In Person Therapists in South Reno, Reno, NV
Life, despite its beautiful moments, can be pretty challenging. The clients I help often experience feelings of being “not good enough,” feeling like a failure, feeling trapped, and not knowing how to handle everything life throws at them. The individuals I support face difficulties at their jobs, in school, within their relationships, or are grappling with pain from the trauma they experienced. I provide a space where clients can look into their thoughts, reflect, and develop practical skills to cope with sadness, anxiety, panic, pressure, or difficult experiences.

I am a big believer in peace and happiness, so I strive to assist my clients in incorporating these things into their own lives. I am a Licensed Social Worker – Therapist and graduated with my Masters of Social Work from the University of Nevada, Reno in 2020. After graduating with my bachelor’s degree in 2015, I, by chance, obtained a job in the mental health field as a Psychosocial Rehabilitative Specialist and almost immediately knew this was the field for me. I have a passion for working with people, all types of people and enjoy watching them reach their highest potential.

A significant pattern that I notice in the people that I work with is often the feeling that their direction in life has gotten out of control, whether they see it in their relationships with others or themselves, or in the unexpected changes in life that throws their carefully detailed plans in for a whirlwind. It is with the simple step back, deep breath, and space to process these thoughts and feelings that allow for people to make sense of the overwhelm they have experienced for that moment. People have a primal need to feel safe in their environment to be able to express themselves without judgment or harm.

As someone who coached volleyball around the country for years, I have coached and interacted with a variety of children, adolescents, adults, and families from diverse backgrounds. Through coaching volleyball, I learned that my passion for helping others and coaching could eventually bring about a bigger purpose for me. Helping others to cope with a variety of life’s challenges while also decreasing negative self talk and increasing self love are some of the aspects I enjoy focusing on in session.

I come with a lot of compassion over the difficult process of attending therapy. Life is a wild ride with so many different variables. Most of us need an external person outside of our system to help us along the way and for different transitions in life. If you find yourself overwhelmed by life, a situation, marital conflict/separation, a person, a job, or maybe anxiety/depression then therapy might be a great option for you.

You realize you need help, but you’re not sure you or your kid is the sit-on-a-couch-and-talk-about-it type? Are you looking for results, change, and relief? Something different? Something worthwhile? If you’re struggling with explosive behaviors, arguments, aggression, extreme fears, attachment challenges, birth or medical trauma, nightmares, or flashbacks, I can help. The pain of depression, anxiety, loss, trauma, or social and academic pressure can be unbearable. If you have no idea how you found yourself here or know exactly what this is the result of, I'm confident that we can uncover strengths and come out the other side.

My ideal client is motivated for change, open to new challenges, and is willing to consider new ideas. Sometimes this is the individual who presents for services, other times this is a concerned parent or caregiver who is seeking out help for a child or teen and who is looking for professional guidance.
