Licensed psychologist with over decade of experience training mental health professionals & helping people manage distressing/difficult experiences that life brings our way. I am a military veteran. Extensive experience treating first responders & veterans. Over decade of crisis & mental health training to first responders. Trained by FBI in Crisis/Hostage Negotiation. On Hostage Negotiation Team since 2015. Member of Nevada Board of Psychological Examiners 2017-2021. Expertise in treatment of Trauma-Related Disorders, such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), as well as insomnia, stress, anxiety, depression & substance use. As we move through life, we learn strategies for managing our stressors and develop behaviors to deal with the pressures of our experience. There are times when our ability to cope and manage this distress can overwhelm our ability to cope. You don’t have to wait until your life is impaired by your stressors. Together, we can manage your distress. I am guided by evidenced-based practices (science of psychology) to target specific symptom presentations and maximize treatment benefit. We will work together to harness the power within, to work through seemingly impossible obstacles, and get you back on target along your optimal trajectory. You can do this. You can change. I will guide you.
