Counseling is about creating a supportive and safe environment where you can share openly. My style with Clients is always collaborative, interactive and motivating. I believe people have the best understanding of what works for them. I encourage Clients to be true to themselves while considering experiences, ideas, and beliefs that may be causing unnecessary dysfunction in their daily lives. Together, we can gain perspective in these areas of disruption allowing for positive change. The goal of our work is to not only ease current suffering, but to learn from it in a way that encourages emotional growth.

My therapeutic approach is most often a combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy, and insight-oriented psychotherapy. My areas of specialty include individual therapy, couples/relational therapy, anger management, parenting issues, depression and anxiety, boundaries and mindfulness. I counsel those working in fields that cause vicarious trauma and burnout. I work with business owners to manage their stress and to support them in running businesses reflecting their core values. I am also able to provide counseling services in Spanish.

I am a Nevada native, who hates cold weather but loves the snow. I enjoy spending time with my children, listening to music, playing pool/billiards, and watching comedy.
