I have the best job.

There is nothing more meaningful to me than witnessing someone say what once felt unspeakable, do what once felt impossible, and move through emotions they feared would overwhelm them. My own experiences allow me to sit with you not only as a clinician, but as a fellow human who understands how vulnerable growth can be.

Here's my honest take: most therapy plays it too safe, and I don't think that's actually helpful. Real change usually means getting uncomfortable on purpose…saying the thing out loud, taking the step you've been avoiding, asking for help… All of that takes courage because the fear of something — rejection, failure, humiliation, etc. — is usually what’s been holding us back.

My approach is experiential and active. That means we don’t analyze information from the sidelines; we get in it, using methods like EMDR, parts work (IFS), psychodrama, body-based (somatic) awareness, and expressive arts to access what talk alone can't always reach. I’m not the “sit back and nod while you narrate your life” sort of therapist. I'll be in the trench with you — curious, direct, and genuinely invested in what happens.

My ideal clients are high-functioning adults navigating trauma, addiction and recovery, anxiety, shame, and the kind of stuck that comes from trying it all and not knowing what else to do. If you're tired of the same fight with yourself — tired of understanding your problems without moving through them — you might be exactly who I work best with.

I offer in-person therapy in Reno, Nevada, plus in-person sessions in Nashville, Tennessee (during periodic visits), with virtual sessions available in between. If something here resonates, I'd love to hear from you.
