About

Hello and welcome! My name is Dr K and I currently live in Las Vegas, Nevada. I am extremely passionate about helping individuals to become the best versions of their own personal best that they can be. As a clinical psychologist, I strive to create a safe, nurturing and compassionate space where you feel genuinely heard and understood. My goal is to partner with you at the place you currently are and take your strengths to assist you with your unique life journey by offering compassionate care that is as individualized as you are.

Education & Licensure
PsyD and Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology (CSPP)in Fresno, CA; Bachelor’s in Psychology from Richard Stockton College of New Jersey in Absecon, NJ.
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

I find a genuine sense of honor when I have the opportunity to work with neurodivergent adults out of a deep respect for the unique strengths we all “bring to the table.” I want each and every individual I have the pleasure to work with to feel valued and respected. As a neurodivergent psychologist myself I am keenly aware of the struggles and strengths we deal with on a daily basis and I want you to experience the positive growth I have had when dealing with a world of “typical” people who struggle to understand our “atypical” spirit and joy towards life. Together, we can work toward a life where you feel the most understood, supported and resilient to thrive to your best life possible.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

Bringing an affirming and strengths-based approach to my clients is the number one priority for me so that each individual feels seen, valued, heard and empowered. I strongly believe each of us has unique strengths and positive qualities that can be the basis for achieving one’s individual goals. By actively listening to your unique experiences and truly validating your feelings, we create a deeply caring soace where you can finally feel you can truly express your authentic self with zero fear and with nothing but honor and respect.
