I obtained my undergraduate degree from the University of Nevada, Reno in human development and family studies. I went on to get my masters in counseling and educational psychology with an emphasis in marriage and family therapy from UNR as well.
I started my career providing therapy to children and adolescents with acute mental health challenges, but have really found my passion in perinatal mental health and overall wellbeing for women.
Over the past ten years of my career as a therapist, I have also developed a passion for working with trauma and attachment and how those aspects impact all areas of living. I hope to work alongside my clients in finding their sense of empowerment, their voice, and fulfillment. I am a firm believer in being an advocate for my clients to support navigating systems that don’t always take the time to hear concerns and challenges.
In addition to perinatal mental health, trauma, and attachment, I have experience in working with OCD and providing exposure and response prevention therapy, working with foster and adoptive parents, and child development.
I live with my husband and two kids and have been in Nevada since I was a young child. We enjoy going to Disneyland or anywhere with a beach to enjoy the water and sunshine!
