WE ALL NEED BACKUP SOMETIMES

Is the stress starting to pile up?

You got into this work to help people. You’ve seen things, heard things, been a witness to suffering and devastation.

Is that work starting to take a toll? If exhaustion and burnout are creeping in to darken the job that you used to love, you aren’t alone. This is hard work. Too many guardians are struggling in silence, and it’s time to do something about it.

COUNSELING & COACHING

If you are doing guardian work, you are exposed to suffering and trauma. Keeping it locked inside may seem like the safest option, but eventually it takes a toll. Whether you are feeling the impact individually or within your relationship, I can help.

Don’t wait until you hit the crisis point to bring in some support. I can provide resilience coaching services anywhere and therapeutic services to anyone in Nevada.

If you aren’t sure what you need, schedule a consultation and we can figure it out together. The consultation is a free, 15-minute way to ask any questions and discuss what you might need. If you aren’t sure where to start, this is an easy, no obligation way to take action.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • My fee is $155/session and I do not accept insurance at this time. If the cost is prohibitive, give me a call and we can work out a sliding-scale fee. Please don’t let cost stand in the way of taking care of your mental wellness.

  • Yes. I come from a first responder family and understand the mindset and stressors. I know that you are used to being the one who helps, and asking for help is one of the most uncomfortable things you might do. I won’t be shocked by your dark jokes and won’t cry when you describe a hard scene. And (perhaps most importantly) I know the difference between an engine and a truck.

  • Well, first there is a lot of hugging and crying. That part is mandatory.

    Just kidding. The experience will depend on what you need, but overall I follow a pattern of assessing and adjusting. We work together to determine your goals, find patterns, and seek solutions. Think of it this way - if you are a professional football player, it would be logical to work with a physical therapist. And that therapist would address areas of your body that are injured and assign exercises to keep them strong. Likewise, if you are a guardian, you are experiencing things that are mentally and emotionally challenging. We will work together to figure out how the work is impacting you, then make adjustments to keep you strong. Straightforward, practical, no hugging.

  • Because of my training and experience, they are very similar. Both have a heavy focus on identifying patterns and methods of change.

    If you are in crisis or want to do extensive trauma work (such as EMDR), a therapeutic relationship is needed and therefore available only in Nevada. The easiest way to know if I can help is to set a call and we can discuss your needs.

  • No problem, sometimes it is hard to get started. Which is why we built our on-demand trainings to help. For a lot of folks, the information will be what you need to take control of your mental health. For others, it works as a great pre-requisite - it can help you know where to start when you start coaching or therapy. Learn more.
