Individual Therapy
I offer individual online therapy sessions for adults in Nevada and California. All sessions are provided through secure telehealth, allowing you to access support from the comfort and privacy of your own space.
Each session is tailored to your specific concerns, goals, and the pace that feels right for you. Whether you are managing anxiety, OCD or intrusive thoughts, depression, trauma, perinatal mental health concerns, or navigating a major life transition, therapy is a place to feel heard, understood, and supported.
Areas of Focus
While I specialize in anxiety, OCD and intrusive thoughts, trauma recovery, perinatal mental health, and major life transitions, therapy is always tailored to your specific concerns.
Anxiety & Depression
Finding stability and hope amidst overwhelming emotions.
Trauma Recovery
Processing past experiences to move forward with safety, strength, and a regulated nervous system.
Life Transitions
Navigating changes in career, relationships, or identity.
Perinatal Mental Health
Providing a supportive space to navigate the complex emotions of pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood.
My Approach to Therapy
My work is grounded in evidence-based, trauma-informed therapies that support meaningful and lasting change.
-
ACT helps clients develop psychological flexibility by learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and emotions rather than trying to eliminate them, with a focus on mindfulness, values, and meaningful action.
-
ART is a trauma-focused therapy that uses eye movements and imagery to help the brain reprocess distressing memories and reduce emotional intensity, often in a relatively short number of sessions.
-
ERP is the gold-standard treatment for OCD and anxiety disorders, helping clients gradually face feared thoughts or situations while resisting compulsive behaviors so anxiety decreases naturally over time.
-
DBT teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships, and is especially helpful for mood disorders such as bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder.
-
Somatic approaches support healing by working with the body’s nervous system to release stored tension, increase regulation, and create a greater sense of safety and grounding.
