I have been in practice for many years and have been helping people manage many personal problems. I specialize in helping medical professionals. I believe in giving people respect, support and help in understanding life's challenges. Depression and anxiety are the most common problems I see, wrapped in the context of many life changes, disappointments and traumas. Feel free to ask about specific issues. Diagnoses - developed in order for mental health professionals to be included in insurance; they are averages, not personal identities. Diagnoses are over-used, in my opinion - they have some relevance - they don't define a person.
In my practice I specialize in helping medical professionals. Most folks have no idea the stress that doctors, nurses and others have to live with. Education and training are immensely stressful, even abusive. Fear of others' knowledge and opinions tend to keep alot of medical folks from seeking help. My clinical work is extremely private and confidential.
I'm often told that I'm more down to earth than therapists people have seen before. I'm very clear and direct in my communication style, as well as being friendly, warm and compassionate. I look for ways to help people achieve their full potential. I see clients who have "out-of-network" benefits with their insurance policies, call me with questions.

Each session, the same charge. I used to accept insurance; I was paid less the more experience I gained. It was a hard decision to stop accepting insurance. I can help you navigate insurance problems.

I like to help clients navigate cross-cultural issues. When I lived in eastern US, I often helped Black clients with many cultural issues. Over time since I moved to NM I have learned to respect and help Native Americans with the often very difficult issues facing them. Some of these issues are individual, some are familial and some are generational.

I like to get to know my clients and work together to find ways of improving life experience. I've learned quite a few therapy modalities and integrate them into my work. I don't believe in applying techniques, I'd rather get to know my clients and see what is helpful for them as individuals.
