Whatever the reason you are here...know that I am here to help you through it. I use a supportive, direct, empathetic and nonjudgmental approach in therapy.

Trauma leaves us feeling broken, unhappy, and disconnected from our true selves. You may be fed up with feeling anxious and overwhelmed in your relationships, feeling hopeless or not good enough. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to rediscover yourself and find out who you are. You’re ready to have freedom from your past trauma. Most of all, you’re ready to experience fulfilling and healthy relationships!
My ideal client is someone who is ready to make a change even if they aren’t sure how. I work with many clients who struggle with all types of trauma, mood disorders, neurodivergence and often a combination of these traits. I often work with my clients to help them set attainable goals and break down complex situations piece by piece. I also strive to make a safe space for LGBTQ+ and encourage expressions of all gender identities and sexualities. Vulnerability is key to healing and I welcome anyone who is ready to begin and honest conversation about their goals.
I am a licensed psychotherapist with more than 12 years of experience in private practice and currently see clients in Arizona and Nevada. While I work with a wide range of issues and populations, much of my recent work has focused on adults ages 20 to 35, particularly around relationships and personal growth.
I specialize in helping individuals navigate relationship challenges, relationship addiction, finding their voice within relationships, healing after breakups, and becoming the healthiest, most authentic version of themselves while in partnership with others.
Another area of passion for me is working with older adults who are facing major life transitions or serving as caregivers for an ill spouse or aging parent. I also specialize in trauma and PTSD treatment, helping clients heal from some of life's most painful experiences.
When I am not in the therapy office, I enjoy teaching psychology courses at the local college, combining my love of education with my commitment to supporting growth and resilience across all stages of life!

I believe healing begins in a space where you feel safe and understood. My approach is compassionate and grounded in strong clinical experience, guided by genuine care and respect for each person’s story. I bring a calm, steady presence to every session and see therapy as a collaborative process, one that helps you build awareness, strength, and lasting change.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Carson City, NV
Searching for therapists in Carson City starts with knowing what kind of support you want. You may be looking for care related to anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, or a major life transition. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match your needs. A therapist’s bio can also show their approach to care, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for couples and families.
In a smaller city like Carson City, the number of nearby therapists may be more limited than in larger Nevada markets. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still keeping you connected with a therapist licensed in Nevada. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how each therapist describes their style, session structure, and experience with concerns similar to yours.
Therapy in Carson City can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, shows estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and lets you choose between virtual and in-person options when available. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
