Sometimes life presents us with challenges that we never dreamed of facing. Or those whom we thought would always be there are not. You have the answers, but may need help finding them. Isn’t it time to come home to yourself?

I will work with you to help you set and achieve authentic, realistic, and personally significant goals. My services are non-judgmental, attachment-based and trauma informed. I encourage personal awareness and self-honesty to help you heal, grow, and live authentically.

Approach

I strive to provide a safe environment for all clients, respect for their personal values, unconditional positive regard, and mutual collaboration. I work with adults over age 25 and couples.

In my practice I have found that each individual or couple has a unique set of issues and responds more effectively when treatment is tailored to their needs.

My approach is to listen carefully to understand the issues presented and then apply specific modalities and interventions. I have found Mindfulness - a philosophy and practice that encourages and supports an accepting and nonjudgmental focus on emotions, thoughts, and sensations in the present moment - to be extremely helpful.

Services

I provide psychological counseling in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Las Cruces and greater New Mexico to adults over the age of 25 and couples via Telehealth. My services are tailored to clients' needs and cover a range of issues, including:

Adult Counseling

Using attachment-based and trauma informed lenses, I employ various treatment orientations, including:

Emotionally Focused Therapy
Existential
Humanistic
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)
IFS (Internal Family Systems)
Person-Centered
Psychodynamic

Couples Counseling

I work with couples, employing techniques of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help rebuild and improve the relationship. I help partners move away from defending their stance or viewpoint or proving themselves right. We aim to identify and heal past and present emotional wounds that are negatively affecting the integrity of the relationship.

Partners examine what they bring to the relationship and learn how their speech and behavior affects the other. They take responsibility for their part and then take necessary steps to reestablish an intimate bond, creating a new dynamic of trusting connection.

During the first visit, you will have the opportunity to tell me your reason for seeking counseling and we can talk about your counseling goals. For the first one to three sessions, I will be asking you about your life and asking you questions to get a biopsychosocial history. This provides me with the background to make a diagnosis and to guide future sessions toward the desired goals.

Duration of therapy depends on many aspects, including but not limited to your goals, how well treatment is received, frequency of counseling sessions, external factors, and unforeseen circumstances. Sessions are normally scheduled once a week.

If you are unable to keep your appointment, please give a 24-hour notice to avoid the late cancellation fee.
