Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Reno, NV

I have 20 years of experience in mental health nursing and 5 years as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with people from all walks of life, supporting them through challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health concerns.

I’m a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner specializing in autism evaluations (ages 2–24) and ADHD assessment and treatment (ages 4 through adulthood). I provide evidence-based, patient-centered care in a supportive and non-judgmental environment.

I offer comprehensive diagnostic evaluations, medication management when appropriate, and practical strategies to improve focus, behavior, and daily functioning. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and tailored to each individual’s needs.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults with autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and trauma-related concerns. Telehealth appointments are available for convenient, accessible care.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I am dedicated to supporting children, adolescents, couples, and family systems. I serve individuals and families seeking practical tools and compassionate support to navigate mental, emotional, and behavioral health challenges.

"Before I became a therapist, I was a high school English teacher, a

college professor, and a yoga instructor. That path wasn't random

— each role taught me something different about how people

grow, get stuck, and find their way back to themselves. I bring all

of that into my practice now.

I work with adults across Nevada via telehealth who are wrestling

with anxiety, people-pleasing patterns, trauma, and self-worth.

Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside and

exhausted on the inside. They've tried pushing through. They've

read the books. They come to me when they're ready to actually

go somewhere different.

I'm also a Level II Reiki practitioner and E-RYT advanced yoga

teacher — which means I understand that healing isn't just

cognitive. The body is part of this too, and I take that seriously."

I often help those working through partner betrayal, relational trauma, or severe mood and anxiety symptoms. Clients benefit from my psychodynamic approach which has been shown to be especially helpful for managing complex trauma and improving negative relationship patterns. I have extensive training diagnosing personality disorders, in addition to helping persons with severe depression, panic attacks, nonsuicidal self-injury, and OCD. Clients tell me they appreciate my calm, regulating presence as well as my nonjudgemental stance.
