Female Therapists in Truckee, CA

My clients come to me from many walks of life. From teens, relatively new to life, to the venerable, older generation who come with a wealth of experience. Sometimes we all need someone to walk along side of us for a while, to try on new perspectives and receive encouragement to practice new behaviors.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist who has devoted most of my experience to working with adolescents and their families supporting the transition from childhood to young adulthood for both parents and teens. I also work extensively with couples, both in supporting the parental relationship as well as strengthening parenting skills, as I have found that with the mounting stress in today's society, a strong home foundation improves the whole system.

As humans, we all have varying identities and they ebb and flow over time. Much of our distress can come from those changes in identities and that's where therapy can really help. I love to help clients uncover and examine their true identities. Whether you are a new mom grappling with the absolute rocking of your world as you knew it, a teenager trying to create and figure out who you truly are, or any other human striving to live as your authentic self - I am here for you. I look forward to the privilege of being able to walk beside you and guide you along your journey.

By focusing on the positives, my clients can start to see the progress they are making.

Sometimes life’s inevitable challenges cause added stress, sadness, worry, feelings of being “stuck” or not feeling like yourself. I understand that calling to schedule your first therapy appointment might feel daunting. Perhaps you keep putting it off, wondering if therapy is necessary or even right for you. I believe that every person is deserving of support when life feels difficult.

When you come to therapy, you get to be vulnerable and explore the most important piece of life -- you! My therapeutic process is tailored because I recognize that clients have different experiences and personalities. I utilize a non-judgemental and empathic approach that is friendly and kind, and sometimes challenging (if you need it!). You'll receive a customized plan that will help you recreate healthy perceptions of yourself and help you grow.
