LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapists in Reno, NV
As a Marriage and Family Therapist I treat adults and couples with a collaborative, strengths-based approach. I believe challenges are not personal flaws but reflections of broader patterns, and therapy can help uncover healthier ways of relating. I hold a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Counseling/Therapy from Capella University and a Bachelor of Science in Human Services from the University of Phoenix. I’m trained in psychotherapy and family systems, which allows me to understand concerns within the context of relationships that shape behavior.

My clinical background includes extensive training and experience in perinatal mental health, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), LGBTQIA+ and gender-affirming care, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder treatment/Exposure & Response Prevention Therapy, and trauma-focused therapy.
My approach is person-centered and flexible, drawing from DBT, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), internal family systems therapy (IFS), solution-focused therapy, and psychodynamic perspectives. Building genuine human connection is at the heart of my work.

I believe that when we feel safe, seen, and heard, healing becomes possible. That’s the heart of any healthy relationship, and it’s what I hope to offer in the space we create together during our sessions. With a trauma-informed approach, I understand that all kinds of things can come up, be they attachment or inner-child wounds, grief, anxiety, depression, negative self-talk, or coping habits that just don’t work anymore. My goal is to help you understand what you’ve been carrying this whole time, and support you in building a new way of living that feels more connected and true to who you are.

I work with a diversity of clients from LGBTQIA to veterans and more.
Does the weight of chronic stress, childhood emotional wounds, or complex trauma seem to be closing in? Has your mental health consumed your life and you are not sure where to turn? You seem to be holding everything together possibly by a thread or you may be at your wits end. Maybe experiencing anxiety, hyper-vigilance, depression, emotionally overwhelmed. Your life seems like it is in a perpetual loop of doom. You want relief, safey, calm, and more grounded in your relationships. You are looking for support that goes deeper than talk therapy, someone who can connect you to deeper healing and break through the patterns.

As your clinician, I will meet you exactly where you are on this path. You can expect to be met with a compassionate, empathetic, and committed response to your care needs.
