Marriage & Family Therapist based out of Reno, Nevada.

My Approach

I believe that health and well-being are rooted in our connectedness - to others, to ourselves, and to a sense of meaning in life. When these connections are strong, we feel alive, grounded, and capable of navigating life's challenges.

However, we often experience interpersonal wounds throughout life that disrupt our ability to engage with the world and those around us. These experiences burden us, leaving us feeling isolated, disconnected from our true selves, or stuck in repeating patterns that no longer serve us. Whether you are looking to improve your relationships, reconnect with your inner self, or discover newfound meaning and purpose, you do not have to walk this path alone.

What Brings People Here

What Therapy Looks Like

When you begin therapy with me, I will always start with a thorough interview that helps me understand you - your history, family and friends, work, concerns, etc.

From there we will develop goals for treatment that will act as our compass in navigating the work. Sessions will be focused more on your personal, internal process of how you make meaning of your experiences and where those perceptions come from. My goal is to help you develop awareness of yourself that allows you to change patterns in your life that no longer serve you. I approach therapy not as an expert, but as another human who is interested in you - your aspirations, your story, your pain, and your truth.

Where We'll Meet

I aim to provide a warm, non-judgemental, and collaborative space to facilitate the therapy process.

Whether through individual, couples, or family therapy, we will work together to safely unpack the past, understand your patterns, and cultivate insight, awareness, and self-compassion needed to rebuild meaningful connections.

My office is based in Midtown/Southwest Reno.

At this time I do not provide telehealth.

My Background

For the past year I have been working in private practice primarily with young adults and couples.

Prior to that I spent five years at Northern Nevada Child and Adolescent Services where I worked primarily with families with children ages six and under. It was through this work that I came to appreciate the critical role that secure relationships play in our lives at all ages as well as the long-term impact that adverse experiences can have on our lifelong development when left unaddressed.
