I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Temple University and my Master of Social Work from Indiana University. With over 10 years of experience, I support individuals in managing anxiety, navigating depression, and healing from past trauma.
My approach blends evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness with a spiritually grounded perspective. While therapy is rooted in clinical skill, I also create space for deeper connection—often integrating spiritual awareness into the work for those who are open to it. I believe healing is not just mental, but also deeply internal and, at times, spiritual.
I bring 20 years of experience as a social worker across a range of mental health settings, but individual therapy is where I feel most at home. I often work with people navigating life transitions, stress, relationship challenges, and that “stuck” feeling. I also use DBT-informed approaches to help build coping skills and emotional balance.
The degrees I have acquired are a BS and MS in Education k-12 and Counseling Education. Also a MA and Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology. I have applied these degrees over the past 35 years in Universities as a psychologist, program director and faculty. Also as a psychologist in Correctional Institutions and the Veteran Administration. The later work years has been as a recovery coordinator for "those who are seeking house" and a Community Mental Health therapist. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor across 3 states. Currently my focus in therapy is to assist adults 18- 90+ and couples in reestablishing life back toward the center of their fullest potential. I do not do family therapy.

I am an Approved Clinical Supervisor in UT & Marriage and Family licensed therapist. I work with individuals, couples & families. I have experience in working with neuro-divergency, trauma, adoption & foster care, senior life transitions, cognitive challenges, incarceration, domestic violence (perpetrators and victims), addiction, grief, & more.
Pleasure to meet you! As an LCSW and CBT psychotherapist specializing in substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions. My clinical training at Simmons University emphasized psychology-focused clinical social work with additional focus in addiction treatment. I work with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, and unhealthy patterns that can leave people feeling stuck or disconnected from the life they want to build. My goal is to help clients create meaningful, lasting change, not just temporary relief.
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. I have 16 years experience and primarily use CBT and EMDR approaches. I work hard to ensure you feel comfortable and safe and will help you meet your goals. Looking forward to meeting you!

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Carson City
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.
