Therapists in Las Vegas, NV

My overall goal in therapy is to help individuals to feel empowered in their unique identities while they move toward a fulfilling life based on their personal values. Among my own top values are connection, flexibility, adventure, integrity, and openness. I believe these values are what initially drew me to this work and I endeavor to incorporate them into everything that I do. For this reason, I try to be fully myself in therapy and invite my clients to do the same as we collaborate in challenging their eating disorders and other mental health struggles.

Self love is an important aspect of all human beings to reach their quality world. In order to seek full satisfaction, we must gain control of our 5 basic human needs; power, fun, survival, freedom, and the most important, love and belonging. Only then, a genuine sense of satisfaction can be developed based off the work and effort YOU put into your journey of healing. Trust the process. Your time is coming. Just do the work and the results will handle themselves.

As a clinician I aim to foster healthy connections with clients through a welcoming, warm, direct, and accepting approach shaped by the client's needs. I pride myself on treating clients with compassion, admiration, and understanding. My focus on developing a trusting, open, and honest communication in the therapeutic relationship is focused on assisting clients to achieve their individualized objectives to capitalize on their fullest potential.

Experiencing trauma has a widespread impact on the lives of the clients we serve. Trauma can lead to or exacerbate mental illness, substance use, physical health conditions, and chronic disease. Thrive Behavioral Health and Trauma Centers offer an integrated, whole health system of care. Our goal is to provide evidence-based trauma treatments that address the impact of trauma (e.g., complex PTSD, PTSD, Covid-19 related trauma).

I am a licensed Couple and Family Therapist Intern at Beyond Therapy. I chose this career because I love helping people with their mental health struggles, and love being part of their healing journey. I view people from a holistic perspective. I also acknowledge and appreciate the client’s cultural and ethnic background, because I believe understanding this is important. I am extremely passionate about helping people process grief(dying of a loved one, life transitions, etc.) and helping individuals, couples, and families from diverse cultural backgrounds who suffer from chronic and/or terminal illnesses.

Pull up a seat, let's chat for a minute. I'm glad you are here! This is a great start to finding the healing and growth you are looking for in your life and relationships. You may be wondering if therapy is right for you if you really need to go talk to a stranger about your innermost thoughts, feelings, and experiences. The truth is most everyone can benefit from having, at the very least, a sounding board, and at the most, a non-judgmental clinician who can assist you in moving through the stuckness you may be experiencing in your life.

Accepting New Clients. I work with individuals that are motivated by a desire for personal growth, self-fulfillment, and a deeper understanding of themselves, all with the overarching goal of living a happier and more content life.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. Are you a survivor of Trauma? Have you tried talk therapy only to find that your symptoms are not alleviated to the level you would like? Many people believe they will never feel better because trauma symptoms can be difficult to deal with. Family, work and your social life are impacted when you are struggling. I specialize in trauma psychotherapy and through my years of therapeutic experience, I have helped clients improve. Making the decision to work with a therapist can be one of the most rewarding decisions you make as you you will learn how to overcome your trauma past.

My ideal client seeks self-exploration & understanding, facing issues like anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties. They need a supportive space for personal growth, aiming to gain insight, develop coping strategies, improve communication, & foster healthy relationships. They aspire to enhance mental well-being, achieve a better life quality, & unlock their full potential.

My therapeutic approach is holistic, human, and individually tailored to meet the needs of clients in their current situations. As a therapist, I am a down-to-earth person who sees myself as equal to my clients, sharing a non-judgmental space to promote and honor personal growth and healing. I work with a large variety of relational issues related to transitional life experiences, as well as common mental health concerns and diagnoses. I have significant experience in sex therapy and relational issues, as well as working with non-traditional/chosen families and diverse populations. I served as a faculty member in the UNLV Couple and Family Therapy Program for the past decade supervising interns and teaching sex therapy, sexuality, and diversity. Consequently, I have enjoyed many years of working with trans, non-binary, poly, and related communities. I am passionate about working with all couple and family dynamics as well as desired individual growth in your specific context.

I pride myself on maintaining a professional, albeit laid-back environment for my patients. From day one I am very clear that therapy should be a comfortable place one wants to be as opposed to place they must be. I love what I do and work very hard to be the best support I can be for everyone who comes into my office. I have extensive experience over the last 11 years at all levels of mental health including inpatient psych, residential treatment, intensive outpatient, supervising post-grad interns towards licensure, and private practice working with adults, teens, couples, and first responders (Police, Fire, EMT, & Military).

Are you experiencing stress from life transitions or chronic illness? Or are you a fellow therapist or medical provider? Stress can come from life, family, social identities, society/culture, trauma and/or relationships. It can make it harder to cope, connect with people, increase anxiety, and make ourselves unrecognizable. Healing from stress and anxiety is mental, emotional, physical, relational, and spiritual. My work as a therapist is to promote holistic healing, build insight, help you strengthen your important relationships, and build the life you want. I can help, and I have immediate openings for residents in NV and NC!
