Therapists in Las Vegas, NV

Whether you are looking to process current or past trauma, work through general life stress, relationship issues or build coping skills finding the right therapist is important. I approach therapy from an eclectic perspective because no one approach works for everyone. I am a direct therapist that will help guide you to your definition of peace, tranquility and overall happiness, whatever that might be. I identify as Latinx with mixed race children and can help process implicit/explicit bias and racial trauma.

I provide a non-judgmental, collaborative approach to help you understand your behaviors, emotions, and the reason you are seeking therapy at this time. My goal is to help you identify and work through any barriers keeping you from living a happy and meaningful life.

A terrifying event, whether seen or experienced, can trigger lasting symptoms. You feel them in your body. While you can't quite identify them, you do know that you feel their effects every day. Panic attacks, nightmares, flashbacks, and more. What you may be experiencing are the symptoms of trauma. They might be sudden and intense, ongoing, new, or stemming from childhood. Either way, their effects can be powerful and life-altering. It's true, some people may feel these symptoms and move forward with a peaceful, undisturbed existence. Unfortunately, for you, “peaceful and undisturbed” feels like it left your life long ago.

We all get stuck, but we don't have to stay that way. Therapy is a place for new beginnings. Beginning to learn about ourselves. Beginning to increase self-love and appreciation. Beginning to heal. I believe all individuals are unique, thus therapy is not a one size fits all. I aim to meet each client where they are, with understanding and a strong therapeutic relationship as the foundation for a transformative process. Most of us are doing the best we can with what we've received from our loved ones and early experiences, my goal is to have you leave with more, and for your best to only get better.

The most important elements of effectiveness in therapy are human and relational. In other words, finding a therapist that is warm, caring, empathetic, knowledgeable, and is able to interact with you in a way that is healing is going to be most effective in changing your life. My mission is to ensure that you have individualized treatment so that you don't feel like "just another client".

“Beloved community is formed not by the eradication of difference but by its affirmation, by each of us claiming the identities and cultural legacies that shape who we are and how we live in the world.” [― bell hooks, Killing Rage: Ending Racism.] In my practice, I follow a humanistic and client-centered approach. I am currently working towards certification in EMDR, and strive to be trauma-informed and social-justice oriented. My focus is in depression, anxiety, disordered eating, LGBT+ issues, ADHD, Autism, and I work with adults, children, and adolescents.

I am accepting Individual Clients, 16 years and older for telehealth sessions only at this time. Many of us experience a time in our life when we feel overwhelmed, stuck, or just not sure where to turn. Seeking out a therapist could give you the opportunity to identify and process thoughts and feelings to get clarity, gain coping strategies, and explore next steps. I approach counseling with the belief that we all have the answers within. My goal is to support, encourage, and to challenge you to do the inner work to identify what the right answer is for you.

**Accepting new clients** We all have the potential to grow and to achieve happiness and fulfillment in our lives. Sometimes this is not always an easy process. Life is full of challenges and some of them can be quite debilitating, impairing our ability to function. Regardless of whether you are experiencing a crisis (traumatic experience, relationship distress, divorce, grief) or desperately trying to change an old pattern of behavior, I am here to listen. I want to help you succeed and break free of whatever it may be causing you pain and suffering.

I specialize in neuropsychology testing and assessment for school age children and adolescents. When children are having difficulty in school or at home it is important to evaluate cognitive, educational, emotional, and social functioning. Your child may find school difficult due to a learning disability, ADHD, or another factor which may be interfering with learning. On the other hand, your child may find school boring and "too easy". A neuropsychological assessment will help you better understand your child's needs in school and at home and start you on the path to better meeting those needs.

Acknowledgement is the first step in making a change and it is important to choose a therapist who is right for you. I believe in assisting you with issues that you identify as problematic and provide unbiased support necessary to achieve change. Talking to a therapist provides you an opportunity to be heard without judgement, which is not always possible when talking to friends and family. I specialize in the treatment of depression, anxiety, psychosis, and relationship conflict with those who are 13 years and older.

**CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS** Tired of going through the emotional struggles alone? Does it seem like there's no one else you can talk to or help? Are you feeling overwhelmed with emotions and don't know what to do? Feeling nervous, depressed, angry, or just need some temporary guidance? Having problems coping with a loved ones addiction, violence, anger? Have a child out of control? No problem is too big or too small. I will listen to you and we can work together to find solutions in a non-judgmental, safe, and comfortable environment.

Making a decision to sit down with someone and disclose difficult moments and experiences in your life can be overwhelming and exhausting - it's okay to ask for help and support. No matter what you are experiencing, I am here to help without judgment. Your experience is important to me and you deserve to be heard. This is your opportunity to have your own space - to find clarity, insight, relief, and understanding.
