In Reno, life can look good from the outside—mountain views, career success, busy routines—but inside, many people feel quietly overwhelmed.
You hold everything together, yet a part of you wonders: Why do I still feel this way?
If you’ve already tried quick tips, YouTube mindfulness videos, or short-term CBT and still feel unseen, you’re not alone.
Some minds need a deeper map.
The Hidden Depths of Anxiety and Depression
Anxiety and depression often appear like opposites—one buzzing, one numbing—but they share the same root: an emotional system working overtime to protect you.
You may look “high-functioning” while feeling disconnected inside.
A recent client (shared with permission) once said:
“I’ve spent years describing my feelings in therapy, but nothing changed or shifted.“
True healing begins not with explanation, but with being deeply understood — in a way that changes how you experience yourself.
Because therapy isn’t just about coping—it’s about understanding your emotional language so your body can finally exhale.

The Science of Insight and the Art of Healing
My work at Reno Psychotherapy combines 15 years of psychodynamic and psychoanalytic psychotherapy training with modern neuroscience and trauma research.
We explore how your brain and emotions learned to survive—and how they can learn to thrive again.
This deeper approach is especially helpful for:
- Empaths, deep thinkers, and professionals who “know too much but still feel stuck.”
- People who crave meaning, not mantras.
- Those who sense their anxiety or depression holds a message waiting to be understood.
You don’t need to “think less.” You need space where your insight becomes part of your healing.
Why Deeper Therapy Works
When you uncover the why, the how starts to change automatically.
Psychodynamic therapy helps the emotional brain integrate what it once avoided.
This rewiring creates lasting calm—not just the temporary kind from a checklist.
And yes, we’ll talk about skills, boundaries, and mindfulness—but always in the context of your story, your wiring, and your truth.
You Deserve More Than Tips and Tricks
If you’ve ever felt that therapy skimmed over your complexity, it’s not because you’re “too much.”
It’s because your mind speaks a language that requires listening beneath the surface.
That’s the space I hold.
