Weight Loss Therapists in Las Vegas, NV
You have spent a long time holding everything together for your family, friends & team. But lately, it feels like that constant weight is finally catching up with you. You might find yourself lying awake replaying difficult moments, bracing for the next crisis, or wondering how much longer you can keep performing at this level without burning out. On paper, you may look accomplished and “fine,” yet inside there may be a mix of unresolved trauma, anxiety, grief, or exhaustion that doesn’t get much space because everyone is used to you being the strong one.

As a trauma-informed systemic therapist, I take a collaborative and humanistic approach as I provide psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and families. To better understand an individual's worldview, meeting them where they are, understanding their perspectives, and presenting issues that have brought them to seek therapy is vital. Connecting with people through a humanistic approach allows us to comprehend one another through fundamental connections we share, such as emotions and sensations. Through collaboration and authenticity, I utilize myself as a tool through dynamic conversations and applying skills to encourage change.

You had a good day. Work went well; you exercised; maybe even spent time with people you care about. Then you got home, noticed everything you had not done, opened your phone “for a minute,” and disappeared into comparison, research, or another plan to improve your life. By bedtime, the day no longer felt like enough. I work with thoughtful, driven folks, often ADHD or ADHD-ish, who look capable from the outside but feel restless, scattered, disconnected, or chronically behind. You may be successful and self-aware, yet exhausted from constantly trying to fix yourself.

I enable clients to strengthen their relationships, so they can recognize themselves as the safe confident and complete individuals they are.

You're driven, capable, and by most measures — doing fine. But underneath that, there's a relentless hum of worry that won't quiet down. Maybe it's panic that comes out of nowhere, intrusive thoughts you can't explain, or a nervous system that never fully relaxes. Perhaps past trauma is showing up in your relationships, your sleep, or the way you move through daily life. My clients are high-functioning adults — parents, professionals, caregivers — who are tired of white-knuckling it and ready to actually feel better. You've likely tried pushing through on your own. I'm here when you're ready for something different.

Hello! My name is Joanna and thank you for reading my profile. I provide individual and family therapy to clients of most ages (5 and older). Prior to working as a therapist, I was a special education teacher. Working as a teacher taught me the importance of a trusting relationship. I love working as a therapist and my favorite part is the unique relationship I build with each client. It is through this trusting, judgement-free relationship that clients can feel safe to self-examine. I work side by side with clients to explore the root causes of unhelpful behaviors and identify a better way of relating to oneself and others.

****NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS*** For better or worse our early relationships strongly impact our emotional experiences as adults, often in ways we do not understand. If you're dissatisfied in your life, you probably have tried to find solutions on your own before considering contacting a therapist. Or maybe you tried therapy and it only helped you temporarily or partially, but never got to the heart of the problem. I work with adults and couples facing challenges and who seek a deeper understanding of themselves. There is a biological need to feel understood that exists within all of us, which is where our emotional life exists.
