Structural Family Therapy in Las Vegas, NV

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.

Are you fearful about pregnancy, birth or motherhood? Is this season of motherhood not what you envisioned? Are you struggling to keep it together as a mom? *You are not alone* Maternal Minds Counseling can help.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy treatment that was designed to alleviate the distress.

I believe individuals come to therapy with concerns that have become problematic to their lives. However we were raised, along the way, we picked up traits that grew along with us, and manifested themselves in our everyday living; traits, such as abandonment, mistrust, defectiveness, vulnerable to harm/illness, entitlement, unrelenting standards/hypercritical, and dependence. I believe these traits hide in plain sight. Individuals will come to therapy looking to relieve themselves of moments, or situations, only to find these traits, disguised as their concerns. It is up to our work together to find a way to overcome these traits.

There are times when everyone feels like their struggles are too big for them to handle alone. When people feel unheard, unmotivated, overwhelmed, discarded, or misunderstood, it can be difficult to ask for help. Seeking therapy can be a big step, so I want you to know that my goal is to make clients feel comfortable enough to work on their issues, large or small. These issues could seem simple to outsiders; like procrastination, low self-esteem, or being unhappy in your current situation. However, in therapy I offer a nonjudgmental space where you and I can work together to figure it all out and to work toward YOUR goals.
