As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist  in Reno, I work with men, women, teens, young adults, couples, and families who are seeking to improve the quality of their relationships and their lives. Whether you are working to ease the symptoms  of depression or anxiety, healing from grief  and loss, resolving trauma, or seeking to deepen  a relationship with yourself and others,  I can help you move forward in an accepting  and engaging environment.

The therapeutic approach focuses on your strengths, goals, and current concerns. We utilize an empowerment and strength-based approach to help you access  your best inner self, through:  identifying and accomplishing your life goals; achieving a calmer state of mind; improving problem-solving and reaching your creative potential.  I  have training in multiple therapeutic methods, including  cognitive-behavioral, health realization, psychodynamic, and family  system.  My theoretical orientation includes Internal Family Systems,  object relations, self psychology, existential, humanistic, and solution  focused approaches.  In  the context of your cultural, family and mental health history, we will  strengthen self-esteem, self-discovery, assertiveness, authenticity.
