Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in 89106

I began my career as a therapist in 2012 working in a community based setting with children and adolescents in the northern Chicago area. In 2015, I moved to Las Vegas and began working with diverse age groups. I provide therapeutic services to children, adolescents, adults, and geriatrics. I have experience working with individuals, families, and couples. I complete mental health assessments, treatment planning, therapy sessions, and discharge planning. I am dedicated to providing confidential and ethical mental health services to all clientele regardless of background and/or life experience.

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.

Sometimes our lives get out of balance. Life throws more on our plate than we believe we can handle and our ability to cope starts to deteriorate. You're willing to work, but it may be difficult to find your way out of the box you feel trapped in. When you're in crisis, you don't want to wait for services and you certainly don't want to feel like just another number in line. You want help right away so you can get on with your life. My commitment is to provide that quality of care in a timely manner.

Life’s challenges sometimes have you feeling like you will not make it. Are you having a hard time coping with feelings of anxiety and/or depression? Often, the hardest place to be is feeling stuck and yet helpless to change your situation. Starting a new chapter requires you to identify the challenges in your life. The question is, are you willing to accept change.

Everyone has a sense of personal identify. How do you think about yourself? What is important to you? Identities are often imposed or at the very least encouraged by environmental or cultural forces. As a child, were you routinely told, "You can do it!,” or were you more often told; “You can’t do anything right?” The things we hear as children are usually the very things that create our sense of self. Early in life, sense of self is associated with security, protection, and acceptance. If our identity is strongly developed in the early years of life, this helps to protect us against the challenges in life.

I am particularly interested in clients that are open to cultivating the garden of their life. Our life can represent a garden; in any garden there are beautiful flowers and unfortunately there are thorns and thistles. My client must be willing to smell the aroma of the flowers as we travel through the thorns and thistles of the garden life also.

As a therapist I have learned every client is unique in their experiences. Their sense of themselves, their outlook on life, needs and expectations are individualized and no single method or theory is helpful to everyone. I approach each client and session with an open mind, and self awareness while exploring with the client what was, what is, and what can be.

Today, is the day that you choose YOU! Allow me to join, support, and guide you along your journey to finding peace, tranquility, happiness, and alignment with the version of yourself that you want to become! My mission as a clinician, is to reduce the stigma associated with mental health and it is through your commitment and the therapeutic relationship that change can happen.

Do you feel alone or stuck? Do you feel like you may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety or depression? Sometimes we reach a point in life when we need to talk to someone to help us process our feelings to help us navigate through life's challenges. Those challenges may be grief, trauma, a difficult relationship or low self esteem. As your therapist, I am here to provide support, a listening ear and my clinical expertise to help you reach your fullest potential. I want to help you grow and develop the coping skills you need to help you manage difficult emotions and overcome barriers so you can achieve the happiness you deserve.
