I am dedicated to providing a compassionate and supportive space for individuals to explore and navigate their person challenges. With a combination of formal education and lived life experiences, I bring a unique perspective to my practice that allows me to connect with my clients on a deeper level!

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.

People seek therapy because they instinctively know that by reaching out to make a connection, they can get a greater understanding and courage. I would like to assist you in the process of gaining better clarity in your life. Through this connection, we can discover a bridge that leads to your inner power and confidence. Working as a Critical Incident Stress Debriefing Counselor, I use several tools, including Mindfulness Techniques, Solution Focused Therapy, Functional Family Therapy, and practices from my book The "I AM" Solution. I want to empower you to find your potential and transformation. Peace and Blessings.

I’m an LCSW. I really enjoy getting to know my clients and building a strong therapeutic relationship with them. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, sense of self, and also high achievers. Many things can stir up emotions, past experiences and trauma. My goal is to help you understand and work through those experiences and feelings. I'll help you reconnect with your inner strength and resilience, moving past the painful experiences that may be holding you back. I can support you in letting go of negative self-views, reducing your levels of distress, and building a renewed sense of confidence, worth, and peace. This process is about helping you both heal and rediscover the core strengths and values that make you, you.

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or emotionally exhausted? I help adults manage anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, and ADHD through structured, supportive online therapy. Many of my clients are high-functioning professionals who feel pressure to “hold it together” while struggling internally.

I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 13 years of experience. I provide online therapy and am in-network with major insurance plans to make care accessible and practical.
