Meet Your Therapist:
I was born and raised in Las Vegas and I attended and graduated from Chaparral High school. I have worked in the medical field both for doctors and at local hospitals, in non-profit world, and worked for the school district for a time as a substitute teacher.
Married for over 30 years, I homeschooled two amazing people to adulthood, and supporting the homeschooling community today. I also have two fur babies who sometimes attend sessions with me.
In 2010 I graduated with my Bachelor of Science in Human Service Management. In 2016 I graduated with a Master of Science Degree in Counseling specializing in Marriage, Family, and Child Therapy. I worked as a student intern and licensed intern in both agency and private practice settings. In my final years in college, I created Embrace Counseling, LLC. My mission is helping adult individuals find their courage and strength to heal, grow, learn, and stop unhealthy generational traumas in the process.
Some of my training includes: EMDR, Gottman Couples Therapy, Attachment Theory, Parts and Memory Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, grief and loss training, and somatic therapy for trauma. I continue training to work on learning and being more LGBTQIA supportive and culturally informed. I am also a Board Approved Secondary Supervisor for CPC Interns and MFT Interns in the State of Nevada.
I am licensed to practice Marriage and Family Therapy in both Nevada and Utah.
In my spare time, I journal, do CrossFit in my garage, and enjoy music and photography. I also enjoy travel, off-roading, and opportunities to connect with people in the community through volunteering.
