If You're Coming in as an Individual

Anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, identity questions, or a transition you didn't see coming. You want a space that's actually about you, not a script applied to whoever walks in.

My training in Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy includes focused work on trauma and on moving through grief, because those experiences deserve care built for them specifically. I'm also a Certified ADHD Clinical Service Provider and a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach, so if ADHD, burnout, or the daily work of building a more sustainable life is part of what you're carrying, there's room for that here too.

If You're Coming in as a Couple

Maybe you're preparing for marriage. Maybe you're rebuilding after something broke your trust. Maybe you're simply trying to understand what's happened between you. A common worry is that a therapist will take sides, or that naming the hard thing out loud will make everything worse.

My training centers on Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, including work specific to couples navigating cultural and racial difference, and to couples supporting a partner's recovery from addiction. I offer pre-engagement counseling, premarital counseling, couples therapy, and discernment counseling, because "couples therapy" isn't one conversation. It's several different ones, depending on where you are. My role isn't to decide who's right. It's to help you both understand the cycle you're caught in, so you can find your way to something steadier, together.

If You're Coming in as a Family

Every family member wants to feel heard, and often, painfully, no one quite does. You may be looking for a therapist who can genuinely hold space for more than one person at a time, without every session turning into another version of the same argument.

My training includes Emotionally Focused Family Therapy, including work with adult children and families whose relationships have shifted over the years. Because I'm licensed in both Nevada and California, I can often meet with family members who are physically in different states during the same session, which matters more than it might sound when your family isn't all in one place anymore.

If You or Someone You Love Has Served

Military life asks a lot, of the service member and of everyone who loves them. Maybe you're active duty trying to hold a relationship together around training and deployment. Maybe you're a veteran adjusting to a life that looks different now. Maybe you're a spouse, partner, or family member carrying weight of your own while supporting someone who served. Whatever your seat in this, you deserve a therapist who doesn't need the basics explained first.

I bring training in EFT approaches for military and veteran couples and families, along with trauma-informed care for service-related experiences. I'm also a military spouse myself, and that combination of clinical training and lived experience shapes how I understand this world, alongside close friendships with those who've served. I have a particular focus on Reno, Sparks, Carson City, Fallon, Fernley, and Northern Nevada, and I welcome active duty service members, veterans, military spouses, civilian employees, and families connected with Naval Air Station Fallon.

If You're a Working Professional Woman

You've built something real. A career, a reputation, a way of holding things together. And now something isn't holding the way it used to, whether that's your energy, a relationship, or the quiet question of whether ambition and well-being have to come at each other's expense.

Before I became a therapist, I spent time in investigative and compliance work, including as a federal investigator with the IRS Criminal Investigation Division. I mention it only because it shapes how I understand carrying real responsibility, and how easy it is to leave no room for the parts of yourself that don't fit into a performance review. Coming here isn't a sign that you're failing to manage. It's a way of tending to what a demanding life doesn't always leave space for.
