ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Sparks, NV

I often help those working through partner betrayal, relational trauma, or severe mood and anxiety symptoms. Clients benefit from my psychodynamic approach which has been shown to be especially helpful for managing complex trauma and improving negative relationship patterns. I have extensive training diagnosing personality disorders, in addition to helping persons with severe depression, panic attacks, nonsuicidal self-injury, and OCD. Clients tell me they appreciate my calm, regulating presence as well as my nonjudgemental stance.

Reaching out for therapy can feel overwhelming, and I believe finding the right therapist is one of the most important parts of the process. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and accepted without judgment.

I specialize in helping adults navigate trauma, anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, and emotional overwhelm. As an EMDR-trained Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience in crisis stabilization and outpatient therapy, I’ve had the privilege of supporting people through some of the most difficult moments of their lives. My focus is not only on reducing symptoms but also on helping you understand yourself more deeply, build resilience, and create lasting change.

I strive to balance compassion with honesty. Therapy with me is collaborative—we’ll celebrate progress, gently challenge patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and move at a pace that feels right for you. I believe healing isn’t about becoming someone different; it’s about reconnecting with the strengths that have always been within you.

Whether you’re working through past trauma, feeling stuck in anxiety, navigating a major life transition, or simply wanting to better understand yourself, we’ll work together to develop practical tools and meaningful insight so you can move forward with greater confidence and peace..
