Therapy should be a place where you can talk honestly about the things that are difficult to say out loud without being judged or reduced to a diagnosis—or to the hardest chapter of your life.
I work with adults and couples experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, suicidal thoughts, sexual trauma, intimacy and sexual-health concerns, grief, life transitions, military and veteran concerns, first-responder stress, and relational distress. Relational distress can include communication breakdown, recurring conflict, loss of trust, emotional distance, intimacy concerns, separation or divorce-related stress, changes within a family, parenting-related strain, or simply reaching a point where you are unsure how to move forward.
My role in therapy is to help you understand what is happening, identify what you want to change, strengthen your ability to respond differently, and work toward healthier functioning and relationships. My clinical style is direct, collaborative, trauma-informed, practical, and shame-free.
I am independently licensed for clinical social-work practice in Washington, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and Florida; EMDR-trained; a Certified Psychosexual Assessment Specialist (CPAS); a Board-Certified Forensic Mental Health Evaluator (CFMHE); a Board-Certified Forensic Psychometrist (CFP); and a U.S. Army veteran.
My broader professional practice includes forensic mental-health evaluation and consultation. Those services are separate from psychotherapy. Once I am retained as your treating therapist and a clinical treatment relationship has been established, I cannot also serve as your forensic evaluator, expert witness, or child-custody evaluator in the same matter. Therapy is treatment-focused and is intended to support your clinical needs—not to generate an independent forensic opinion for litigation.

Contact if you want to heal from trauma, improve relationships, and foster emotional resilience. With a warm and collaborative style, she creates a safe space for post-traumatic growth.
You’ve talked about it. You understand it. But you still feel it.
I specialize in individual EMDR therapy for adults whose past continues to affect the present.
You may understand why you react the way you do, yet painful memories, anxiety, grief, abandonment, betrayal, relationship triggers, or body reactions still feel difficult to control.
My practice is intentionally EMDR-focused. We work efficiently to understand your history, identify the memories and current triggers keeping you stuck, prepare you for the EMDR process, and move into reprocessing once you are ready.
The goal is not to erase what happened. It is to help you remember it without continuing to feel as though you are still living inside it.
I currently work with individual clients only and am not accepting couples.
In-person EMDR is available in Las Vegas, with virtual therapy available throughout Nevada.
