Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Reno, NV

As a board certified psychiatrist and psychotherapist, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I’ve been practicing for 20 years, but in the last decade, have shifted my main focuses to all clients age 12-85 who are struggling with anxiety and depression, psychiatric medicine. ADHD medication maintenance.

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 am a compassionate and dedicated mental health professional with a strong passion for helping individuals navigate emotional challenges, life transitions, and personal growth. I hold a Master’s degree in General Family Therapy and a Master’s degree in Psychology specializing in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). Since 2015, I have worked in the psychology and behavioral health field serving diverse populations across various clinical settings.

Throughout my professional experience, I have supported individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, stress, emotional dysregulation, behavioral challenges, self-esteem difficulties, relationship concerns, grief, and life transitions. I have experience working with adolescents, adults, families, and individuals from diverse cultural and personal backgrounds. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout their healing journey.

I value authenticity, empathy, and meaningful human connection in therapy. I believe healing begins when individuals feel emotionally safe and supported while learning practical tools to improve emotional wellness and daily functioning. Outside of my professional work, I appreciate creativity, mindfulness, personal growth, and the importance of maintaining balance and self-care in everyday life.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who works with adults dealing with real-life mental health—PTSD, bipolar disorder, depression, schizophrenia, and the in-between that doesn’t always fit neatly into a box.

I’ve worked in hospitals, treatment centers, and correctional settings, which means I’ve seen a lot—and I’m not easily surprised. You don’t have to clean your story up for me. You don’t have to have the “right words.” Just show up as you are.

I don’t do the whole “sit down and I’ll tell you what to do” thing. That’s not how this works. I’ll break things down, give you real options, explain what’s actually happening in your brain (without making it feel like a lecture), and then we decide together what makes sense. You’re not losing control here—you’re getting it back.

Some people come in feeling stuck. Some feel all over the place. Some are just tired of not feeling like themselves. Wherever you’re starting from, we’ll figure it out step by step and get you moving in a direction that actually feels better—not just on paper, but in your day-to-day life.

No judgment. No pressure to be perfect. Just real conversations, real strategy, and a plan that fits you.

I hold a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix and bring over 20 years of experience working with both juveniles and adults healing from trauma. My approach is warm, empathetic, and supportive, and I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can work toward meaningful mental health goals. I utilize multiple evidence-based treatment approaches, tailoring care to meet each client’s unique needs and goals.

Do you feel buried under the heavy weight of depression, or find your days derailed by intense mood shifts you can’t seem to control? Living with trauma or bipolar disorder can feel like an exhausting, lonely battle, leaving you feeling disconnected from the people and life you love. You might be constantly managing anxiety, stress, or relationship strain, wondering if you'll ever find solid ground. You do not have to navigate this darkness alone. You deserve a space where your pain is met with deep understanding, and where your story is heard without judgment.
