Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Nevada

When working with clients who have experienced trauma and PTSD, I create a safe environment and provide education on symptoms and coping strategies. I use evidence-based therapies like CPT or EMDR, teach coping skills, and may collaborate on medication management. I offer supportive counseling, gradual exposure to triggers, and consider holistic well-being in the treatment plan. Collaboration and advocacy are prioritized to empower clients in their healing journey.

I have worked in a variety of settings including hospital medicine, primary care, chronic care management, acute rehabilitation, telemedicine, mental health, pain management, home health, MAT therapy, hospice, university teaching, and medical aesthetics. I am a graduate of Oakland University, Grand Canyon University, and Mayo Clinic School of Health Sciences. I am a member of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners and hold ACNPC-AG certification from the American Association of Critical Care Nurses and ACLS/BLS certifications from the American Heart Association. I enjoy helping my clients restore their mental and physical health and teaching them how to best use the tools they have to handle difficulties and illnesses. I am committed to providing quality, compassionate, and comprehensive medical and mental health services to my patients.
