Feminist Therapists in Rancho Charleston, Las Vegas, NV

"We are all seeking contentment by fulfilling our life purpose and connecting authentically with others."

Welcome! You've made it this far on your mental health journey, and maybe you are wondering what the rest of the journey might look like. The truth is: therapy is different for everyone. Some of my previous clients have enjoyed our time together talking about the events of the past week or some changes they are contemplating. Other clients have used our time together to review and process deep emotional scars, with the intention of trying to create a meaningful way to move forward towards their goals. This journey is about you and where you would like to go.

My clinical focus is on adults who need education and/or support to understand how emotional neglect, narcissistic abuse, and psychological/emotional abuse have affected their self-image, relationships, choices in partners and friends, and behavioral patterns. I work with clients who have experienced C-PTSD which develops in response to long-term trauma, abuse, and/or emotional neglect. I can also help those trying to figure out if they’re in a relationship with a narcissist or wanting to learn healthier boundaries to better manage their relationship, in any capacity, with loved ones demonstrating narcissistic traits.

*ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS* Coming to terms with the possibility that we may need support of any kind can be difficult, and once you’ve identified that need, finding a therapist or life coach to best suit your needs may prove to be even more difficult. It is paramount to our practice that client-centered treatment begins with your peace of mind, clarity, and feeling a strong presence of therapeutic support. We offer evening and weekend appointments as well as telehealth for your convenience.

My therapeutic approach is holistic, human, and individually tailored to meet the needs of clients in their current situations. As a therapist, I am a down-to-earth person who sees myself as equal to my clients, sharing a non-judgmental space to promote and honor personal growth and healing. I work with a large variety of relational issues related to transitional life experiences, as well as common mental health concerns and diagnoses. I have significant experience in sex therapy and relational issues, as well as working with non-traditional/chosen families and diverse populations. I served as a faculty member in the UNLV Couple and Family Therapy Program for the past decade supervising interns and teaching sex therapy, sexuality, and diversity. Consequently, I have enjoyed many years of working with trans, non-binary, poly, and related communities. I am passionate about working with all couple and family dynamics as well as desired individual growth in your specific context.

I love the collaborative and creative work of therapy. I see my role, not only as a trained practitioner of clinical modalities, but also as one of a midwife or gardener. I believe each of us has the wisdom of what we need to heal within us. It is not my job to teach you how to be a better person or to become whole . . . our work in therapy is to help you remember that you are and always have been—whole. Together we compost the trauma of the past and rotate, turn it, and bring it to light so that it can fertilize the soil for growth. I work with children, families, couples, and individuals of all ages.

I am passionate about working with clients to improve the quality of their relationship(s) by interrupting troublesome interactions and behaviors. This is typically done by analyzing how sexuality, gender, intimacy, and past trauma impact our perspectives and self-image. We will work collaboratively to build a trusting, compassionate, and sustainable therapeutic relationship. We will build a deeper understanding around the miscommunications that are an inherent part of life.

Welcome to a healthier, happier You! My professional therapy style is driven by real life interventions that bring about real life results. Working with individuals, couples, and families is welcome within my practice. If you struggle to feel seen, heard, and understood by those around you, I can help. You are worth the invaluable investment of time, energy and effort to create the life you want and need for yourself.

Now accepting new clients

I specialize in relationship therapy, and sex & intimacy therapy. I am a certified sex therapist and a certified trauma professional. I am kink friendly, ENM/Poly welcoming, sex worker allied and neurodivergence friendly. I also specialize in working with the unique challenges and specific mental health struggles faced by the LGBTQAI+ community (Trans, Non-Binary and those with genders outside the binary are especially welcome!) I treat individuals, couples or full polycules - as well as anyone else whose relationship configurations are considered "non-standard."

I love working with clients who value a holistic approach. I believe the greatest hope to heal our brains and therefore heal our mental health is to work on our mind, body and spirit. I integrate this to create hope with my individual clients, families and couples. It is imperative to me that hope, grace, and positivity is used to help clients heal. I enjoy working with conflicted couples, and individuals looking to heal and become empowered to be the best version of themselves.

Experiencing daily symptoms of depression and anxiety can feel exhausting. Traumatic experiences impact all aspects of our life, career and relationships and can make every decision feel overwhelming, including the decision to find a therapist. I practice from a strengths-based approach, and I consider myself straight forward, empathetic, and supportive. I enjoy working with teens and adults, focusing on a variety of issues including; trauma, anxiety-related disorders, depression, life transitions, adjustment to illness, relationship issues and self-esteem. I use a multi-faceted approach to therapy, including humor!
