Therapy is collaborative, exploratory, and an undoubtedly human experience. I am especially passionate about helping individuals of all ages navigate grief and loss, rewrite trauma-driven narratives, and move toward their most authentic selves. I also feel deeply connected to my work with teens (ages 12+). Adolescence is a dynamic and complex stage of life, and I view it as a privilege to support young people as they explore their identities and navigate the many facets of being. Outside of private pracitice, I work with a community mental health clinic in Reno and a teen-focused non-profit in the North Tahoe/Truckee area.
In a previous life I was an outdoor guide & environmental educator for youth. These experiences continue to influence my work, as I strive to stay curious, and connected to the world around us. I love climbing, hiking, and being in nature, which ultimately helps shape the way I practice.
My approach is rooted in a humanistic, client-centered perspective. Drawing from practices like Acceptance and Commitment, Mindfulness Based, Somatic and Internal Family Systems, I'll always tailor our work to what feels most helpful for you. I’d love to connect — feel free to reach out with any questions or just to say hello!
