If you're dealing with substance use, addiction, grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, or the kind of family stress that's hard to put into words — this is a good place to start. I work with adults, teens, and seniors across Nevada via virtual sessions, and I specialize in the situations where more than one thing is going on at once: the drinking and the grief underneath it, the family conflict rooted in cultural pressure, the anxiety that's been there so long it feels normal.
I'm a Black and Asian LCSW therapist with a background in crisis intervention and a genuine understanding of what it means to navigate identity, immigration, loss, and belonging. I work particularly well with clients from communities of color, immigrant families, and people who have tried to manage things on their own for too long. I accept Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield Nevada, and Oxford.
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.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's degree in Social Work (MSW). I have worked in the mental health field since 2013, with experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings and with clients from diverse backgrounds and clinical needs.
My areas of focus include trauma, anxiety, and interpersonal concerns. As a bilingual therapist, I also recognize the important role that culture, family, and personal experiences can play in how we understand ourselves and navigate life's challenges.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of clinical and administrative experience, and I provide therapy to clients in South Carolina via telehealth. My background includes more than a decade working within the Veterans Healthcare System, along with experience in private practice, correctional settings, and community-based care. I’ve worked in outpatient addiction recovery, domestic violence and rape crisis centers, and social service agencies, supporting individuals, couples, families, and groups from diverse backgrounds. I bring a compassionate, experienced, and practical approach, grounded in evidence-based therapy.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master's degree in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University and 18 years of experience in behavioral health and addiction services. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals facing substance use challenges, mental health concerns, life transitions, and personal struggles that can leave people feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from who they want to be.
I specialize in working with adults experiencing addiction, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, men's issues, LGBTQ+ concerns, relationship challenges, trauma, and major life transitions. I am passionate about helping clients discover their strengths, develop healthier coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.
I believe that healing happens when people feel accepted, understood, and supported. My goal is to provide a safe, inclusive, and affirming environment where clients can explore their experiences without judgment. No matter how difficult things may feel today, I believe there is hope for growth, healing, and recovery.

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
