About Me
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapy Intern in the state of Nevada and California. My work is to the point and focused on the issues that cause my clients the most distress. I work with kids, teens, and adults using evidence-based theoretical models that are backed by research and my years of experience, such as CBT and DBT. My friends, family, and work colleagues describe me as easy to get along with and dedicated. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which are proven methods to help my clients understand why they think and react the way they do. Then I help them to adjust the unhelpful thoughts to achieve more effective thoughts, emotions and behaviors.
I have been working in mental health in California and Nevada for twenty years. Primarily with teens and their families that are struggling with life's difficulties. Since the pandemic and rise of social media the incidence of depression and anxiety in teens has risen over 4000%. No wonder parents and families need some help these days!
