I support youth and adults navigating substance use, relapse patterns, and the stressors that keep them stuck.
Healing happens in relationship and in spaces where you feel seen, believed, and supported without judgment. I specialize in working with people who have carried heavy stories alone for too long: survivors of trauma, individuals navigating addiction, and those trying to break long‑standing relational patterns. My style is calm, present, and attuned. I help you name your emotions, understand your nervous system, and reconnect with your strengths. Therapy with me is collaborative and paced with care, honoring both your lived experience and your capacity for change.

Specializing in PTSD, anxiety, and substance use, I use a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Strength-Based approaches to help you move from simply "coping" to actually thriving.
It feels like you’re constantly "on guard," waiting for the next wave of anxiety or a memory you’d rather forget to pull you under. You might be struggling to stay afloat while managing the weight of past trauma, or perhaps you’re noticing that a glass of wine or a habit has turned from a "reward" into a necessity just to numb the stress. It’s exhausting to feel like you’re working twice as hard as everyone else just to feel "normal." You don’t have to figure this out alone. My approach is built on the belief that you are the expert of your own life—I am here to provide the tools to help you reclaim it.

I am particularly interested in clients that are open to cultivating the garden of their life. Our life can represent a garden; in any garden there are beautiful flowers and unfortunately there are thorns and thistles. My client must be willing to smell the aroma of the flowers as we travel through the thorns and thistles of the garden life also.

I work with teens (14+) and adults dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, substance use, identity confusion, and the weight of being human.
Life can get heavy and overwhelming at times - and not just in a “I’m having a bad day” kind of way. Maybe you’re stuck in patterns that don’t make sense anymore, carrying things that aren’t yours, or trying to hold it all together for everyone else. Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you; it is about helping you get clear, grounded, and real - building awareness of exactly what you are feeling and how these feelings came to be. This understanding makes it possible to respond differently - and live in a way that feels authentic and true.

Your child has been tested, maybe medicated, maybe put on a behavior plan and the school is still calling. What you've watched doesn't show up in the IEP: the meltdowns, the opposition and no one at the table has a real answer for the gap. In more than 20 years working with families I've found that behavior that looks like defiance almost always covers something else. When we find what's underneath, the patterns that felt permanent start to move. You'll leave with strategies that work at home and your child will start to feel understood.

You jolt upright in bed, heart pounding, trying to catch your breath. You're plagued by dreams of that devastating event night after night. Even now, the physical sensations, smells, sights, and sounds are so very vivid and easily triggered. It happened 20 years ago, but you still feel so powerless. "Why can't I just get over this?" you plead with yourself. Ever since then, life has been difficult. It's hard to hold down a job, let alone pursue a career. Friends and family try to connect, but you're always distant and guarded. Every relationship seems to dissolve into the same abusive cycle. You can't go on like this anymore.

Sex therapy and relationship therapy in Las Vegas for individuals and couples navigating shifts in desire, intimacy, and connection, including the impact of sexual trauma.

My approach integrates sex therapy, relational work, and somatic awareness to understand what’s underneath these changes and support a more grounded, responsive experience of intimacy.
