Relational Therapists in Las Vegas, NV

Let’s reveal the authentic YOU! I provide empathy, insight, and a direct, open-minded approach. Your feelings are valid and I will feel honored to explore them with you. Often, it is necessary to unravel past ties to create a well-adapted present. I love working with highly motivated clients and collaborating to uncover what has been getting in the way of living your desired life. Talking through your feelings and receiving an alternative viewpoint may be the most therapeutic of all. I am genuinely concerned and interested in your personal story and will provide support, guidance, and understanding throughout your wellness journey.

Do you have concerns that are getting in the way of having a satisfying sex life? Are you feeling disconnected from your partner? I understand how challenging it can be to seek help, but you don't have to navigate life alone. It is my goal to create a safe space where we can find solutions to relational and sexual difficulties that are impacting you. My therapeutic approach is gentle, authentic, and individually tailored to the needs of each client and relationship. By fostering trust and open communication, I assist clients in rebuilding a connection with themselves and others to promote a holistic sense of wellbeing.

Mental health and relational issues are just as essential as physical health, but oftentimes minimized and/or sometimes misunderstood. I would love to work with you as we explore and discover new ways to cope with life's challenges. I have been known to build positive connections with my clients; sometimes through humor and laughter and other times through empathy and compassion. I understand it can be difficult asking for help; however, reaching out for help is the first step to making a positive transformation in your life.

*Telehealth appointments available* I am a licensed psychologist specializing in individual, couples and family therapy. My areas of focus include eating disorders, personality disorders, depression, anxiety, relational issues and addictions. I have experience working with young adults, couples and families. I use a variety of modalities in my work, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy, RO-DBT, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I work closely with you to determine the appropriate treatment modality and to deliver effective and supportive treatment. Please note that I only see clients aged 18 and above

* NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS * My approach for treatment focuses your strengths and resources into creating changes that will help you structure a more rewarding and acceptable perspective on life. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I value the quality of interaction and emotional connection among individuals, and I do believe effective emotional connection is not possible in isolation but healthy interaction.

*Now accepting clients* When challenges occur, finding hope can seem impossible. The process of overcoming these challenges can feel difficult and overwhelming, but you do not have to go through it alone. I collaborate with my clients to find what works in therapy, and what does not work. My hope is that together we can create a safe, inviting space where you can feel understood and supported. My goal is to work with you to make sure that your goals for therapy are met, and I will adapt treatment to meet your individual needs.

Accepting New Clients through In person therapy only. I specialize in couple's, relational, and marriage therapy. Struggling to find peace and connection in a relationship can be very challenging. When things start getting out of control, it can feel very chaotic, confusing, and painful. I provide a system that can help you both understand and get to the answers you've been looking for by learning to get back on the same page. To understand and feel heard again.

Things in your life feel off, emotions overwhelm you daily, your relationships suffer, and nothing feels like it can change for the better. Taking action to get help feels hard but you know something needs to change. Therapy is an evidence-based approach that will get to the root of what's going on and allow for meaningful change.

I am a Clinical Psychologist licensed in Nevada and California with over 25 years of specialized education, training, and experience in providing psychological services to individuals, couples, groups, and organizations. I specialize in creating safe, supportive relationships in which individuals and couples are welcomed to embark upon their own unique adventures toward greater freedom, connection, and fulfillment.

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.

My practice supports authentic living. I hope to join with persons and offer my understanding of where they are. Such genuine contact encourages awareness of possibilities that otherwise remain just out of reach. Relationship is central; foundations of healthy relationships include trust, respect, honesty and risk-taking. Persons I sit with commonly say I am supportive and challenging, non-judgmental and honest. Persons with previous therapy experience say that our play together is "different" than their other therapy relationships, perhaps because I fundamentally believe persons are good and have inherent power to grow and change.

I strive to help every client find peace and an ability to cope through life's toughest challenges. I know each individual has their own unique life experience so I try to tailor my sessions according to their own specific needs. I enjoy working with clients of all ages and backgrounds, but I especially love working with couples and families as they navigate parenting, communication and other relational issues that can come up. I am also passionate about helping couples navigate the multitude of challenges that can come from trying to grow their family including infertility, pregnancy loss, and postpartum depression and anxiety.

As humans, we experience change. At times change is welcomed and at other times change can cause distress. As a relational therapist with advanced trainings in Gottman techniques, I work with couples in facilitating change which can have the potential to promote secure attachment and trusting relationship. Individual therapy looks a bit different, though we are still impacted by the relationships we experience in the cycle of life. From birth, relationships shape who we become, how we behave, and in how we see and experience the world. Therapy allows for the exploration of these lived-experiences and impact on us as individuals.

I utilize a relational approach to working with clients, which encompasses a variety of therapeutic practices to enhance client strengths and build upon areas requiring development.

If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, health issues, career blocks and feel overwhelmed...I can help! I can help you believe in yourself, embrace confidence and develop self-compassion. As a therapist, I enjoy creating safe environments, cultivating authentic relationships with clients and collaborating to bring about positive change. I am curious to learn about the environments that caused you to thrive and those in which you endured pain.

Feeling discouraged or stuck in life is something we all experience, whether it's in reaching personal goals, advancing in our careers, or nurturing relationships. It's natural to question if family dynamics or situations are holding us back from happiness and progress. Together, we can start breaking down these barriers, paving the way for a more productive, joyful, and peaceful life.

I believe that engaging in therapy is a courageous choice. Exploring our own stories can be terrifying if it brings up pain, heartache, or fear. Many of us spend years trying to find ways to escape these negative feelings only to feel even more stuck. Therapy offers us another choice-one that can move us through our experiences and into a place of hope where we can feel more peace and connection to ourselves and to others.

Experiencing stress from life transitions or chronic illness? Or are you a fellow therapist or medical provider?
