Therapists in Albuquerque, NM

Proud to be a Trans-Identified Provider serving the Transgender and Gender-Expansive community in Albuquerque and the surrounding areas. I am a clinical social worker specializing in mental/behavioral health. I incorporate my knowledge of Traditional Medicine and Clinical Social Work to provide a holistic approach to each individual I work with. As a trans-identified provider, I strive to create more access and choices for my LGBQ and Trans family to help eliminate any barriers associated with care. My extensive 10+ years in the field lends well to serving all person seeking therapy, not just LGBTQ clients!!

I care deeply about the relationship I establish with the people who come to see me in therapy. I work hard to provide clients with a safe and non-judgmental environment, in which they can feel comfortable being themselves. I know life can be difficult, but I truly believe that we all have the ability to live a healthy and fulfilling life. Knowing where to begin can be challenging , and that is what I am here for. I always work to meet clients where they are, and create a treatment plan based on their specific needs.

Maybe it's time to get the support and compassionate care you want, need and deserve! Feeling anxious, depressed or dealing with loss, grief, trauma or transition? Perhaps you've just been feeling a little down or disconnected from yourself or a primary relationship. Are you wanting to heal on deeper levels?

Hello and welcome- Maybe you've thought about what it would be like to talk to a counselor, and you're unsure about the process. You have been in therapy before, and really want to reconnect with a counselor who will be an empathetic supportive listener. Maybe life has given you some recent and intense situations: ongoing pandemic; want to support your child's needs; a divorce; becoming a parent; possibly even suffering depression/anxiety. Right now you are looking for relief, and to simply be alright day to day. You want it to be better, but aren't exactly sure how to get there.

"Attachment" ..... just more psychobabble, right? Well, no, not really. Since the 1950's, people have been interested in what "attachment" means when we're thinking about how to have relationships, of all kinds. Our very first relationship(s) are the ones that really form a foundation for our ability to relate to others, so the theory goes. Only now, there's a lot more research using brain-imaging techniques that help us "shrinks" know we're on the right track when thinking about attachment as an important part of helping people learn how to develop, maintain and thrive in relationships.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, addiction, being your authentic self that affects your day-to-day life, relationships, ability to function, your work, career? Do you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, frustrated, lost, by what it means to live up to someone elseʼs standards, just getting through the day, the thought that thereʼs no light at the end of the tunnel? Do you wonder, hope that life could be better? Now more than ever people are feeling anxious and overwhelmed. Uncertain about finding their balance and sense of self.

Currently taking new clients. Flexible w/ schedules if needed. The majority of my clients range from the age of 5 to 13 years of age. Many of them come to me with high anxiety, lots of pressure from school and home, depression, lack of self control and sense of self. At the end of the day, they ultimately need someone who will listen to them and try to guide them in a positive direction. The ultimate goal for these clients is to provide tools to guide them to build themselves up, encourage them to create and use the coping skills that they identify as well as remind them to be gentle with themselves and to always try their best.

I am accepting new clients! I work in partnership with clients and together identify your goals for therapy. Most importantly, we will identify your strengths; explore what is working well and establish what you want to be different in your life. We will cultivate a plan to accomplish the goals that you set forth for positive change. I define my principal approach to counseling as Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness based, Positive Psychology, Trauma Informed, Client-centered, Narrative (Talk) Therapy, while I also enjoy the practical nature of Brief, Solution-Focused Therapy.

I am a mindfulness--centered psychotherapist and have worked very successfully with anxiety, OCD, addiction (alcohol, marijuana, vaping, shopping), panic, trauma, depression, phobias, impulse control issues, stress and other issues of suffering. Mindfulness-centered therapy works remarkably well even with the most difficult to treat issues. It addresses the root cause of emotional suffering, bringing you to a place of lasting inner peace and contentment. It will help you to deal successfully with the triggers that life continuously presents to you. To view my video and written testimonials, click on the website box above.
