I am available after regular work hours which allows clients to be at their own home - not rushing back to work.
In the real lives of everyday people stuff happens. Some of it hurts a little. Some of it hurts for a lifetime. I use several evidence-based therapies to help work through feelings of abuse, betrayal, danger, and damage to recover, repair, and rebuild. Finding hope and help is a great start.

Like many folks from the surrounding area, I too come from the harsh impoverished communities of New Mexico. I am New Mexican born and raised, so trust me, I know how hard it is out there. Understanding who you are and your place in the world is not easy. However, given the opportunity, I would like to help you navigate the greater depths of who you are as a person by heightening self-awareness through self-discovery.

You've experienced something terrible in your life, and you cannot stop thinking about it. You can't sleep, and barely function throughout the day. Or maybe you function, but you're unhappy, stressed and anxious. Maybe you cover the pain with drugs, sex or alcohol. Trauma affects everyone- and everyone reacts in their own way. You want to be able to look forward to your day, your life and your relationships. If you've been through sexual trauma, infidelity, relational issues or have low self esteem, EMDR can help.

We change every day. Sometimes those changes are big and leave us feeling uncertain or knocked down. And sometimes they are so small, we barely notice them. My clients are often looking for help to resolve old changes they haven't embraced or struggling with current or future change. Whether a new career, retiring, losing a loved one, moving to a new place, or making an identity transition, change can be upsetting and frightening! I help my clients understand the change process, and to settle into their strength so they can take back control of their lives, leading to better mood, less anxiety, and greater life satisfaction.

How do I find a therapist near me who is accepting new patients?
Finding a therapist who is actively accepting new patients can feel overwhelming, so it can be helpful to narrow your search down as much as possible. Use the Psychology Today Therapy Directory to search specifically for therapists who are in your state and who are accepting new patients right now, so you are not wasting time reaching out to providers who have a closed waitlist. From there, you can narrow your search further by insurance, specialty, and whether you prefer in-person or online appointments. Once you find someone who looks like a good fit, you can reach out directly to confirm their availability and request an initial consultation.

How long does it typically take to get an appointment with a therapist?
Wait times for therapists in the US vary widely depending on where you live. In major cities, the wait can range from a few days to several weeks. In rural or underserved areas, it is not uncommon to wait several months. Wait times can also vary depending on the type of therapist you are looking for. In general, master's level therapists like licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) and licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) tend to be more widely available than psychologists, who hold a doctoral degree. Availability can also differ depending on the specialty you are looking for; therapists who specialize in areas like trauma, eating disorders, or child therapy tend to have longer wait times because there are fewer of them relative to the demand for their specific expertise.

What are my options if no therapists near me are accepting new patients right now?
If you are having difficulty finding a local therapist with availability, there are a few steps you can take. First, consider expanding your search to include online therapy, not just providers in your immediate geographic location. Online therapy has made it possible to see a licensed therapist in your state without needing to travel, and in many cases online providers have shorter wait times than local in-person practices. Second, your primary care doctor can be a helpful bridge while you wait. They can conduct an initial evaluation, provide referrals that may help move the process along, and in some cases connect you with other mental health resources in your area. Third, if your symptoms feel urgent, community mental health centers are designed to serve people regardless of insurance status or ability to pay, and they often have more flexibility for both crisis care and follow-up appointments than private practices do.
