Pleasure to meet you! As an LCSW and CBT psychotherapist specializing in substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions.

My goal is to help clients create meaningful, lasting change, not just temporary relief.
Therapy with me is about understanding yourself, learning new skills, and building a life that feels worth living.

I believe every client deserves an individualized approach.

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.
