Specializations
I offer a range of services to meet the needs of every client. Below are some of the most common issues I tackle in therapy with clients.
-
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is more than distractibility. It affects executive functioning — the brain’s ability to plan, regulate emotions, manage time, and initiate tasks.
Neurodivergence is not a disorder to fix — it’s a different way of experiencing and processing the world.
-
Healthy relationships don’t have to follow a traditional script. Whether you’re practicing polyamory, consensual non-monogamy (CNM), relationship anarchy, kink-informed dynamics, or redefining partnership in your own way — therapy should be affirming, not corrective.
-
Parenting can be deeply meaningful — and deeply triggering.
Many parents want to break generational cycles but were never shown what emotional regulation or secure attachment looked like. Parenting often activates unresolved childhood wounds.
Parenting isn’t about perfection. It’s about connection and repair.
-
Trauma can stem from childhood neglect, betrayal, emotional abuse, racism, attachment wounds, accidents, or sudden loss. Sometimes trauma shows up as anxiety, people-pleasing, shutdown, or perfectionism.
Healing doesn’t erase the past. It helps you feel steady in the present.
ADHD & Neurodivergence
ADHD: It’s Not a Discipline Problem — It’s a Nervous System Difference
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is often misunderstood as laziness, lack of motivation, or poor time management. In reality, ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that impacts executive functioning — the brain’s ability to plan, prioritize, regulate emotions, initiate tasks, and sustain focus.
ADHD can look different in adults than in children. Many high-achieving adults — especially women and people of color — were never diagnosed. Instead, they internalized labels like “scattered,” “too sensitive,” “dramatic,” or “inconsistent.” Underneath those labels is often a nervous system that works differently, not incorrectly.
Common adult ADHD experiences include:
Chronic overwhelm despite being capable
Difficulty starting tasks (even important ones)
Hyperfocus on certain interests
Emotional intensity or rejection sensitivity
Forgetfulness or disorganization
ADHD is not about willpower — it’s about regulation. Therapy can help you:
Build systems that work with your brain
Improve emotional regulation
Reduce shame and self-criticism
Strengthen communication in relationships
Develop sustainable routines
You are not broken. You may just need support that fits your wiring.
ADHD & Neurodivergence
Neurodivergence is not a disorder to fix — it’s a different way of experiencing and processing the world.
Neurodivergent individuals may identify as having ADHD, Autism, sensory processing differences, learning differences, or other cognitive variations. Many adults were never formally diagnosed, yet have spent years masking, overcompensating, or feeling misunderstood.
Therapy should not focus on making you “more normal.” It should focus on helping you live sustainably, confidently, and authentically.
You Might Be Neurodivergent If You Experience:
Sensory overwhelm or shutdown
Social exhaustion from masking
Intense focus on special interests
Emotional intensity or difficulty regulating
Executive functioning challenges
Feeling “different” your entire life
Neurodivergent-affirming therapy focuses on:
Reducing shame from years of misunderstanding
Supporting unmasking safely
Building regulation skills for your nervous system
Creating systems that support your brain
Improving relationships without suppressing identity
Masking may have helped you survive — but it can also lead to burnout, anxiety, depression, and identity confusion.
You deserve support that honors your wiring instead of pathologizing it.
If you're seeking neurodivergent-affirming therapy in Henderson or the Las Vegas area, therapy can be a space where you don’t have to perform — you can simply be.
Alternative and Nontraditional Couples
Redefining What Partnership Can Look Like
Healthy relationships don’t have to follow a traditional script.
Alternative or non-traditional relationships may include consensual non-monogamy, polyamory, relationship anarchy, kink-informed dynamics, co-parenting partnerships, or couples choosing not to marry. What defines health isn’t the structure — it’s consent, communication, and emotional safety.
Unfortunately, many people in non-traditional relationships struggle to find affirming mental health support. Therapy should not begin with judgment or attempts to “normalize” you into a conventional mold.
In healthy non-traditional dynamics, partners prioritize:
Clear agreements and ongoing consent
Emotional accountability
Boundaries and transparency
Secure attachment practices
Conflict repair skills
Therapy can support individuals and partners in:
Navigating jealousy and insecurity
Repairing trust ruptures
Defining agreements intentionally
Strengthening communication
Processing stigma or family pressure
Love is not one-size-fits-all. What matters most is that your relationship feels aligned, respectful, and emotionally safe.
Parenting
Raising Regulated Humans While Regulating Yourself
Parenting can be one of the most meaningful — and triggering — roles we step into.
Many parents want to break generational cycles, but were never shown what emotional regulation, secure attachment, or healthy conflict looked like growing up. As a result, parenting often activates unresolved childhood wounds.
You may notice:
Big reactions to “small” behaviors
Guilt or shame after yelling
Anxiety about getting it “wrong.”
Difficulty setting boundaries without feeling harsh
Exhaustion from trying to be everything for everyone
Parenting is less about perfection and more about repair.
Therapeutic support can help you:
Understand your child’s nervous system
Strengthen attachment through connection
Build consistent, firm, and loving boundaries
Regulate yourself before responding
Heal your inner child while raising your actual child
You don’t have to parent from survival mode. You can parent from steadiness.
Trauma
When the Past Lives in the Present
Trauma is not just what happened to you — it’s what happened inside of you as a result.
Trauma can stem from acute events (accidents, violence, loss) or chronic experiences (emotional neglect, instability, racism, betrayal, attachment wounds). Sometimes trauma doesn’t look dramatic — it looks like anxiety, people-pleasing, shutdown, or difficulty trusting others.
Common trauma responses include:
Hypervigilance or constant anxiety
Emotional numbness
Difficulty with intimacy
Overworking or perfectionism
Explosive anger or irritability
Dissociation
Trauma lives in the nervous system. That’s why simply “talking it through” isn’t always enough. Healing often requires a body-based, attachment-informed approach.
Trauma-informed therapy focuses on:
Safety first
Choice and collaboration
Nervous system regulation
Rebuilding internal trust
Rewriting survival patterns that no longer serve you
Healing doesn’t erase the past — it changes your relationship with it.
You deserve to feel steady in your body and safe in your life.
