Looks like you're considering making some changes. Maybe it's the anxiety running quietly in the background, traumatic pain you've been carrying, inescapable fears, or the gradual realization that the life you built doesn't quite fit you anymore. I'm a doctoral-level therapist with over fifteen years of experience working with adults and teens seeking a focused experience of growth and change. I use cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, evidence-based trauma treatment (PE), and existential psychotherapy to help people stop managing and resume living fully. I see clients virtually throughout New Mexico.
I help adults working through anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, phobias, ADHD, and the life transitions that don't come with a manual: career upheaval, relationship strain, midlife recalibration. I work with a few selected couples. If you're capable and driven but something isn't working, let's set up a consultation and see what's possible.
I don't do what I call aimless "chit chat" therapy. My work is quietly structured, direct, and built around what generates the change you desire. Doctoral training and experience have taught me what works; clients reliably say my sessions feel very different and more effective than past attempts with therapy. Contact me for a free, brief consultation.

I treat a variety of disorders and difficulties. I really enjoy treating anxiety, phobias, and PTSD because (with the right treatment model) the results are often life-changing. I also work with ADHD using MBCT and related treatments. I am increasingly working with men navigating stage of life and existential challenges (though note that some of this might not be covered by insurance).

For anxiety and related disorders I often use structured mindfulness-based interventions. For depression I often use cognitive behavioral therapy. For PTSD I offer prolonged exposure therapy.
