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.

I offer a warm and empathetic environment where we will focus on your goals and needs. As we build rapport and establish your counseling goals, I will gently challenge you to get where you want to go. Sessions are goal oriented and directive.

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.

Therapy is about you! It is only natural for humans to want to understand why they feel the way they do; desiring to connect with their experiences. Therapy is the personal process of helping us grow in understanding ourselves, our relationships, and our history. Everyone has their own story to tell. With therapy we can begin that journey of discovery, helping to uncover parts of our personal stories that may have felt very disconnected for a long time.

Waitlist for new clients
Life can be stressful and unpredictable. I seek to provide counseling to individuals, couples, and families who are looking for support in their times of need. We each have stories that our minds create in order to make sense of things. These stories speak to our identities, abilities, competencies, actions, relationships, achievements, fears and failures. I wish to hear the life narratives that my clients are struggling with and assist them in constructing new positive stories about themselves and the struggles they are facing.

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.

I am a Nevada licensed clinical social worker as well as a Nevada licensed clinical drug and alcohol counselor with 30 years of experience. Therapy can involve harm reduction or strictly abstinent-based approaches. Clinical interventions are offered in individual sessions. Emphasis for all treatment interventions is on the importance of creating a plan of care, based on close collaboration with the client. 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.

Life stressors and changes can create uncertainty that can be terrifying to face on your own. There is something so beautiful about bringing a vulnerability into a therapy room and admitting that there is room for change and growth. This growth can happen on an individual level and at a systemic level and can positively affect many aspects of your life. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, self-worth, or issues with your relationships, my goal is to help you find the tools you already obtain to make the changes you need for a happier and healthier life.
