Medicaid Therapists in Las Vegas, NV
Do you look “fine” while your mind won’t slow down and your body stays tense no matter what you try? When grief, old hurts, or a heavy season make you doubt your footing, do you wonder whether relief is even possible anymore? In my professional experience in direct client care I’ve learned that most people aren’t “too sensitive” or “too dramatic” , they’re carrying more than one nervous system can process. In therapy we make room to breathe, sort what’s urgent from what’s noisy, and practice changes small enough to live with between sessions so steadiness can return.

What would it take for the anxiety to finally let up, or for the patterns that keep showing up in your relationships, your parenting, your sense of who you are, to actually change? Most people who find their way to me have been trying to manage on their own for a long time. They're self-aware, they hold their families together, and they still quietly doubt whether they're doing enough. That's where we start. The goal is building the internal foundation that makes the relief last.

I work with teens and young adults who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, low self-esteem, emotional overwhelm, relationship challenges, or difficult life transitions. Many of my clients feel stuck, disconnected, misunderstood, or unsure of how to move forward. They may be navigating the impact of past experiences while trying to manage the pressures of school, relationships, family dynamics, or everyday life.
I strive to create a supportive and nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe to be themselves, explore their emotions, and begin healing at their own pace.

I am in-network for Silver Summit, Molina, Ambetter, fee-for-service Medicaid.
I have a high success rate with patients who are diagnosed with grief, post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety and anger issues. I have personal experience and recovery from the effects of trauma. Clients who have anxiety benefit from coping/calming therapy techniques. I am qualified to work with families to reduce conflict, teaching fair fighting, and communication skills. Also, work with people to reduce negative symptoms of Schizophrenia and Bipolar. Christian Therapy is very effective for persons who are spiritual in nature. Children have unusual ways of communicating their feelings, and my focus is to build worth and self-esteem through Play Therapy.

Therapy helps relieve clients by offering skills and techniques to heal. Let’s move through, instead of around, emotional pain and that feeling of being stuck.
I also provide secondary supervision to enhance the growth of professionalism for interns.
