About
My style and approach help clients address and work through challenges of life transitions and social pressures.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Las Vegas, Nevada, with 10 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families. I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, addiction, grief and loss, emotional dysregulation, and family conflict. I aim to create a safe, supportive space where clients can begin healing, gain insight, and start feeling better in their everyday lives.
I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the Jane Addams College of Social Work. My therapeutic approach is tailored to each client’s needs and integrates a variety of evidence-based modalities. I help clients process life transitions, emotional challenges, and social pressures while promoting lasting growth and resilience.
I create a calming and welcoming environment where my clients feel heard and accepted. My communication style is empathetic, collaborative, and grounded in active listening. I want clients to feel comfortable sharing openly and to walk away from each session empowered to advocate for themselves and continue their healing journey.

At Thriveworks, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) primarily concentrates on assisting individuals in emotion regulation, enhancing interpersonal relationships, and acquiring effective coping strategies for managing stress and emotional difficulties.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) targets your personal challenges. You may work with your DBT therapist to maintain diary cards to monitor progress, emphasizing validation and support in the therapeutic relationship. DBT follows a stage-based approach, prioritizing crisis reduction initially and life satisfaction.
DBT was initially developed to address the needs of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, its versatile approach has enabled its application to a wide range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, and anger issues.
The 4 pillars of DBT are mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) have distinct purposes and aren’t inherently superior or inferior to one another. DBT is most effective for managing emotional regulation, personality disorders, and interpersonal challenges, while EMDR is specifically tailored for individuals with trauma-related conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with therapists at Thriveworks in , NV is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of a standard DBT program is typically around 24 weeks, which is roughly six months. The actual number of sessions will vary depending on the issues you wish to address.
