For women with ADHD who look like they have it together, and for couples ready to feel close again.

I’m Carly, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the Las Vegas Valley. I work with women with ADHD who are tired of believing they’re the problem, and with couples who want to rebuild the connection they’ve lost. The details look different, but the heart of it is the same: helping you feel like yourself again.

Who I help

I work with women with ADHD who look like they have it together on the outside and feel scattered and exhausted on the inside. Many of them have spent years believing they’re the problem, and our work together is about untangling that so they can trust themselves again. You can read more about adult ADHD therapy for women.

I also work with couples who love each other but have lost the connection, whether that shows up as the same fight on repeat or a quiet distance neither of you knows how to cross. Together, we look at the pattern you’re stuck in and build a relationship where you both feel seen and safe. You can read more about couples therapy.

How I work

You’ll feel welcomed before you feel analyzed. I’m laid back and warm, and I laugh with my clients, sometimes a real belly laugh in the middle of a session. That same room can hold the heaviest emotions too, and I’ll go there with you, all the way down, not just to the funny parts. When I notice a pattern, I’ll name it plainly and kindly, without softening it into nothing. Clients tell me it feels like trust: warm enough to laugh, honest enough to go deep, and direct enough to help.

My approach is trauma-informed and mindfulness-based, and it draws on attachment theory, experiential practices, and a person-centered philosophy. I believe every person is on their own path, so you set the goals and I bring the tools. Along the way we’ll build coping skills you can use between sessions, and we’ll gently explore the parts of you that got tucked away, so you can reconnect with who you really are. With couples, I use Emotionally Focused Therapy, which focuses on the emotional bond underneath the arguments.

Education and experience

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Nevada (MFT, 1004). I earned my bachelor’s in Psychology and Communication Studies at UNLV, where I got involved in campus organizations and kept finding myself in deep conversations, supporting people through hard things. That pull toward listening and empathy turned into a clear sense of purpose, and it led me back to UNLV for my Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy. Go Rebels! Grad school gave me a foundation in systems thinking, which means I look at you and at the relationships around you.

Since then, I’ve worked in agency settings, community mental health, and group practice. Each one taught me something different, and together they taught me to meet people where they are, with flexibility and a steady presence.
