LCSW, 40 years of experience
With more than 40 years experience in the mental health field, I have served the Las Vegas Valley Community since 2004, specializing in unique stress management solutions for adults of all ages. I offer a variety of techniques to enhance self awareness and empower people to take charge of their mental and physical health. I am now offering both in-office and virtual sessions by appointment only. I use a wide variety of tools including neurofeedback to help you quiet your mind and pay better attention, reduce symptoms of fight or flight & muscle tension & better understand what triggers panic, anxiety & feelings of helplessness. As we make our way post COVID, I can help you sort thru feelings of trauma, loss & anger left behind.
In our first session, clients can expect conversation free of psychobabble focused on straightforward conversation assessing what you feel you should work on. We'll talk about your experiences with therapy in the past if you've been in therapy before- what went right and what went wrong. Then we'll establish a starting point that feels do-able and go from there.
What makes me unique is my down to earth presentation and my life experience. I'm 71 anhave been doing this for been doing this for many, many years. I'm an out of the box thinker, with a wierdly twisted sense of humor but an uncanny way of helping to cut through to the heart of a problem with insight and practical tools. My focus on mind body solutions and neurofeedback interventions has been well received and appreciated with 5.0 ratings only on both Psychology Today and Healthgrades.com.

It was amazing to meet someone who listened and really understood what I had to say. Provided insight that I hadn’t considered or realized before and feels like they’ll genuinely help.
