I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who supports individuals and families navigating stress, emotional regulation, and life transitions. I provide a warm, supportive space while helping clients build practical tools to feel more confident and in control of their lives. My goal is to help clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to create meaningful change.

I'm Russ! As your therapist, it is my goal to see you become a better version of yourself. Asking for help is not easy for many, and you're to be commended for taking that first step. Life's challenges can be difficult to navigate, and everyone needs some help from time to time. I have seen a multitude of clients of all ages with diverse backgrounds. Being a good listener and having a non-judgmental approach are two of the things people ask for most in a therapist. With me, you will get both of those things! I am always present when my clients are experiencing stressful life challenges. My areas of expertise include Depression, Anxiety, Men's Health, Trauma, PTSD, Grief Issues, and Couples Therapy, I am specifically very experienced and specialized with Anxiety Disorders. I use a Cognitive Behavioral and Humanistic approach to help my clients bring out the best in themselves, but am also able to help those who may need to be in therapy more short-term with Solution-Focused therapeutic approaches. I like to use humor, challenging questions, and a direct approach. I think that growth and progress come from addressing the difficult issues head-on, but we can also make therapy a little more fun along the way.

I believe healing begins in a space where you feel safe and understood. My approach is compassionate and grounded in strong clinical experience, guided by genuine care and respect for each person’s story. I bring a calm, steady presence to every session and see therapy as a collaborative process, one that helps you build awareness, strength, and lasting change.

With 17 years of experience as a Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with individuals, couples, children, adolescents and children to help navigate life's transitions, stressors, and relational challenges.

Graduated from Boise State Graduate School after receiving my undergrad at Lewis Clark State College. I lived in Vegas for 8 years and am now located in the Greater Seattle Area. I am a Native American but love learning about all other cultures and lifestyles. I have worked for CCSD (elementary) for the past 7 years, but now I'm looking forward to working with all ages. :) I specialize in working with people struggling with OCD.

I offer a space where rigorous thinking and genuine connection work together. I draw on psychoeducation and clinical reasoning to help adults make sense of complex patterns in their relationships, identities, and the systems that shape daily life. I see clients remotely throughout California and Nevada, with one goal: moving you from insight to sustainable progress.

Most people don't come to therapy because life is perfect. They come because they're tired of living the same painful loop and wondering when something is finally going to change. That's where I come in. I'm Jared, and I work with individuals and couples of all ages across Nevada by telehealth. I help people who feel stuck in patterns rooted in trauma, including anxiety, depression, OCD, grief, and substance use. Whether you're a single parent juggling everything, a couple working to reconnect, or someone tired of carrying it alone, I would love to help.
