I specialize in treating an unrecognized condition in mental health: trauma. If you suffer from chronic depression or anxiety, undiagnosed trauma might be the reason why previous therapy has not worked for you. I will show you how to overcome the exhausting struggle with negative thoughts and feelings, enabling you to thrive, not just survive. I will also work with you to establish and achieve treatment goals that based on meaningful behavioral changes. I also provide couples therapy, particularly when trauma is an issue in the relationship.

Are you dealing with anxiety, stress, emotions, and behavioral issues? Are you wanting to find a better way to go about coping with these daily frustrations? Is your kiddo having a hard time expressing themselves in a positive way? If you are interested in learning about the different ways to cope with your daily frustrations and behaviors in a solution-focused and creative way, I can help! Focusing on you and how we can better suit you and your needs is my goal. With younger kids, I like to use play as a form of therapy and a way to form a connection with them.

Are you working hard and doing all the right things yet still feel there is something missing in your life? Do you wake up feeling a sense of uneasiness that something is missing? Do you find yourself bored with your life? Have you tried to feel better but only find solutions that are temporary? Have you searched online and asked all your friends and family for advice but still feel stuck? Are you worried if this is as good as life will get? You are not alone. We are witnessing a profound awakening in our society where deeper meaning and purpose is being sought by so many people.

You are valuable, and your life matters. No matter how you've been hurt, the ability to heal is within you. I work with people who have past experiences of enduring various forms of abuse. Does your past linger in your current life through painful memories, leaving you feeling disconnected from yourself and others with anxiety, insomnia, unhappiness, or low self-esteem? You want to heal from the sting of the events from your past and step into your full potential in every area of your life. Deep down, you know you deserve more and are capable of accomplishing more than the barriers that are holding you back.

We all pass through stages in life that challenge us with difficult and untimely struggles. Sometimes these struggles are better met with a team approach. You don't have to face them alone. It is often difficult to take a first step toward help, yet, here you are, taking your first step toward healing, and that is a good thing. Whether you are seeking help for yourself or someone you love--taking a step toward help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Upon graduation, I worked for a community health center as a therapist and provided mental health counseling to children, adolescents, and adults facing socioeconomic and cultural adversities.

I am a New Jersey native, who migrated to Las Vegas 5 years ago, specializing in individual therapy. I work with adults, adolescents, and children via telehealth. My goal is to collaborate with you in a safe, caring environment where genuine self-expression is encouraged and appreciated without judgement. I value the importance of the therapeutic alliance and believe it is a crucial part of the journey toward change. I will help you discover and utilize your natural strengths as you move toward lasting change, happiness and peace you desire.

Life can be complicated, overwhelming, and stressful at times. It can feel as though nothing is going as planned and other times as if making the right choice feels wrong. Therapy can be a powerful tool to help with the difficulties of life. I have worked with a wide range of individuals and families on various issues: neurodivergent issues (including ADHD, ASD, learning disabilities, and neurodiverse relationships), processing & adjusting to diagnosed chronic medical issues, military & veteran issues, burnout, anxiety & panic disorders, depressive disorders, LGBTQIA+ related issues, existential life questions, and self-esteem.

I believe that the counselor-client relationship should be one of therapeutic alliance built on trust, empathy, and respect. My work is focused on helping clients change their lives for the better, grow self-confidence, take charge of their mental health, and build healthy relationships. My overall approach supports radical acceptance and eliciting change through the therapeutic experience.

Let’s work together to develop and practice the skills that help to handle life’s stressors.

Are you having a hard time coping with feelings of anxiety and/or depression? Are you a couple feeling stuck in old patterns but unsure what to do next? You are not alone. Often, the hardest place to be is feeling stuck and yet helpless to change your situation. Starting a new phase in life often requires us to heal the injured parts of ourselves so that we can become empowered to be the best version of ourselves. I work with individuals and couples to grow their inner strengths, to help them make sense of their feelings and to heal any past trauma that might be keeping them from moving forward.

Life feeling challenging right now or maybe it has been for a long time? Is your day or even the night hard to get through? Do you have things that have happened that maybe you can't share with friends and family? Or if you have shared, the people in your life have tried but can't seem to help you? Not living the quality of life you want or had hope for? You are certainly not alone. In the nearly 20 years I have worked helping people, I have seen many people just like you struggling with feeling sad, anxious, unwell, or just dissatisfied with how they feel or are living. It does not have to be that way.
