Every person experiences seasons of life that can feel overwhelming. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, substance use, grief, or major life transitions, my goal is to provide a safe, collaborative, and evidence-based therapeutic experience where meaningful, lasting change can occur.

For nearly two decades, I have had the privilege of serving individuals, couples, and families throughout Nevada as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. In addition to direct clinical practice, I have served as a Clinical Director, executive leader, clinical supervisor, consultant, educator, and program developer, helping develop innovative behavioral healthcare programs and clinical services across Nevada. These diverse experiences have allowed me to work with individuals from virtually every walk of life while treating a broad range of complex behavioral health concerns.

My approach is individualized, practical, and grounded in research-supported treatment. I integrate evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, trauma-informed care, and person-centered therapy to develop treatment plans tailored to each client's unique strengths, needs, and goals.

I believe people are far more than the challenges that bring them to therapy. My commitment is to provide compassionate, clinically excellent care while helping clients build resilience, strengthen relationships, overcome obstacles, and create healthier, more meaningful lives.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Las Vegas

Finding addiction therapists in Las Vegas starts with understanding the kind of support that fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for substance use, alcohol use, drug use, gambling, compulsive behaviors, relapse prevention, and co-occurring concerns like anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare therapists, look for experience that matches your goals, such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or coordination with medication-assisted care when a prescriber is part of your care team.

Las Vegas has a wide range of mental health therapists, which can make the search feel harder to narrow. Location may matter if you prefer in-person sessions near the Strip, Summerlin, Henderson, or another part of the area, while virtual appointments can make it easier to meet with a therapist who fits your schedule. Recovery can move in more than one direction, so it helps to look for a therapist who describes a clear, respectful approach to substance abuse and counseling. Review bios for experience with addiction treatment therapy, session structure, availability, and whether a free phone consultation is offered before booking.

Therapy in Las Vegas can be expensive without insurance, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you compare addiction therapists who are accepting new patients, take a wide range of insurance plans, and offer upfront cost estimates based on your coverage. You can filter by specialty, appointment type, availability, and approach, then review profiles and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
