My Approach to Helping
Hello. I’ve been a licensed marriage and family therapist for 18 years, and I love helping people !
I’ve practiced in Orlando, Fl, San Diego, CA, and Reno, NV, and I’ve worked in private practice, group homes, with foster children and teens, and at the University of NV in Reno counseling center with college students. Currently, I’m licensed both in California and Nevada, and I’m working at the incredible Sierra Sunrise Wellness Group.
I do both in-person and teletherapy, and I specialize in trauma and PTSD, Asperger’s Syndrome, and ADHD. However, I also really enjoy working with people who have depression, anxiety, stress, self-esteem or relationship issues, and parenting or child behavior issues. I’ve had a great deal of experience, especially working with children, teens, and young adults. However, I enjoy helping people of all ages. I also enjoy helping people who are straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, or non-binary.
The type of therapy I use is tailored to the person I’m working with. I’m trained in EMDR, play therapy, sandtray therapy, Internal Family Systems, and CBT. However, I may use multiple types of therapy with one person, according to what is needed for a certain issue.
I understand what it is to have issues that are hard to resolve on one’s own. I believe that everyone has within them the Innate ability to heal and grow. Congratulations if you are considering getting some help!
