Services Provided
Individual Counseling
Individuals may seek counseling for a number of concerns. I work with individual clients facing a variety of challenges including: anxiety, depression, stress, adjustment to life changes, grief & loss, trauma, behavioral/sexual addictions, decision-making, relationships, and so forth. Individual therapy has helped many of my clients overcome difficult challenges and have happier and healthier lives.
Marriage/Couples Counseling
Sometimes people who care for each other encounter difficulties in their ability to communicate or resolve conflict in their relationship. Couples also might feel a loss of closeness or connection with each other. Couples counseling can help improve communication, understanding, and relationship quality, particularly when couples attend together. In addition to helping couples improve the quality of their marriage, I have experience working with couples who are dealing with significant disruptions in their relationship cause by trials such as infidelity, sickness, and other life-changing events. Counseling can also be very beneficial for couples contemplating marriage or adjusting to marriage/remarriage.
Family Counseling
Parents and families face a variety of problems in the world today. Parents may have concern with a child's behavior or emotional well-being. They may be struggling with parenting difficulties or the relationships they have with their kids. Blended families and step-parents often struggle with new roles and relationships. I've worked with a wide variety of family challenges and have helped parents and children make important changes in their lives and improve their relationships with each other.
Marriage/Couple Checkup
Whether you are facing challenges as a couple or are getting along well, it can be very beneficial to take the pulse of your relationship and identify ways in which you can grow as a couple. A Marriage/Couple Checkup is a 2-session package in which you receive a comprehensive relationship assessment, detailed feedback regarding the strengths and areas of improvement in your relationship, and concrete ideas about how to strengthen your marriage. See Marriage Checkup for specific details.
Presentations and Workshops:
I offer group presentations and workshops on a variety of topics related to individual and relationship well-being. Past presentations include stress management, depression, dating, preparation for marriage, marriage enrichment, interpersonal communication, conflict resolution, parenting, and solving interpersonal problems in the workplace. I've been invited to present to professional organizations, religious groups, clergy, social groups, and youth groups. Please contact me if you are looking for a speaker or presentation for your organization.
Therapy Sessions:
Sessions typically last 45-50 minutes and begin on the hour. Back-to-back sessions (100 minutes) are also available upon request.
Hours:
I see clients only on Fridays during the hours of 8:00am-6:00pm.
Scheduling an appointment:
Please contact me by email or phone at (702) 380-3290 to schedule an appointment or if you have any questions about the services I offer. My schedule tends to fill up quickly, but I usually have 1-2 openings each week as current clients finish their work with me.
Therapeutic Fit
Having a good fit with your therapist is critical to the success of therapy. In fact, research consistently indicates that a good therapeutic relationship is strongly connected with positive results in therapy. A good therapeutic relationship involves 1) clients feeling comfortable with the therapist, and 2) a therapist whose expertise matches the clients' needs. In the first session we will discuss what your needs are and what you would like to get from counseling. If am not able to help you with your concerns, I will provide you with the names of local therapists who might better meet your needs.
Positive Change in Counseling
Positive change in therapy is directly related to the efforts of clients. In order to help clients make progress toward their goals and desired outcomes, I often supplement the counseling sessions by having clients read relevant articles outside of therapy. Please click on Client Resources for a list of helpful articles and handouts.
