*ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS* Although we're located in Clark County, we also serve all areas of Nevada. Coming to terms with the possibility that we may need support of any kind can be difficult, and once you’ve identified that need, finding a therapist to best suit your needs may prove to be even more difficult. It is paramount to our practice that client-centered treatment begins with your peace of mind, clarity, and feeling a strong presence of therapeutic support. We have clinicians on staff Monday - Sunday and on evenings and weekends via telehealth.

I can help individuals, families, and children heal from traumatic experiences. I can help you with relationship issues. The most important relationship is the one with yourself. I have experience working with self-esteem issues, domestic violence, child neglect, child trauma, adult trauma, and sexual assault cases. I use Virginia Satir, cognitive behavioral, and choice theories. Using play therapy techniques (both child directed and Gestalt), I can help children age 2 and up. I have training in helping people of all ages with Downs Syndrome.

I became a therapist because of many different reasons but the most uncomplicated reason is - I love helping, challenging, being in relationship with and motivating people. I have numerous skills and abilities in meeting people where they are at and helping them move forward toward health and happiness. I have a very direct and focused energy which I use to help my clients achieve their goals.

I am currently accepting new clients. I am pleased and honored to have availability to assist more clients during these challenging times. I don't know if I am the right therapist for you, but we can find out together. I am compassionate and warm. I see the humanity, vulnerability and courage in all of us. Shame often prevents us from taking the steps that we need to take to be more aligned with our life paths. Together we can break down the obstacles that are preventing you from your full potential. Our work together will be about integration of self not the avoidance of our unwanted or wounded parts.

You realize you need help, but you’re not sure you or your kid is the sit-on-a-couch-and-talk-about-it type? Are you looking for results, change, and relief? Something different? Something worthwhile? If you’re struggling with explosive behaviors, arguments, aggression, extreme fears, attachment challenges, birth or medical trauma, nightmares, or flashbacks, I can help. The pain of depression, anxiety, loss, trauma, or social and academic pressure can be unbearable. If you have no idea how you found yourself here or know exactly what this is the result of, I'm confident that we can uncover strengths and come out the other side.

Compassion, respect and inclusion are the core values of my practice. Change hits us all differently, so therapy is not one-size-fits-all. My goal is to help you explore your authentic self, to develop the talents and strengths unique to your lived experience and navigate that change more effectively. "We must not allow other people's limited perceptions to define us." - Virginia Satir

Accepting New Clients! Telehealth Only...I specialize in working with LGBTQ, individuals, couples, and their families. Regardless of what brings you to therapy, I'm here to walk with you on your journey and help you be your true authentic self. I have focused on helping adolescents and adults with issues such as trauma, anxiety, mood instability, and conflictual relationships. My clients learn to communicate and build healthy relationships, as well as build self-esteem along the way.

Parenting can be one of the most rewarding experiences in life, but it can also be one of the most challenging. As new parents, we quickly learn how our babies communicate their needs. When kids get older however, they sometimes have difficulty expressing themselves effectively, resulting in behavior problems. Behavior is the language of unmet needs. Do you find yourself saying things like, “My child never listens”? Or things like, “My teen does not make healthy choices”? The way we handle misbehavior matters significantly. Our reactions can guide and teach or trigger increased difficulties at home. Therapy can help.

I find it humbling to work with clients willing to trust in me and the process and who have the courage it takes to open up about their deepest personal struggles.

We are all involved in a constant effort to balance our lives; to restore belief in our own power to face challenges that are sometimes overwhelming. We want someone to hear our story in a safe and non-judgmental space in order to gain fresh insight into our own abilities and to recover from the initial feelings of helplessness and confusion. Individualized guidance, can lead to the discovery of one’s own strengths and a gradual movement towards solutions that can be developed, in partnership, to restore that balance that we all strive to maintain when challenges leave us without answers, defeated and feeling powerless.

Life is full of both potential and possibility. As a therapist, I can help you find opportunities to revise the problem saturated stories, which you have come to accept in your life. I can help you find new ways to significantly reduce feelings of distress, better your relationships, and explore resolutions to your unique circumstances. I will help you discover new ideas, new outlooks and real solutions, to apply to each facet of your lives. This will allow you to live the life you were born to live.

Life has its way of dealing us difficult cards, but it doesn’t define us. I strive to bring an empathetic, collaborative, and nonjudgmental approach to counseling with individuals, teens, and kids. I get excited about helping others find their best path to a meaningful life. Combined with a solid educational background in Social Work and Addiction Treatment, I am well-equipped to help guide you towards the life you want. My mission is to empower you on a journey towards self-love and personal growth while fostering healthy relationships with yourself and those around you.

My goal for each client is to help them get un-stuck. Whether you are a teenager struggling with self-esteem and depression, an adult struggling with anxiety and negative self-talk seeping in from past relationships, or a family struggling with parenting issues, poor communication, problem behaviors, and environmental stressors, I believe my background and training are well suited to assist in positively affecting change. I have experience as both an inpatient and outpatient therapist and feel the combination of these two worlds gives me a unique set of skills to serve you.
