About Lysette

As we navigate life stressors, we often feel obligated to push through challenges and ignore our body signals of distress. Therapy helps address the mental and emotional barriers through appropriate communication and guidance to explore change. My style can be described as direct and compassionate, fostering healthy communication while building a strong therapeutic alliance. I do not conform to one treatment modality but like to explore the best fit for you.

I am EMDR trained and specialize in trauma-informed treatment for individuals and families. I have experience in the areas of PTSD, trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, intergenerational cultural conflicts, and communication barriers. I have a background in supporting families who are fostering, attempting to foster or have had disruption in the family due to fostering. I have recenlty completed training in perinatal mental health and I am working on a certificaiton in this area of treatment and support.

Born in Southern California but Raised in Carson City, you can almost say I am a Nevada Native. When I’m not providing therapy, I’m most likely chasing my toddler and spending my time with my husband. My guilty pleasure is to browse local thrift shops with my besties or catching up on reality TV.

I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey to healing and personal growth. Let's start this journey together!
