The process of building a genuine and empathetic connection is vital for the effectiveness of recognized growth.

"I am not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become." ~ Carl Jung. Do you feel overwhelmed, have pain, grief, anxiety, depression, or unseen shadows that prevent you from healing or from choosing better decisions, relationships, and allowing yourself to matter in your own life? My experience and education can help people hungering for more purpose, fulfillment, and nurturing relationships instead of dissonance, exhaustion, and sacrifice, those who know what you were aiming for, but discovered you’re at the top of the wrong ladder. If you feel like you’re different or unseen, then I may be the psychotherapist you’ve sought.

Therapy can be an invitation to explore our inner world and how it relates to the development of the self, relationships, and our way of making meaning in this world. My aim as a psychologist is to offer that unique space to clients where transformation, challenge and deeper understanding can occur. I specialize in work with LGBTQ+ youth and adults, in grief and loss, end of life concerns, identity development, trauma, anxiety, depression, chronic illness, and psychosocial oncology. I work with adults, children, and adolescents for psychotherapy and provide assessments for autism, learning disabilities and social/emotional concerns.

Has your child or adolescent’s behavior suddenly changed? Has your family undergone recent changes that could have impacted your child? Does your child appear more anxious since the pandemic? Has your child withdrawn from family, friends, or school? The demands for psychological services for children and adolescent mental health are at an all-time high, especially within the Las Vegas community. As a licensed psychologist, former educator/school counselor, and member of the Las Vegas community for the past 24 years I have an expansive understanding of the needs of children, adolescents, and families.

Your inquiry communicates hope for the future and new experiences as you read this. I value the ability to be in this space with you. In this space, I offer non-judgment as a counseling student and a safe place to get to know you, your family experiences, values, beliefs, and meaningful relationships in your life. Although I am a student, my professional development grant me the ability to support children, adolescents and their family dynamics in reaching personal goals, needs, or any expectations to gain from therapy. My empathetic understanding will provide you with a space to be heard, which will allow healing and growth.

Being seen and valued for who we truly are, particularly in a space free of judgment, bias, and pretense, is an incredible feeling. When we feel safe to be ourselves, peace and healing naturally follow. From there, we can blossom, grow, and thrive! It often takes that feeling of safety and security for the truest parts of ourselves to be free to emerge. The essence of therapy lies in the therapeutic relationship and the sense of safety that comes with it. Knowing that you are in a space where your confidence is kept, your story is protected, and your whole person is viewed with loving kindness allows for growth.

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. My main priority is to create a safe, accepting environment where my client’s feel comfortable to open up, breakthrough emotional barriers, and get past inner dialogue that is not longer working for them. I utilize hypnosis, neuro-linguistic programming, brainspotting, Parts and Memory Therapy, person-centered therapy, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral therapy in my practice.

For over 15 years I have passionately worked with youth to overcome challenges, helping them undermine this idea that they are “less than.” For 8 years I worked with adjudicated youth at a juvenile detention camp where hope lingered. For 6 years I have worked for an emergency response team tailored to helping youth with an array of problems including suicidal ideation, homicidal ideation, and self-harm intentions. I have learned to meet folks where they are and slowly walk with them at a pace where they wish to be, a more viable and attainable life.

Therapeutically, I use an integrative approach geared towards understanding self, specifically what drives one's thoughts and behaviors. I have been trained as a Clinical Psychologist, and I help identify automatic thoughts that lead to specific ideas and feelings, as well as understanding how our thoughts and behaviors are fueled by former messages that have been consistently reinforced. At the end of the day, my practice is shaped by uncovering a deeper understanding of self, discovering how our environment has constructed us, and determining what road we can choose in order to reconnect with self, others, and life.

Are you seeking relief from mental and emotional anguish? Are you struggling to cope with daily life stressors? Do you feel on edge? Are your relationships suffering? Do you struggle to keep your thoughts in the present? Do you find it hard to trust others? Are you engaging in patterns that are harmful to you, despite efforts to stop? At times, difficulties can arise that can force almost anyone to re-examine their life and realize the need for change. The good news is that we are all capable of making progress and achieving growth. All that is needed is the desire and willingness to explore what is no longer working in our lives.
