I believe no one lives in a vacuum. That's why I'll be asking about you and your relationships with family and friends. Your children don't live in a vacuum, either. In working with them, you'll be included in parts or all of their sessions. My practice is called the Rio Rancho Family Counseling Center. When you're seeing me alone or as a couple, you determine when and what problems to talk about and how fast and how deep we go. I draw on several methods of therapy because my practice is patient oriented and patient directed.

When words aren't enough. Whether the client is a child, a teen, an adult or a family, I find offering non-verbal therapies, expressive therapies such as art therapy and Sandplay often enhances my client's ability to solve problems, enable expression of feelings, and communicate with self and others. I have been a registered art therapist for many years and in the last twenty I have expanded that base by becoming a Certified Teaching member of the Sandplay Therapists of America.

My experiences as a military dependent, 9 year military veteran (Air Force 3 years and USMCR 6 years) and an Army Spouse for almost 16 years, has given me the experience needed to relate to the unique needs/lifestyle of the military family.
As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LPCC) and military veteran, my focus is to serve other military veterans and their families. Although serving the military community is my primary focus, I am certainly open and available to others seeking guidance and support. Whether you are dealing with the stress of a recent deployment, transitioning out of the military, having separation anxiety, communication/relationship issues, or dealing with PTSD, there is no need to navigate these life struggles on your own. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness and counseling can help.

Family crises, growing careers, and developing children demand new skills.
I provide individual psychotherapy, couples counseling, and career guidance. Individual psychotherapy offers the chance to solve problems and chart new directions in life. You can free yourself from restrictive patterns of the past, develop emotional balance in the present, and enjoy new growth possibilities for the future. In psychotherapy, these goals come within reach through the conscious examination of life patterns. They come to realization through the careful encouragement of human potential. As you develop a subtler awareness of your own thoughts, emotions, and communication patterns, you can learn to change your life.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
