Therapy is an interactive partnership. I am the catalyst for the change that my client has locked inside of their capable mind. My ideal client is anyone who seeks to grow stronger and more confident to face their challenges with me acting as their advocate and watchful guide.
An ideal client understands that the purpose of therapy is to empower them to grow past the need for therapy to address their 'presenting problem' - Funny isn't it? If I do my job well, I render myself obsolete.

Therapy is something anyone can benefit from, and I'm here making it approachable, non-judgmental, and comfortable. I strive to work with individuals, couples, and families who want to heal, achieve their goals, and be given tools to encourage healthy bonding, communication, and strengthen relationships as a whole (friendships, romantic, family, and professional). Living in Las Vegas can be both exciting and challenging due to the unique opportunities provided here, and I offer a very down to earth approach in navigating life transitions that make navigating Sin City more enjoyable.

Are you tired of feeling controlled by your past, especially during major life transitions?
You may appear functional on the outside, but internally feel stuck replaying old experiences, blaming yourself, or getting triggered in ways you don’t fully understand. Time hasn’t healed what happened, and insight alone hasn’t created lasting change.
If you grew up with childhood trauma, emotional neglect, or unhealthy family dynamics, those patterns may still shape your relationships today. They often resurface during life transitions like career changes, relationships, parenthood, or stepping into new roles.

Something feels off. Maybe it's been building for a while. The anxiety that won't quiet down, the exhaustion that sleep doesn't fix, the relationship patterns you keep finding yourself in no matter how hard you try to change them.
Sometimes it's a specific event that brings you in. A loss, a relationship falling apart, a moment where something finally broke. Sometimes you just know something needs to change but can't figure out what's actually getting in the way. Whatever brought you here, you don't have to have it figured out before we talk.

The same painful beliefs and negative patterns keep replaying in your life over and over. Things get better for awhile, only for it all to return. You feel stuck in this cycle, always wondering when the other shoe is going to drop. Never feeling fully secure. You’ve tried ignoring the issue, pushing it down, screaming at it and nothing has worked. It continues to creep in. Chipping away at your self esteem & self worth. Affecting so much of your life and your ability to trust, not only others but yourself. You don’t just want relief, you need it. You need to find a way to truly move on.

We also integrate positive psychology, strengths-based, solution-focused, psychodynamic, and attachment-based approaches to foster insight, emotional regulation, support for addiction counseling, and collaboration
We work with adults and young adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or barely getting by. Many are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, or substance use. Some are high-functioning but feel exhausted, disconnected, or quietly struggling underneath it all. Many also deal with the stress of living in Las Vegas, fast-paced work, and nightlife environments. We help clients understand what’s really going on beneath the symptoms and build healthier ways to cope. Our approach is supportive and down-to-earth. Elevate providers are trained in EMDR or Brainspotting to treat trauma and help you move forward.
