We often have a sense that in some ways, somehow we have been holding back. The barriers hidden behind cost us in our capacity for intimacy, spontaneity, and precious space for the heart's need to express and to be seen. They are usually constructed for very good reasons; to avoid painful experiences and vulnerability. But more often than not, carry on decades beyond when the threatening events have past. Defenses, beliefs, and the wounds that shut us down developed around people. The healing can happen when we feel safety again. Not surprisingly, this needs to happen with people too.

I have successfully worked with individual adults, adolescents, couples, parents and children in Santa Fe since 1994. I am deeply respectful of people who seek me out. I am a keen listener and creatively solutions-oriented. My priority is to build a safe space to explore moods, feelings, anxieties, worries, thoughts and thought patterns, relationships and relationship patterns and a wide spectrum of traumatic life experiences that leave their mark on us. Things that are initially difficult to talk about air out and resolve in this collaborative space.

I am happy to offer in-person and HIPAA compliant Telehealth for clients. I am a family, couple, individual, and youth therapist who provides a safe environment for helping people. I help those who are seeking a more resilient life and stronger connection in relationships. Sometimes we struggle and need a helping hand to move through Anxiety, Depression, Grief, Family Conflict, Relationship Dynamics, Education, Career or a Life Change. I provide therapy using a strength-based approach with the belief that everyone has the ability to find change.

Your intimate relationship can be one of the most important sources of joy, satisfaction and fulfillment in your life. However, issues may arise which upset that original harmony, and if left unaddressed, lead to a negative pattern of quarreling, difficult communication, and a loss of connection, trust and intimacy. In some cases, this negative spiral can further lead to depression, substance/behavioral addictions, or even an affair. I can provide you with the effective tools for identifying, addressing and resolving those challenging issues, and help you co-create a renewed sense of connection, intimacy and sacred partnership.

My work with individuals and families is grounded in helping to support the ever-changing process of growing, learning and finding a meaningful place within a family and the larger community. The challenges we face in an accelerated global culture seem extraordinarily complex for many of us who can often find ourselves overwhelmed with the demands of a non-stop, technology-driven lifestyle with unrealistic expectations. Slowing down long enough to to give needed attention to our priorities and goals can be difficult, but I'm confident that with some reflection and support we can find grounding and clarity as a path towards wellness.

I start from the idea that we are all spiritual beings having a human experience and it’s this humanness that presents us with both unlimited abundance and challenges. Life can be complex and full at any age and most everyone is confronting an element of transition or change daily. Change, as we have all heard at one time or another, is the only constant in life. I believe we are motivated to change and evolve in life, that the Universe is nudging us to live more fully, with greater presence and gratitude. While the process of growth may not be necessarily simple, it is attainable to all of us.

Are you navigating a difficult transition? Feeling stuck in a family, work, or relationship issue? Is anxiety, stress, grief, anger or depression keeping you from living the life you want? Do you like the idea of working in person and outdoors? I work with those who aspire to grow, especially those who love nature. My holistic approach incorporates body, mind, spirit, and nature. I help you connect to your body and to nature in a way that illuminates the brilliant core essence of who you are.

I take a holistic approach to the transformational and healing process. I offer the opportunity to explore personal growth through the mind, body, and spirit. I use mindfulness practices to guide individuals and families through relationship challenges, grieving difficulties, and issues related to substance abuse, trauma, and other life stressors.

I work extremely well with clients who are motivated to change their lives. Often, our greatest challenges come during times of major life transitions. Through active listening and genuine empathy, I help my clients focus upon the inherent solutions to their most pressing problems. Motivation to change comes with the willingness to look closely and investigate the stories we tell ourselves. Often, I discover with my clients that their oldest and most damaging internal stories are simply not true. By having a fellow human who is open and fully present witness our lives, we can discover the very real possibility for greater health and happiness.

I see a range of clients with depression, anxiety, and dissatisfaction with adjustment to their daily lives and/ or specific situations, who hope to move through these difficulties and experience fulfilling and satisfying lives.

I work with people who are struggling with feeling overwhelmed, and they may be experiencing anxiety or depression, or feelings of low self esteem or hopelessness and are searching for meaning and purpose, to make sense of their lives and their world and their place in it. They may want to improve how they communicate with others and themselves by learning to challenge and change negative and destructive thought and behavioral patterns. As social creatures we want and need to be heard and seen, to be validated and accepted!

I enjoy working and developing a therapeutic relationship with people that are struggling in their life whether it's with depression, anger, trauma, anxiety, relationships or even a sense that something needs to change. It's within that struggle that the spark of hope resides and I see it as my job to help people focus on their future, their strengths and successes and then begin to rediscover the hope and power to begin to shape their future and their lives.

Sometimes life events and experiences interfere with our ability to make sense of the world and find our place in it. We may lose our sense of safety and control and become flooded with overwhelming thoughts and emotions. Whether you’re feeling isolated, lonely, frustrated, fearful or confused, it is possible to emerge courageous and hopeful.

I love working through challenging situations with people and I have found that most issues can be resolved over the course of a few weeks or months. My sessions are usually about 70 minutes because that's how long a complete and satisfying discussion takes. I don't intend to see you for nearly as long or as often as you think, and you might be surprised at the range of things I want to talk about. Your life is a lot more than your presenting complaint.

​Desperately wrestling the couch cushions into a configuration that won’t kill your back, you finally break down into helpless tears. Your marriage is in tatters and you’re hanging on by a thread. Between your children and your careers, you’ve had nothing left for each other. It feels like you’ve forgotten how to enjoy one another’s company. You feel like a stranger in your own home. It’s either constant bickering or frigid silence. Getting older, you realize you don’t have the energy for either – and this couch brutalizing your spine. You’d do anything to get your best friend back. You need help before this distance grows too great

I am deeply committed to helping couples and individuals understand the pitfalls to open and honest communication in their relationships. My clients are typically evolving in a psychospiritual and holistic realm -- and yet are facing challenges in their everday relationships. As a result, they are equally committed to cultivating an awareness of their thoughts, feelings and habits. My clients often find the "tools" and build new "brain cells" for both present and future change. I always emphasize the folowing equation: KNOWLEDGE ("tools" and new "brain cells") + EXPERIENCE = CHANGE!
