I had a psychology practice in Austin for 20 years, relocating to Albuquerque in 2012. As an outgrowth of my continuing work with clients from Texas, I have developed a specialty in providing internet therapy. My specialties include eating disorders, complex mood disorders, personality disorders, recovery from narcissistic abuse, and helping families with "failure to launch" young adults. I also provide consultation to parents who are struggling with an oppositional adolescent or an adult child with ongoing difficulties. I provide both therapeutic and forensic psychological evaluations.

I work with couples, families and individuals, to improve communication and to reduce conflict in their relationships. Perhaps you're navigating difficult life changes, that might include separation, divorce, infidelity, illness, aging, career change, regrets, retirement and/or the passing of a loved one. In therapy, you can explore these issues, without judgement, contemplate the changes you desire, and set a new path for your future. You may find my services to be especially helpful if you find yourself stuck in an unbalanced partnership with someone who is toxic or narcissistic. Life can be difficult, and therapy can help.

What is therapy? Across all stages of life, we are faced with struggles and challenges that can hold us back. Challenges can vary from everyday difficulties with focus & organization at school or work, to disordered eating, or even recovering from traumatic memories or abusive relationships - any of these can create frustration, isolation, anger at ourselves, and sadness. My favorite therapy related quote is by poet Nayyirah Waheed: “There is you and you. This is a relationship. This is the most important relationship.” Therapy is about investing time in learning how to tackle problems and how to be your biggest supporter.

I believe that we all experience trauma at some point in our lives whether we recognize it or not. Unaddressed and unprocessed trauma affects all aspects of our lives - school, work, parenting and relationships. Initially, my goal is to help individuals understand and identify trauma and how it impacts everyday living. As the therapeutic process continues, I will aid in creating new healthy pathways of thinking as well as how to react and respond to triggers that result from past traumatic events.

Narcissistic Emotional Abuse - Nothing makes sense anymore. Two plus two no longer equals four. I search, find nothing. I feel like I'm going 'crazy.' "You're imagining things! I might as well be doing it as you're always blaming me for something." BUT YET, I know they are doing the very thing they say they're not doing and I keep second guessing myself. I want a simple life, yet nothing is simple anymore. Everything is just plain CRAZINESS. If you can relate to any of these situations, you most likely are involved with a narcissist, are being emotionally abused and need help. Are you feeling hopeless, worthless, lost and confused?
