From Tech to Therapist: A Journey of Growth
My path to becoming a therapist has been as dynamic as the Vegas Strip. Starting as a behavioral health technician in substance abuse rehab, I climbed the ladder to case manager, then lead case manager, and now I'm here as your therapist. Next stop? LCSW in November 2024 – wish me luck!
My Therapy Toolbox: Stories and Motivation
Armed with a Master's in Social Work and a hefty dose of real-world experience, I specialize in narrative therapy and motivational interviewing. What does that mean for you? We'll rewrite your story together, and I'll be your personal cheerleader, pushing you towards your goals with a blend of empathy and honesty.
Tough Love with a Side of Empathy
In my therapy room, expect a 'tough love' approach. I'm not here to sugarcoat things, but I promise to serve up the truth with a healthy side of validation and understanding. After all, as my mentor Christina taught me, therapy isn't just about textbooks – it's about being human.
Beyond the Therapy Room
When I'm not helping clients navigate their mental health journeys, you'll find me exploring Las Vegas with my two young kids. We're always on the lookout for new adventures – maybe we'll bump into each other at the next family-friendly hotspot!
A Message from Me to You
Here's the deal: mental health is just as crucial as physical health. You wouldn't think twice about seeing a doctor for a broken arm, right? So why hesitate to care for your mind? Therapy doesn't have to be scary. In fact, I practice what I preach and go to therapy myself. It's all part of staying mentally fit!
Ready to start your mental wellness journey with a therapist who keeps it real? Let's team up and tackle your challenges head-on. Remember, in Vegas, we don't just gamble – we take calculated risks for a better future. Your mental health is a bet worth making!
