About Me
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC), and Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher based in Carson City, Nevada. I run The Mindful Goldfish®, offering individual therapy and trauma-informed yoga in person and via telehealth across Nevada. I work with adults navigating overwhelming stress, addictive patterns, emotional swings, grief and loss, life transitions, and perfectionism, using EMDR (a therapy that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories) and IFS (Internal Family Systems is a framework for understanding the different parts of yourself that show up under stress), alongside body-aware, somatic approaches.
Education & Experience
I have training in EMDR through EMDRIA and Internal Family Systems through the IFS Institute. I'm a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200) with a focus on trauma-informed practice. My clinical background includes work with overwhelming stress, addictive patterns, emotional swings, grief and loss, life transitions, and perfectionism.
