Counseling and Psychotherapy in Las Vegas

About Me

Born in Southern CA and raised in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, I spent many years as a professional entertainer. I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology at UNLV while professionally dancing with Siegfried & Roy at the Mirage Hotel. After performing in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and internationally, I realized that people of different cultures and backgrounds, while different, share some similar issues and struggles. Because of my various experiences , I decided I wanted to become a counselor to assist people achieve inner strength, healing, growth, and improvement in their interpersonal relationships. With counseling and psychotherapy in Las Vegas I can help and encourage them to become who they really want to be.

I received my master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Phoenix Las Vegas, Nevada. When counseling with clients I try to visualize and understand how they view the world and work closely with them to help them achieve a healthy, happy and balanced life.
