Family Therapy in Nevada

Perhaps the previous methods of coping are not working. Maybe the words and ability to express those emotions are challenging and unnerving. Maybe life has forced a new role and now self identity/worth are being challenged. Therapy can be the tool to learn to be independent, autonomous, confident and self sufficient. To live a life where it is comfortable in setting boundaries, to live in your truth and learn the tools for self acceptance or the freedom of releasing the hold of what has been emotionally restrictive. All while learning to face those parts of ourselves that create shame, pain and discomfort in a space that is safe.

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!
