Being seen and valued for who we truly are, particularly in a space free of judgment, bias, and pretense, is an incredible feeling. When we feel safe to be ourselves, peace and healing naturally follow. From there, we can blossom, grow, and thrive! It often takes that feeling of safety and security for the truest parts of ourselves to be free to emerge. The essence of therapy lies in the therapeutic relationship and the sense of safety that comes with it. Knowing that you are in a space where your confidence is kept, your story is protected, and your whole person is viewed with loving kindness allows for growth. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the states of Nevada and Wisconsin. My experience over the span of my career has included teaching youth about the dangers of tobacco use, advising undergraduate and graduate students about their academic and professional pursuits, counseling both victims and perpetrators of domestic violence, and now offering psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and families. In this process, you and I work together to navigate the ins and outs of communication, learn to build and rebuild trust, identify tools for managing difficult emotions and thinking patterns, and just figure out who you are. My clients have experienced a wide range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and attention difficulties. I have also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. My counseling style is designed to offer a safe and open space for you to be the most authentic version of yourself. I believe in meeting everyone exactly where they are and holding a nonjudgmental space. My approach includes elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, internal family systems, and mindfulness. Our work together will be tailored to your specific goals, and we will co-create the path we take toward your healing. Reaching out for help is one of the hardest things a person can do. I truly honor the strength and courage you used to take that step, and I look forward to helping you navigate the road toward the best you that you can possibly be! * * * "Good Faith Estimate" Notice You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. • You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services.
