Cancer Therapists in Las Vegas, NV

After many years of seeing clients, I have understood that a therapist's role is to encourage action by fostering one's belief in self, others, and the world; courage; and realistic goals. Through these actions, I've come to believe that clients will eventually free themselves of the handcuffs that affect their mental well-being. My goal is to be a catalyst for change.

I opened CORE Mental Health Services to help individuals, couples, and families who are dealing with both mental and physical health issues. Whether it is physical (such as diabetes cancer , and chronic pain) or mental (such as anxiety, depression, and trauma), health issues you are trying to work out, I focus on personal and relational healing. When we are hurting, we often feel anxious, sad, and frustrated that we get stuck. I work with my clients to address the stressors working towards noticeable results with lasting effects. I can provide a safe and confidential environment so you can heal.

I have over 8+ years of clinical experience across a variety of settings including inpatient psychiatric hospital, crisis intervention, outpatient, the Clark County School District (CCSD), and in private practice. I have provided administrative and clinical supervision to UNLV practicum students, CSW-interns, and colleagues to enhance their knowledge base. I work with children (ages 5-12 y/o), youth, adults, couples, families and maintain an affirming stance for individuals who identify as members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Good communication skills are important, though sometimes we need guidance on expressing our needs to others. Together, we can work on these skills. Creating goals together in small steps is vital for progress and change. You are the expert on your life, and the therapist is the expert on the process. I aim to guide you through the process as a collaborator in achieving the goals you bring into the therapeutic environment. I can help guide your growth by getting to know you and helping you recognize dysfunctional patterns.

Life isn't always as easy as we would like it to be. Sometimes the road gets complicated, and the path to happiness can get clouded. As a licensed clinical profession counselor, my goals are to help bring awareness and insight into the life of my clients, and to help them discover the road that is most true to themselves. I thrive on creating a comfortable, open, and relaxed atmosphere where clients can have the opportunity for self-reflection and insight. I work with clients ages 16 and above, provide help with depression and anxiety issues, and I particularly like working with adult children of alcoholics.

I work with individuals who are ready to make positive changes in their lives. I utilize a holistic approach in my sessions to ensure that my clients have the tools necessary to maintain balance in all areas of their lives.

***ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS***The hardest thing in the world to do is to take the first step. I will applaud you for taking the first step in receiving counseling. Your life doesn't have to be a cocoon where only you know what is going on inside your life. Within every person, there is a desire to to be wanted, needed, or valued. No matter what challenges you face in life, you don't have to face them alone. I am here and willing to help you sort out challenges and assist you to transform into the life you deserve.

Sometimes our lives get out of balance. Life throws more on our plate than we believe we can handle and our ability to cope starts to deteriorate. You're willing to work, but it may be difficult to find your way out of the box you feel trapped in. When you're in crisis, you don't want to wait for services and you certainly don't want to feel like just another number in line. You want help right away so you can get on with your life. My commitment is to provide that quality of care in a timely manner.

Are you saying yes, when you really mean no? Do you handle everything by yourself because you don't trust or want to burden anyone? Worrying about the past, opinions of others or the endless what ifs? Just wishing you could shut off your brain or sleep it away? Are you feeling numb, easily angered or on edge with overwhelming emotions? The cycle of anxiety and self doubt is exhausting. You and your quality of life are suffering. There is a different way, you don't have to do it alone anymore. Therapy offers you clear guidance to create the life you desire, free of anxiety and feeling confident in yourself and your relationships.
