Our Story
​
In 2017, our clinic opened in Las Vegas, growing out of a private practice I had been building since 2009. At that point, it felt important to create more than just a place for therapy. I wanted to build a space where newer clinicians could be supported, mentored, and grounded in thoughtful, ethical work—while also offering steady, meaningful care to the community.
​
Just six months after we opened, the Route 91 mass shooting shook our city. Like so many others in Las Vegas, we felt the weight of that moment deeply. Our focus during that time was on being present and responsive, offering care in ways that felt steady, respectful, and attuned to what people were carrying.
When the pandemic arrived, it brought a different kind of disruption. We transitioned to virtual services so we could continue supporting our clients through a period of widespread uncertainty and loss. While the format changed, our approach did not. We stayed focused on connection, consistency, and meeting people where they were.
​
Today, the clinic continues to be a steady presence for individuals, couples, and families in Las Vegas. We value thoughtful care, genuine connection, and showing up with care and attention. As we move forward, our intention remains simple: to be a place of support for the community we are part of and care deeply about.
