ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Sparks, NV

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.

My ideal client is someone who is ready to make a change even if they aren’t sure how. I work with many clients who struggle with all types of trauma, mood disorders, neurodivergence and often a combination of these traits. I often work with my clients to help them set attainable goals and break down complex situations piece by piece. I also strive to make a safe space for LGBTQ+ and encourage expressions of all gender identities and sexualities. Vulnerability is key to healing and I welcome anyone who is ready to begin and honest conversation about their goals.

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.
