New to Grow
I am licensed in Nevada with 15 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with grief and loss, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & bipolar disorder. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
Starting therapy is an important step, and it's natural to have questions about what to expect. Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another. I'll invite you to share what brought you to therapy, what challenges you're experiencing, and what you hope to gain from our work together. You're welcome to share at your own pace—there's no expectation that you have to tell your whole story in one session. I'll also ask questions about your background, relationships, health, and other areas of your life to better understand your experiences and the context in which they occur. This helps me develop a personalized approach to your care. We'll spend time discussing your goals for therapy and begin exploring what may be most helpful moving forward. Together, we'll talk about how I work, answer any questions you have, and discuss what you can expect in future sessions. My goal is to provide a supportive, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. Therapy is a partnership, and we'll work together to create a plan that fits your needs and supports meaningful growth. I look forward to meeting you and beginning this journey together.
I believe that therapy should be collaborative, practical, and tailored to your unique needs. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I work alongside you to better understand your experiences, identify your strengths, and help you create meaningful, lasting change. My work integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). CBT helps us identify patterns of thinking, emotions, and behaviors that may be keeping you stuck, while developing healthier ways of responding to life's challenges. Mindfulness helps build awareness of your thoughts and emotions without judgment, allowing you to respond with greater intention instead of reacting automatically. Solution-Focused Brief Therapy emphasizes your strengths, resilience, and existing resources, helping us focus on what is working and identify realistic, achievable steps toward your goals. What sets my approach apart is my balance of insight and action. I believe understanding yourself is important, but lasting change also comes from learning practical skills you can use in your everyday life. Our sessions are designed to be supportive, engaging, and goal-oriented, giving you space to process difficult experiences while also helping you build confidence, develop effective coping strategies, and make progress between sessions. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. Together, we'll identify your goals, celebrate your strengths, and develop tools that support your well-being long after therapy ends.
I enjoy working with adults who are ready to make meaningful changes in their lives, even if they're not sure where to begin. My clients often feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, life transitions, self-doubt, or patterns that no longer serve them. They may be struggling with work-life balance, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, or feeling stuck despite their best efforts. Many of the people I work with are looking for more than a space to talk—they want practical tools, new perspectives, and strategies they can apply in everyday life. Whether you're navigating a difficult season, seeking personal growth, or working to improve your emotional well-being, we'll work together to identify your strengths, clarify your goals, and create realistic steps toward lasting change. You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Curiosity, openness, and a willingness to engage in the process are all you need. My role is to provide guidance, support, and evidence-based tools in a compassionate, collaborative environment where you can build resilience and move toward the life you want.
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we identify patterns that may be contributing to distress and develop practical strategies to create healthier, more balanced ways of thinking and responding.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness is integrated throughout the therapy process to help clients become more aware of their thoughts and emotions without immediately reacting to them. Rather than trying to eliminate difficult feelings, mindfulness teaches clients to observe their experiences with curiosity and self-compassion. This increased awareness creates space to make intentional choices instead of responding out of habit or emotion.
Multicultural
believe every client brings unique experiences, values, identities, and cultural backgrounds that shape how they understand themselves and the world. My approach is grounded in cultural humility, recognizing that you are the expert on your own lived experience. I strive to create a space where your identity, beliefs, and experiences are respected and explored without judgment. I consider the many factors that influence mental health, including culture, race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion or spirituality, family values, socioeconomic background, and life experiences. Together, we explore how these aspects of your identity may impact your relationships, coping strategies, stressors, and overall well-being. Rather than making assumptions, I approach each client with openness and curiosity, adapting evidence-based interventions to align with your values, strengths, and goals. My goal is to provide therapy that is collaborative, affirming, and responsive to your individual needs.
