Hey there,
I BECAME A THERAPIST BECAUSE I BELIEVE MENTAL HEALTH IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS PHYSICAL HEALTH.
Mental health services can help people with various concerns as they transition through normative life challenges and the unpredictable. Too often, stigma and not feeling heard deter people from seeking the help they need. I believe in creating a safe environment where people feel heard and respected throughout their mental health and relationship journies. I believe in a strengths-based approach that capitalizes on the best aspects of what people already possess.
I work primarily with young adults and adults struggling with stress, anxiety, developmental transitions, identity development, coping skills, self-esteem, relationships, and religious trauma. I am LGBTQIA+ allied and affirming. I have experience and training in TRAILS Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). I am currently working to receive a certification in treating religious trauma. While I believe that people can draw many beautiful strengths from religion and spirituality, this is not always the case.
Outside of Rooted Counseling, I enjoy cooking, hiking, running, snowshoeing, reading, and traveling in my free time.
Education: I received my master's in counseling with an emphasis in marriage and family therapy from the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR). I also received a bachelor's degree in psychology with a research specialization and a bachelor's in anthropology from UNR.
