For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?

I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced trauma, eating disorders, and anxiety. I am an Associate-level therapist with experience working with clients in recovery from eating disorders and co-occurring mental health disorders in outpatient settings as well as in treatment at higher levels of care. I understand the unique pressures working in the arts and entertainment industry, and offer care to those who struggle to balance external image with internal thoughts. I utilize a non-judgemental, casual, creative style to therapy, informed by various modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Radically-Open Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Polyvagal Therapy. I work collaboratively with clients to determine when finding your narrative can help you identify how you see yourself in your worldview, or when a “bottom up” or skills-based approach may be more supportive. My goal is to empower you with the right tools and information that will help you build skills needed to get the most out of life.  

I’ve been a Professional psychotherapist for 25 years.  I enjoy the journey of therapy with individuals, couples and families.  I see clients from all walks of life and a vast variety of issues.  My best reward is helping my clients reach their desired goals and achieve optimum emotional wellness.  I specialize in trauma related issues, as well as relationship issues.

As an addiction therapist, I am passionate about communicating hope, value, and change to individuals who are suffering. I have worked in the field of addiction treatment and recovery since 2015 in a multitude of settings and with various populations. I have worked with individuals, groups, and families who are affected by the disease of addiction. I value empathy, therapeutic alliance, and motivation seeking as my primary modes of operation when engaging with clients. My education background in Philosophy, a Master’s degree in mental health counseling, as well as unique life experiences, give me an uncommon perspective in treatment theory and practice.

I’m a psychodynamic, body-oriented therapist bringing warmth, humor and a nurturing presence to the therapeutic relationship. I have training in internal family systems and somatic therapy, plus 12 years of previous healing arts experience having helped clients increase awareness of their mind-body connection. My experience, wisdom and training create a solid foundation for you to develop trust and connection with your own inner knowing, allowing you to heal emotional blocks and unhealthy patterns that no longer serve. This creates healthier relationships, greater resiliency, and a deeper sense of purpose and vitality.

Thank-you for considering my services. I have been providing substance use disordered treatment for over twenty years. I have experience in private, nonprofit, and the criminal justice settings. I am a Nevada licensed alcohol and drug counselor.

I’m a licensed therapist that emphasizes self-reflection and personal growth. There is no one-size fits all approach to therapy. Together, we will find what benefits you. I use a psychodynamic approach to look at your past and present and how that may influence how you make decisions, and a relationship-based therapy approach with a strength-based frame to help you develop coping skills and protective factors against stressors and negative relationships. If you are experiencing a situation or circumstance affecting your ability to adjust, or affecting your ability to regain your footing for work/life balance, my practice may help you overcome these obstacles.
