Most of my clients arrive saying they have stress, anxiety, depression or trauma that they can't shake. They have often tried therapy before and wonder why nothing really changed long term. That's where I come in. Because beneath most anxiety, stress, depression and trauma, are patterns rooted in experiences that shaped you, long or not so long ago. It shows up in why boundaries are hard to set, self sabotage that makes no sense, toxic relationships that persist, or maybe you just feel broken or have triggers you don't understand. If traditional therapy has not worked, there is a reason and it is not you.
Using a mindfulness based approach that combines EMDR, CBT and IFS, I help people heal these patterns at the root - not just manage the symptoms - so they can finally live the life they want. My clients feel relief within the first month because we go directly to the root cause. Voted Best of Reno Licensed Mental Health Therapist for 13 years 2012-2025.
If something resonated - that is not by accident. I have been practicing EMDR since 2010, long before it came widely known and it remains one of the most powerful tools I use to help people move through what they are dealing with today. The free 15 minute consult is a chance to see if we are a good fit. Give me a call or email, I would love to talk.

I offer Life Coaching as well as therapy. Unlike therapy, coaching is not based on diagnosis or treatment models. It is grounded in lived experience—what has been learned, integrated, and applied through real life—and focuses on practical change in how you relate, communicate, and set boundaries.

I work collaboratively with clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma and related issues. We identify root causes and together develop a plan to heal and become their authentic selves, permanently. Usually that means they become more confident, able to set boundaries and feel better about themselves, to name a few. My clients feel relief in the first month.

I use EMDR/ CBT and coaching extensively in my practice to calm the nervous system and begin to empower the client to set boundaries, take charge of their lives and feel much more confident. Clients appreciate I am direct, engaged and interactive - not just a silent presence in the room.
