About
Hi there! I’m Alesha, Marriage and Family Therapist.
I grew up in the desert of Las Vegas, and have such a love for this valley. I got my undergraduate degree in Idaho and my masters degree was completed back in Vegas. I have always been interested in helping others through different life experiences and this job has brought me such joy. I can talk for hours about trauma (seeing as its something I specialize in), and I love helping my clients feel as if they can find peace from negative beliefs and trauma.
I have a therapy dog, Woods, aka my soul dog. I love him and think he is as in tune to emotions as I can be at times. He is 40 pounds of fluffy cuteness, and melts everyone’s hearts. He is currently being trained to respond to anxiety and PTSD symptoms in others.
I can accurately say that I have a few hobbies, but more have been started and unfinished that I like to admit (hehem… adhd) 🙂 I love floral design, watching shows with friends and family, going to concerts, reading, paddle boarding and art.

What I do
I have always been the type of person that has loved listening to people, so it was no surprise to anyone that I ended up in this profession. I love helping people help themselves and find joy in seeing people heal from their trauma. I am a huge advocate of self love and really focus my practice on healing through empowerment and self worth.
I have a therapeutic outlook based in trauma and love to help my clients by using visualizations that help us connect to ourselves in a way that promotes self worth and confidence. I also try to bring in metaphors, art and music therapy when wanted to help connect us to deeper rooted emotions that may be hard to put into words at times.
