Maybe you’re walking through life, going through the motions, and struggling to see why you keep going. Your mind races in circles. You’re easily irritated, angry, and panic. Or maybe you are struggling to fully embrace life in the ways you previously did. Anxiety is preventing you from being your true self. You try so hard but can’t get it right. It’s exhausting and you’re expected to do it all again tomorrow. What’s the point? Change, that’s impossible!

My first professional license was in Addiction Counseling from Triton College in Chicago, IL.

I have worked with children, adolescents and adults in various levels of treatment including, Inpatient, Partial Hospitalization, Intensive Outpatient and Outpatient settings. My specialty is working with co-occurring disorders of mental health and addiction.

All the way from the desert planes of Arizona, I have made my home in the city of Reno for the past 10+ years. I fell in love with the four season aesthetic as I acquired both my Bachelor's and Master's of Social Work at the University of Nevada, Reno. Outside of treatment, I have two other jobs including teaching part time at my alma mater and volunteering at my local Teamsters union supporting people within the labor movement. Outside of work, if I am not fighting off dragons with my friends in D&D, I am either going through old cookbooks refining my chef skills or sipping tea with my family in the backyard gazing at the stars.

As a therapist I aim to assist my clients where they are in their journey. Some clients are seeking to improve themselves through developing self-awareness and insight. Some clients are battling invisible illnesses as most mental health concerns are. Whether they are looking to expand their skills, find a place to discuss the daily concerns of life or heal I will walk with them on that journey. My aim is to work along side and cheer on my clients as they accomplish their goals. I have recently been trained in Brainspotting, a body based treatment that allows for deeper level processing. I am excited to integrate this into work.

Fundamentally I believe in meeting a client where he, she, or they are at in the moment. Knowing where a client is followed by learning where they want go in personal development. Working with clients to help them along their journey to that goal. Sometimes goals change, or circumstances emerge that alter a path. Transitioning to new goals or paths, or after bump in the road or derailment getting back on track is not easy. Everyone needs support to help through transitions and hurdles. One of the most difficult things a person does is ask for help –walking through the door the first time.

Hope is like a seed planted in a garden. If properly tended the potential for beauty and goodness is vast; if ignored, the seed may grow for a moment only to be choked out by weeds. Hope is also believing that a positive outcome is possible despite the challenges being endured. My approach in therapy is to help reveal hope by providing caring support, clarity, unbiased feedback, new coping skills, new communication skills, and a safe place to sort through the trials you are facing. Initial goals attended to include restoring hope that something will change for the better and earning your trust through being a safe person for you.

Have the terrible 2's never stopped or gotten worse after your child turned 2.5 yrs? Do you have a young child with more frequent, long, or intense temper tantrums and behavior problems than is expected for the child’s age? Does your child seem to get a thrill out of purposely annoying others, get in trouble regularly at preschool, or react with defiance and aggression to adult requests and limits? Or, is your child so anxious that you are dreading daycare or school drop offs because your child has to be pried off of you? Is your child struggling to adjust to a big transition like parents’ divorce, a new sibling, grief, or trauma?

Do you feel like you don't fit in? Are you chronically overwhelmed, anxious, or numb? Do you feel disconnected from yourself and your needs? Have a history of addiction or compulsive people-pleasing? Many of my clients are neurodivergent and/or highly sensitive, shouldering the burden of chronic shame, masking, burnout, anxiety, obsessive thinking, or underlying trauma. I enjoy helping people cultivate loving, trusting relationships with themselves and others, through co-creating an environment of safety and nurturance where intuition is celebrated, and we work with the mind-body system, rather than against it.
