Couples Counseling Therapists in Las Vegas, NV

Now accepting new clients. I believe we all need two voices in order to fully understand our own minds, and this is in large part the work of a counselor: to hear both these voices clearly and then to support you in the direction you want to go. It is then to help you build skills, see your own strengths, and learn to trust and rely more on yourself. "One must have the adventurous daring to accept oneself as a bundle of possibilities and undertake the most interesting game in the world-making the most of one's best". I am also trained in EMDR which is very effective in neutralizing negative and traumatic memories.
