Marriage and Family Therapist
AAMFT Approved Supervisor
Welcome to Courage to Blossom Counseling
I’m glad you’re here.
If you’ve found your way here, chances are something in your life, relationship, or professional journey feels difficult, uncertain, painful, or in need of change. Reaching out for support can feel vulnerable — but it can also be the beginning of something deeply meaningful.
At Courage to Blossom Counseling, I offer a space where honesty, insight, growth, and healing can happen in real time, in real ways.
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, AAMFT Approved Supervisor, and former Total Wellness Consultant for the National Football League (NFL), where I provided consultation and training to clinical staff across the United States in my specialty areas of infidelity, relationship repair, and nontraditional relationships.
Today, I provide:
- Therapy for individuals seeking healing, growth, and emotional support
- Relationship counseling for relationships in distress, transition, or repair
- Clinical supervision for developing therapists in Nevada and Virginia
- Professional consultation and training in specialized areas of practice
I am a graduate of Dartmouth College and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where I earned degrees in Sociology and Marriage/Couple and Family Therapy.
I was also honored to be selected by the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy as a recipient of one of only 48 national fellowships in my cohort, recognizing clinical excellence in serving underserved and marginalized communities.
In addition to my work as a therapist, I worked as a Nevada State Advocate with the Gender Justice Queer Anti-Violence Project, helping support survivors of violence through a 24-hour crisis hotline. My training included specialized work with LGBTQIA+ individuals and historically marginalized communities, including people in BDSM, kink, polyamory, consensual non-monogamy, and sex work communities.
Therapy with me tends to be a good fit for people who may be wondering:
- Why do I keep finding myself in the same painful patterns, even when I truly want something different?
- Why do I seem to be holding it all together on the outside, but feel anxious, exhausted, disconnected, or overwhelmed on the inside?
- Why does life feel harder than it looks for everyone else?
- Can my relationship survive this?
- How do we rebuild trust after betrayal?
- Why does love feel so hard right now?
- How do I heal from things I thought I had already moved past?
- How do I reconnect with myself, my partner, or a sense of meaning in my life?
- Why do I feel like I’m carrying so much and still struggling to feel settled, peaceful, or enough?
- Why does being high-achieving, gifted, or neurodiverse sometimes feel harder than it looks?
My clinical specialties include:
- Relationship conflict and communication struggles
- Infidelity and trust repair
- Nontraditional relationships
- Trauma recovery and early childhood wounds
- Sexual assault recovery
- Anxiety, burnout, and life transitions
Supervision with me tends to be a good fit for therapists who are asking:
- How do I become a stronger, more confident clinician?
- How do I build my clinical judgment?
- How do I develop and refine my lifelong clinical skills?
- How do I navigate difficult clinical decisions ethically?
- How do I develop my own voice as a therapist?
- How do I manage burnout, self-doubt, or imposter syndrome while growing professionally?
My supervision work focuses on:
- Clinical thinking and case conceptualization
- Ethical decision-making
- Therapist identity development
- Self of the therapist work
- Deliberately Developmental Model: Skill building and intervention practice
- Direct feedback, accountability, and professional growth
Supervision with me may be especially supportive for therapists who:
- Have felt shut down, discouraged, or harmed in traditional supervision or graduate training spaces
- Carry anxiety, self-doubt, or performance fears related to clinical work and desire structured training to build lifelong clinical skill and confidence
- Consider themselves unconventional, nontraditional, or outside of the “expected” mold
- Are navigating identity, belonging, or visibility in professional spaces
- Identify as BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, or hold identities or experiences that have not always felt understood in traditional clinical environments
- Are high achieving, gifted, nuerodiverse or wired in ways that do not always fit traditional systems or learning environments
My goal is not to create a space where everyone thinks the same — it is to create a space where therapists can grow with honesty, challenge, reflection, and support while developing into ethical, confident clinicians with their own authentic voice.
My style is not passive.
Clients and supervisees who work well with me often appreciate:
- Honest feedback
- Warmth and humor
- Thoughtful challenge
- Practical tools and real conversations
- Space to reflect without judgment
- A therapist or supervisor who will help them see patterns clearly and move toward meaningful change
Our work together is not about perfection. It is about awareness, courage, accountability, connection, and learning how to live and practice more fully.
Outside of my work, I’m location-independent and deeply value creating a life that feels vibrant and connected. I enjoy Mahjong, pole dance, travel, and spending meaningful time with friends and family. These parts of my life remind me that healing is not just about surviving hard things — it is also about building a life you genuinely want to live.
Whether you are seeking therapy, relationship support, or clinical supervision, thank you for taking the time to learn more about my work. It would be an honor to support you.
