Art Therapy in Albuquerque, NM

If you are a big talker that is great, but if you are not a big talker that is okay too! I am creative in facilitating the client's therapeutic need to express themself in their healing journey. I believe in giving the client tools to navigate what is going on in your life. Tools such as CBT, DBT, mindfulness and psycho-education interventions that will help you learn strategies to reframe distorted thoughts , understand and name emotions and understand how it is linked to unwanted behaviors. I invite you to collaborate with me to find your voice, your truth, freedom and a more peaceful and joyful self.

I enjoy working with children, teenagers, and adults who have a desire to make changes in their lives. I enjoy helping people heal and process their emotions. My ideal client will make progress at their own pace. I love building relationships and connecting people with providers in the community that may be able to facilitate further healing.

I personally have ADHD and feel like my experience helps me provide insight into what clients with ADHD struggle with. I also have experience helping clients with trauma, anxiety, and depression.

Non-judgment and compassion are central to my professional belief system, as well as my personal one. As a counselor, I focus on creating a safe and trusting environment within the therapy room. I aim to create a space where, if just for an hour, a client can take off their armor and feel truly seen and understood. While I cater my treatment style to each client based on their own specific needs, I tend to incorporate Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Humanistic Therapy, and Art Therapy approaches most often.

I'd like to help you set your best self free. Through mental health counseling, art therapy , sand tray, mindfulness, visualization, and transpersonal therapy, we will work together to address the important concerns in your life. I am strength-based, compassionate, empowering, and focused on you.

For an appointment, call me at 505-492-5128.

I am person centered, focusing on building relationship & meeting you where you are in the moment. I work to create an emotionally safe environment, free of judgment, supporting your strengths & helping you develop insight, understanding, & belief in your ability to help yourself. Our focus in therapy is on using body-based, expressive strategies, mindfulness & meditation for stress reduction, building emotional safety, developing coping strategies, identifying issues in present time, identifying strengths & embodied intelligence, & shifting old patterns of thought & behavior that are getting in the way of living your best life.

You've come here looking for change. With this desire, you already carry hopes and strengths which hold the keys to the solutions you are seeking. Working with you, I will be honored to witness your blooming personality, unending motivation, and desire to grow! Our focus in therapy will be to start from the ground up, because strong foundations make rock steady lives, and identifying structures, behaviors and patterns is a great way to focus on personal development and goals. Together, we will work to identify symptoms and overcome obstacles.

When you recognize that your current patterns no longer serve you, telling your story in a safe space can start you on the path back to your true self. Underneath the issues that trouble you; grief, trauma, depression, stress, feeling stuck...there are opportunities for growth and positive change. It's time to reconnect with that still, soft voice inside of you that speaks to the truth of who you are; your best self. My therapeutic approach is adapted to your needs; integrating Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, and Art Therapy . I am also trained in EMDR.

I believe that you are the expert of your own healing process. I provide space for in-depth exploration, offering compassion, curiosity, creativity, and resources. I work to align with you so that together we can address the factors that are impeding your well-being and growth. As we move through a time where it increasingly feels that the ground beneath us is shifting, my aim is to support you in not only coping with the challenges ahead, but thriving and moving forward as the empowered creator of your own story. Therapy is an opportunity to slow down and cultivate more authentic alignment with yourself, others, and your community.
