Therapists in Southwest, Reno, NV

It takes courage to ask for help and I commend you for taking the initiative. In a very comfortable and supportive environment, I will help you to create the life that you want by providing you with specific skills/tools that are designed to be regularly practiced and applied in order for change to occur. I will also share the neurobiology behind the suggested new principles so that you understand why they are successful. I work with adults and mature adolescents only who are truly ready to invest in their personal growth. Living presently and without stress, fear, guilt, and worry is absolutely possible.

We offer SOCIAL DISTANCE THERAPY(nature walk and talk outdoor one-on-one counseling) . Right now, we are missing meaningful social connections and we suffer in isolation . We can always better ourselves. If you have an interest benefiting from a unique counseling that includes processing challenges and brisk exercise walking through the beautiful nature of the Truckee River-walk District, you will enjoy this therapy. Walk and talk therapy is a healthy form of self care that can lead you to balance and equilibrium during these trying times. Together, we can help turn an wicked problem into a manageable challenge.

Inevitably, life brings waves of uncertainty for all of us. As a clinician, there is no greater honor than to walk alongside others through their challenges. The foundation of the counseling environment I seek to provide is rooted in nurturing and supportive qualities, allowing for a safe and non- judgmental space to foster new insights and growth. Confidentiality and trust are emphasized as the catalyst for strong rapport, which I believe to be crucial to the effectiveness of the counseling experience.

Choosing a therapist that you connect with is often the most important ingredient to successful therapy. It can be daunting to find the right fit and scary to expose yourself. To foster our therapeutic relationship, I will strive to create a safe space to explore your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and experiences. The core of my relational style is authentic and warm, and I will adapt to your personality and pace, so you feel supported rather than pushed. I seek to assist individuals, couples, and families in achieving deeper, more fulfilled relationships and connections with both themselves and the people around them.

I've always believed that my own life's journey and experiences have uniquely prepared me in my desire to help others. I am passionate about working with survivors of trauma. I believe each of us has within us, the ability to heal and grow from any difficulty life hands us. Sometimes we just need the guidance of a caring and competent therapist to carry us through. We all desire to feel safe, seen, and supported when we are our most vulnerable selves. My hope is to provide this kind of therapeutic alliance with my clients. One where the client knows best and I am but a trusted ally on their journey toward better health.

I believe everyone can benefit from therapy. Therapy is a space where you can safely explore your deepest emotions and scariest thoughts, learn and practice new skills, and find additional resources. I can support you as you grow into the version of yourself you feel most proud to be. I can help you grow as an individual, improve your relationship as a couple, or help break unhealthy cycles in your family. I also work with divorced/separated couples who are co-parenting - this can be really difficult work, but it's so important for the health of your children and family in the long-run!

Are you facing a significant life change? Are you grieving the loss of someone or something? Do you feel a bit rudderless and directionless with your life right now? Are you a caregiver? Life provides us with opportunities to solve problems and learn about ourselves on a deeper level. Confusion, depression, and anxiety can cause one to feel stuck. All this can add stress to your life that often effects both your mental well being and your physical health. During those times having someone who can guide you in working through troubling emotions and difficult decisions can make the process less overwhelming.

Not accepting new patients. It takes courage to seek help and I admire you for taking this step. Anxiety is a normal emotion while trying to conceive, pregnant or postpartum, but at times we can become paralyzed in fear, hooked on our thoughts, and struggle with uncertainty. My role as a licensed psychologist is to gently help women understand how their mind and behavior are working for them or against them. In our work together you will grow, heal, and learn to implement skills which will help you live a life that is meaningful to you. My specialties including maternal anxiety/depression, infertility, OCD, and perfectionism.

Life can be challenging at times, creating confusion and pain in our day to day. Direct and practical in my approach I look to your current situation, experiences and foundation in finding solutions. Together we will identify what's creating the discomfort, what may be keeping it present in your life and what changes can be made to move forward in the direction you desire.

Seeking help can be a difficult challenge that requires bravery and perseverance. However, it is often the first step to a greater quality of life and finding peace and contentment. My mission is to help you succeed in this journey. I can help you manage anxiety, anger, and depression, or process past trauma. Let’s work together to identify ways of thinking or behavior that no longer serve you.

Your child has been struggling in school and at home and you worry that your child is not happy. Perhaps your child experienced something traumatic, or is struggling to cope with big emotions and life stressors.

Throughout life, we often experience difficult times, times of stress, anxiety, sadness, and challenges which tend to contribute to our overall narrative of life. It is my belief that we all deserve to have support through those difficult times. I provide a space for a human connection first and foremost, space where the foundation of the work we do together is ensuring you feel heard and understood. I work to use empathy, kindness, and curiosity to join you in your journey of self-exploration and fulfillment.

Many of us work really hard to appear “normal,” hoping no one will notice how anxious, burnt out, confused, or angry we are. We often feel lost and alone even though it looks like we have it figured out. We beat ourselves up when we feel like we don’t get it right and we wonder if we’ll ever be able to figure it out. The idea of someone finding out the depth of our struggle is terrifying.

I approach my work with clients from the perspective that mental and emotional challenges are often a sign that something is out of balance. While this imbalance may be uncomfortable, even deeply painful at times, it can be a strong motivator for change. Positive change occurs when we are willing to bring our full awareness to our lives, including the difficult and painful parts. This process is facilitated by a safe, supportive environment and a willingness to explore new ways of thinking, feeling, and engaging with the world.

Consider this an invitation to begin therapy. The agenda includes an opportunity to seek change, process emotions, and reflect. It is flexible, it moves at your own pace, and it is tailored to your uniqueness. The time and date are your choosing. While I provide the guidance and navigation, the goals are mutually agreed upon. The location is my office at Midtown Mindfulness, where I humbly await your presence. In a therapy session with me, you can expect someone who will listen, engage you in the process of treatment planning, and provide direction. I pride myself in transparency, authenticity, and a commitment to ethical standards.

My goal in counseling clients is to support and walk alongside my clients as they heal, change, grow and become someone they love unconditionally. Counseling is a collaborative process that helps clients gain self-awareness and acceptance. Life is tough and people do not always have the support they need to navigate it. I believe everyone’s voice is important and work hard to provide a safe space for people to have a voice. People are unique in the way they view society, family, relationships, and themselves; so, providing a non-judgmental space for them to be free and gain awareness is something I strive for in counseling clients.
