CHAMPVA Therapists in Las Vegas, NV
Are you stuck in cycles of anxiety or depression that no amount of willpower seems to break? Have addiction or past trauma started affecting every part of your life, your relationships, your focus, your sense of who you are? I work with adults in Las Vegas and across Nevada, particularly Black women and people of color, who have been carrying these patterns without ever getting to the root of them. That's where we start. You leave with a clearer picture of where these patterns came from and enough ground under you to begin shifting them.

Does your child come home from school wound up, shut down, or in tears and you're not sure which version you'll get today? Is your teen avoiding everything that used to matter to them, or melting down over things that seem small from the outside? You're not imagining it, and it's not a parenting failure. I work with children and teens in Nevada whose anxiety, ADHD, or autism makes daily life harder than it needs to be — in school, at home, and in their own heads. Across every age I work with, the goal is the same: more control over your own life than you had when you walked in.

Are you caught in patterns around substance use that keep affecting your decisions or relationships, even when you're trying to change? Do your reactions feel bigger or faster than the moment calls for? I work with adults across Nevada who've done the work on their own and keep ending up in the same place. Together, we go straight to where those responses take root and interrupting them before they steer. As that changes, your choices become more reliable and your relationships begin to reflect it.

I now take many insurances in the Aetna and Optum networks, ChampVA, and Medicare.
FREE 15 minute phone consultation. If you're struggling with stressful relationships, a dysfunctional past, anxiety, sadness, impossible life circumstances, or unhealthy coping, I would be honored to work with you. Seeing a psychologist for help with your personal struggles is a courageous step, especially if you've never seen a therapist before. Therapy can be hard work. It can mean facing yourself and your emotions in a very real way, but it can also mean growing in ways you didn't think possible before. In my practice YOU are the focus, not your problem.

Do you find yourself getting in your own way, even when you know what needs to change? You may struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, or patterns that lead to overthinking, avoidance, or pulling back just as things start to move forward.

The work centers on making sense of what’s happening, so your reactions stop feeling automatic and start making more sense.

You may feel overwhelmed by anxiety, anger, or relationship strain that keeps repeating no matter how hard you try to change it.

The most courageous people I've worked with over 25 years aren't those who never experienced trauma, they're those who refused to let their worst experiences become their entire story. You've already survived the unsurvivable: perhaps betrayal that demolished your ability to trust, combat experiences that rewired your threat detection, or childhood wounds that taught you love comes with conditions and pain. What brought you here is the knowledge that surviving isn't the same as healing, and that the protective mechanisms that once saved you are now preventing the connection and peace you deserve.

The most resilient people I've worked with over 17 years aren't those who never struggled, they're those who decided their pain wouldn't have the final word. You may be carrying the weight of a relationship that's left you questioning your worth, trauma that shows up uninvited in your daily life, or anxiety and depression that make even ordinary days feel impossible. What brings you here is the recognition that simply getting through each day isn't the same as actually living — and that the coping strategies that once protected you may now be keeping you stuck.
