Family therapy and counseling in Carson City, NV

I approach therapy as a collaborator. My method is client-centered and humanistic. I aim to accompany my clients in achieving the goals brought into the therapeutic environment with openness, empathy, and compassion. Creating goals in small steps is vital for progress and change. Identifying insecure attachment and dysfunctional patterns will lead to lasting change. My clients can learn to recognize unhealthy cycles and gain a deeper understanding of their attachment styles.

Currently, I do not provide therapy for couples or minors.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the State of Nevada. I graduated with my Master of Science in Marriage, Family, and Child Counseling in 2009 and hold three degrees in the field of counseling/psychology. I am within several classes of achieving a second Master's degree in the field of substance abuse treatment. I have additional formal and practical training in the areas of trauma informed care, impulse control/anger management, crisis intervention, and cognitive behavioral modification strategies. I have worked with a wide variety of populations including co-occurring disorders (substance and mental health), at risk youth, and various other adult high risk/high need populations in both intensive inpatient and outpatient settings. Throughout my years of experience, I have worked at length with the majority of DSM V diagnosed disorders.

I believe therapy should be a safe, supportive space where you can be yourself without judgment. I take a warm, compassionate, and collaborative approach, meeting you where you are and working together to understand what you’re experiencing and what you want to change. I know that reaching out for therapy can feel difficult, and I want my clients to feel heard, respected, and comfortable being honest. My goal is to help you gain insight, develop practical tools, and feel more confident navigating life and relationships.

People seek therapy because they instinctively know that by reaching out to make a connection, they can get a greater understanding and courage. I would like to assist you in the process of gaining better clarity in your life. Through this connection, we can discover a bridge that leads to your inner power and confidence. Working as a Critical Incident Stress Debriefing Counselor, I use several tools, including Mindfulness Techniques, Solution Focused Therapy, Functional Family Therapy, and practices from my book The "I AM" Solution. I want to empower you to find your potential and transformation. Peace and Blessings.
