Couples therapists in Nevada

I was originally a high school English teacher and college professor. When I completely my first master's degree in English I started doing yoga which made me interested in healing. I then became a yoga teacher and decided to go back to school to become a mental health counselor. Now I continue to teach yoga and yoga teacher trainings while also being a mental health counselor. It is my passion to help people remember that healing mentally and physically is always possible inside and out.

I have over 25 years of experience in the mental health field. Originally from Brazil, I worked as a social worker for 15 years before relocating to the United States to pursue my master’s degree.

For the past five years, I have worked in school settings supporting children and adolescents as a school-based mental health professional. During this time, I have completed extensive training in areas including family systems, trauma, autism, ADHD, grief, learning disabilities, and behavioral crisis interventions.

I am a passionate advocate for the well-being and safety of children and families, and I am committed to providing compassionate, culturally responsive support.

I work hard to be clinically informed and Christ centered in all that I do with my clients.

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.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC) with advanced training in trauma and mindfulness. Before opening my private practice, I worked in forensic and community settings supporting clients involved with the justice system, those affected by interpersonal violence, and people navigating substance use and recovery.

My practice focuses on trauma, addiction, and personality-related challenges, with additional experience addressing mood instability, codependency, identity development, and relationship patterns. I provide inclusive, affirming care for LGBTQ+ clients and individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds.

I approach therapy with curiosity, humor, and honesty, offering space to explore patterns, build self-trust, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I was born and raised in Montana and have a genuine passion for nature and the outdoors. I received my Bachelors in Psychology at Montana State University in 2001. I then pursued my Masters of Social Work degree and graduated in 2008 from the University of Montana. This graduate program had a focus on providing a social justice and integrated practitioner perspective. I have an eclectic style that can be tailored to each unique individual. My primary therapeutic methods include Mindfulness Based, Holistic, Exposure, Narrative, Cognitive and Behavioral, Strengths Based & Solution Focused Therapies. I provide a non-judgmental and compassionate environment that often helps people feel comfortable. A true passion of mine is structuring therapeutic activities for clients to express, process, increase self-awareness, and de-stress from life’s challenging and developmental experiences.
