LGBT therapists in Henderson, NV

I specialize in mental health care, supporting individuals with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and mood disorders. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and understood. My approach combines medication management with personalized, holistic care. I work collaboratively with each patient to create a plan that fits their needs. My goal is to help you feel balanced and in control of your mental health.

I was born and raised in Montana and have a genuine passion for nature and the outdoors. I received my Bachelors in Psychology at Montana State University in 2001. I then pursued my Masters of Social Work degree and graduated in 2008 from the University of Montana. This graduate program had a focus on providing a social justice and integrated practitioner perspective. I have an eclectic style that can be tailored to each unique individual. My primary therapeutic methods include Mindfulness Based, Holistic, Exposure, Narrative, Cognitive and Behavioral, Strengths Based & Solution Focused Therapies. I provide a non-judgmental and compassionate environment that often helps people feel comfortable. A true passion of mine is structuring therapeutic activities for clients to express, process, increase self-awareness, and de-stress from life’s challenging and developmental experiences.

As a Nevada-based LCSW providing Telehealth services, I aim to make therapy feel approachable, collaborative, and grounded in real life.

I especially enjoy working with teens and young adults who may feel misunderstood or unsure where to start, as well as adults who are carrying a lot while trying to keep everything together. Together, we’ll focus on helping you better understand yourself, strengthen coping skills, and create a life that feels more aligned and manageable.

I have over 25 years of experience in the mental health field. Originally from Brazil, I worked as a social worker for 15 years before relocating to the United States to pursue my master’s degree.

For the past five years, I have worked in school settings supporting children and adolescents as a school-based mental health professional. During this time, I have completed extensive training in areas including family systems, trauma, autism, ADHD, grief, learning disabilities, and behavioral crisis interventions.

I am a passionate advocate for the well-being and safety of children and families, and I am committed to providing compassionate, culturally responsive support.

Life can feel incredibly heavy when the past refuses to stay in the past. If you’re tired of "just getting by," feeling constantly on edge, or noticing that old history is intruding on your present, I want you to know something important: healing does not have to be a retraumatizing experience.

I specialize in helping adults navigate unresolved trauma through a lens of total safety, pacing, and respect. You deserve a space where you can finally let your guard down, drop the heavy armor, and reclaim your story. Whenever you’re ready to transition from surviving to truly living, I am here to walk that path with you.
