About Me
I have lived in Reno since 1997, drawn to its rich cultural community and opportunities to raise my two children. In 1995, my son experienced a traumatic brain injury, which became a turning point in my life. Navigating his educational and support needs inspired my passion for advocacy and working with individuals with disabilities.
Through this journey, I served on the Washoe County Mental Health Consortium, the Governor’s boards for juvenile justice funding, the System of Care writing committee, the Children in Transition board, and the Mental Health Planning Advisory Board—all while maintaining full-time employment. These experiences deepened my commitment to supporting individuals and families facing mental health challenges.
I hold a Bachelor’s in Human Services Management and a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling. For the past 4.5 years, I have worked with both adults and children, helping clients recognize their strengths and navigate life’s challenges. As a CPC-I clinician with Life Quest Behavioral Health Care, I am excited to continue serving individuals with disabilities who are ready to begin their journey toward self-discovery and fulfillment.
My therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Reality Therapy to promote stability, growth, and goal achievement. I look forward to empowering each client to live life to the fullest.
