Therapists in Reno, NV

Life can be rough sometimes, and it’s so easy to feel stuck, wondering where you’re headed. My goal is to help you find new perspectives and new ways of looking at any situation so that you can approach life with confidence and authenticity. Along with bringing a multicultural perspective to therapy as a therapist of color, I utilize an integrative approach of Narrative, Interpersonal, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapies, and other modalities that fit your unique life journey.

We all experience times when we know things can't stay the same, but we don't know how to make them better. It may be pain, loss, or resentments from the past. Or anxiety about future stressors and uncertainties. Or current struggles that leave us feeling powerless and discouraged. It takes humility to admit that what we're doing isn't working, and it takes courage to try something different. Choosing counseling is choosing to stop waiting for life to get better or waiting for people to change. It's choosing to make the changes we can to change our lives for the better

Therapy can involve harm reduction or strictly abstinent-based approaches. Clinical interventions are offered in individual sessions.

I assist my client in articulating what life area is needing change and to be clear on what the goal would be for that desired change.

Growing up is hard, emotions are harder, and for many children and adolescence, these struggles have us adults worrying about their happiness and how it is impacting their daily life and functioning.

Together, as a cohesive unit, we work to create a treatment experience that is uniquely tailored to your family’s wants and needs.

It's my philosophy to meet you where you are today, and honor you as the expert on your life. I use music therapy as a method for therapeutic change to address many concerns a person may face on their journey, as well as to enhance overall wellness and quality of life.

Life sometimes presents challenges that require one to seek out help. Oftentimes, those challenges can be learning experiences that help one grow and heal. Do you need help with a specific problem that is affecting your life or do you just need general guidance about discovering who you are? My aim is to meet you where you are currently and then partner with you to find solutions for your mental health concerns. Making the decision to seek out therapy can be difficult for some and I will work to make the experience comfortable, safe, and as non-judgmental as possible.

Distracted. Lonely. Confused. Sound familiar? Are you your worst enemy? Has indecision or a "dumb" choice messed up your career, school or personal growth? Do you agonize over decisions? Or are plagued by critical thoughts? You may ask, "Why is this so difficult?" But, you want help. But, you want more than being asked, "How does that make you feel?" You want someone who gets you, gives honest feedback, and offers tools to take ownership of your life. So, let's have a conversation to start moving your life forward.

I have clients who have struggled for decades with debilitating thoughts and behaviors who are now free of negative voices and habits that were not serving them. I am also skilled at empowering couples and/or families that are in high conflict and feeling hopeless.

I try to view the majority of mental health issues through a holistic lens, taking into account and understanding the micro and macro level variables that impact one's mental health concerns (from diet, biology, and family system difficulties, to socioeconomic class and cultural and religious views). I am skeptical of the biomedical model of mental health that often minimizes the role of environmental context while viewing symptoms as pathological things that need to be cured, rather than coping mechanisms that need to be understood.
