Trent is deeply committed to helping all clients that walk through his door. His approach focuses on combining validation, balance, encouragement, compassion and acceptance to create an environment primed for healing. His therapeutic approach utilizes techniques from various modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness to help clients reach the goals they have set for themselves. 
 

Trent enjoys living in Reno as the city is not too big nor too small with beautiful Lake Tahoe a short drive away. He also enjoys the outdoors in various ways and the regular sunny days of Reno makes it easy to get out and adventure.
