Gottman Method therapists in Nevada

Hello! Thank you for taking those first steps toward a better version of yourself. My practice focuses on a cognitive behavioral approach to therapy. This means that I help my client's identify where there are distortions in their thought process. We work together to restructure their thinking and set up systems for a more balanced life. I specialize in anxiety based disorders including OCD, PTSD, Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Panic Disorder.  

Many of my clients beat themselves up after challenging days, have increased anxiety, and a lingering sense of self-criticism over minor mistakes. They constantly replay alternative scenarios which end up becoming an incessant loop, persisting for days or even weeks. Frustration grows as they struggle to shake off this self-critical mindset, fostering thoughts of inadequacy and impostor syndrome. Worries about disappointing others both professionally and personally contributes to exhaustion daily. Despite attempts by friends and family to offer support, the feeling of being truly understood remains elusive, deepening the overall sense of fatigue. If you aspire to regain a sense of engagement in your life, pursue excellence in your career and personal life, experience love and support, and better manage stress and anxiety, these goals can be well within reach. I collaborate with my clients in helping understand the driving forces behind their pursuit of achievement and instilling hope in the possibility of change. Together, we craft solutions that sustain high performance while transforming the self-critical inner dialogue into one of support. I assist my clients learn a set of tools designed to temper self-criticism and manage anxiety, paving the way to a more calmer and focused life. If maintaining peak performance while navigating heightened anxiety and silencing that inner critic resonate with you, reach out for a complementary 15 minute session. Prior to transitioning into private practice, I spent over a decade as a tenured professor. Throughout this time, my research delved into perfectionism, anxiety, and stress management. I am enthusiastic about helping clients learn the knowledge and insights gained from this experience to guide you toward a more fulfilling, balanced life.  

Currently accepting new patients from California and Nevada! I offer solutions at the source -- Get to the root of problems, learn practical skills to manage them, and plant new seeds to a better life!
