Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in Las Vegas, NV

Individuals experience numerous events that leave lasting impacts, whether good or bad. Finding someone to talk to can be a struggle because we may feel we will be judged or seen as incapable of dealing with events. Depression, anxiety, anger, trauma, and communicating feelings can be difficult topics to discuss in a non-formal setting. By not having an open discussion about such topics, our lives can take a toll and spiral down at times. Mental health is an aspect of life that often gets overlooked in many communities, and taking the initiative to talk to a therapist is the first step to a well-balanced life.

You see several struggles in reading, writing, organization, forgetting things learned, making the same mistakes over and over again? Do you wonder if your child needs IEP/504 or gifted education?

Too many of us keep our issues hidden and secret for too long. We are not sure where to turn or what the future holds. Stress, anxiety, depression, and existential angst often hold us back from living our best lives. My goal and my passion is to develop a therapeutic relationship with each and every client as an individual. I believe that it is important to focus on the “here and now” and to use the therapeutic relationship to help you grow, be more open and vulnerable in the relationships that you cherish, and to help you live lives consistent with your dreams, aspirations, and values.

In life, we sometimes question the nature of our experiences and how these experiences have shaped us into the person we are today. During these moments of questioning, feelings of doubt, confusion, and other emotions may build upon one another to create the sense of "not knowing" oneself. It is in these times, we may feel as if we are alone in these experiences. The gift in therapy is to know that you are not alone in these experiences. The therapeutic relationship, through valuing, listening, and understanding can provide appreciation to the questions that we sometimes ask of ourselves.

I believe that people have limitless potential that we barely even tap into. My goal is to assist my clients in identifying theirs, create goals and help them reach those goals in order to move on with confidence and peace.
