Mindful Mountain Counseling is based in Reno, Nevada, where the Great Basin rises steeply into the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Mindful Mountain provides compassionate, intelligent, and creative counseling to individuals and couples facing challenging life issues. My mission is for every client to move closer to balance, health, and wholeheartedness; and for every couple to rediscover their potential for deeper connection and intimacy.
I keep my counseling practice small and focused in order to provide each of my clients with my full and undivided attention and a customized approach to health and healing. Mindful Mountain provides marriage and couples counseling, as well as mental health counseling for issues such as anxiety, depression, anger, grief and loss.
Whether you are struggling to save a marriage or relationship, facing the loss of a loved one, or trying to overcome anxiety or depression, counseling with an experienced, empathic professional can make a world of difference.Every human being will eventually face adversity in life.

I earned my master's degree in social work (MSW) at the University of Montana, where I focused on end-of-life care, bereavement, anxiety and depression, geriatrics, and existential and mindfulness-based counseling.
Over the years I've counseled a diversity of people with a wide array of life challenges, including relationship problems, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, chronic pain, trauma, and life transitions.
Prior to my work as a clinical social worker, I earned a master's degree in creative writing (MFA) and worked as a writer for many years.

Counseling is essentially a journey toward greater self knowledge, emotional intelligence, and mental health.
The profession has come a long way since the days of "shrinks" hauling people away in straightjackets, and people no longer have to bear the stigma once associated with seeking help for emotional and mental suffering.
In my practice, I view clients as "creative change agents" in the process of navigating challenges throughout the life span.
Clients seek counseling for many reasons, from the loss of a loved one to crippling anxiety.

Mindful Mountain approaches the counseling relationship from a holistic, integrative perspective.
Physical, emotional, and spiritual health all play a role in wellness, and we'll look to see which areas of your life may need attention.
Just as no two people are alike, no two counseling approaches will be the same.
My work integrates attachment, psychodynamic, existential, family systems, and mindfulness-based approaches; and if those are the pillars, then interpersonal neurobiology provides the scientific foundation that underlies why this combination works for positive therapeutic outcome.

At Mindful Mountain, counseling is first and foremost a dynamic and collaborative relationship between therapist and client.
The main purpose is to actively engage in a process of self-discovery and open inquiry into the nature of wholeness.
My foundational belief is that everybody is capable of change.
Neurobiologists can now show us via neuroimaging that not only can each of us change our own neural wiring, but that relationships impact our neurobiology, in both functional and dysfunctional ways.

Being in an intimate relationship is one of the most challenging and rewarding aspects of life.
Most of us take it for granted that all we have to do to succeed at a relationship is to find the right person.
Sure, relationships take work, we say, but when the going gets tough it becomes pretty tempting to question whether we're with the right person at all.
Maybe it was all just a big mistake?
Hold your horses!
Usually it's not that simple.
Finding one's "soul mate" is usually less a matter of fate and more a process of individual and mutual exploration that leads to greater self awareness and emotional intelligence.
