers of issues. My clinical experience includes assessment, diagnosis, and crisis counseling. Additional therapeutic services include clients experiencing domestic violence.

Do you feel overwhelmed by all the pressures of parenting your teen? No matter what your parenting style, being a parent with teens isn't easy. The pressures on you to navigate a teen's transition into adulthood can cause anxiety, sleepless nights, and arguments. Imagine waking up rested in the morning, feeling comfortable and close to your child. Managing all the demands of your day and still having the time and energy to laugh or problem solve when you get home at night. My positive and encouraging style helps parents find an effective and realistic approach, and helps teens feel better.
