Existential Therapists in Summerlin North, Las Vegas, NV

Pain can either define us or serve as the driving force for personal growth. I have dedicated an extensive amount of time to working with children, teens, parents, and adults who struggle with impulse control, existential crises, emotional challenges, and behavioral disturbances. I firmly believe that knowledge alone is insufficient; true change goes beyond conceptualization—it requires action. Clients require proven tools to actively pursue self-sufficiency.

Ever feel like the joy that once lit up your days has slipped away? Maybe life feels like it's running on autopilot, and you're struggling to be fully present.

In those moments of overwhelm, irritation, or even panic, it's a signal to pause and rethink where you're headed. Together, let's rediscover balance and regain control, cultivating a sense of hope and purpose. I have openings on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays.

My role is to guide my clients to uncover that story and help them to revise it so that they can live their lives as they choose and connect with others in a wholehearted way.

Romantic relationships are one of the hardest things that you will ever do in your life. Communication problems, arguing, bickering can lead you to have the same type of fight day after day. You both could be using attacking or harsh words in these moments of disconnection. This leads you to more hurt and pain.

Issues that you might have could be letting your partner down or not meeting their expectations, money issues, parenting disagreements, lack of sex, or even working through an affair.
