French-Speaking Therapists in Albuquerque, NM
Pastoral counseling / spiritual direction --especially for people not currently (or ever) participating in a religious community. I offer a fresh, open, insightful, lively look at life, relationships, grief, worry, changes, responsibility, God, love, and the meaning of it all. Hospital visits in times of need, end-of-life chaplaincy, weddings, funerals, regular visitation at nursing homes, etc. Spiritual clarity, rather than "religion" within narrow confines, is the path to health, hope, joy, and peace. As the song says, "Faith can move mountains... but only love can give set us free, and only love can give us peace."

I have great respect for you for taking this step to restore and/or enhance your trust, loving communication and mutual understanding. My specialty is introducing you to tools for communication that open up a whole new way of relating to your partner. Understanding how feelings and attitude affect your communication will bring greater awareness to your relationship, and new awareness can transform your old unproductive patterns into new loving ones.

I help couples and individuals heal, grieve, grow, develop a healthy sense of self and experience their power cooperatively (rather than competitively). When you experience relational conflicts, grief, trauma, or infidelity, I listen with compassion to develop a therapeutic program to help you heal and grow to your greatest potential as an individual (and a couple). By helping you overcome grief, conflicts, trauma, and anxiety, you can successfully achieve some of your deepest desires and feel fulfilled. Healing and happiness often come after identifying, accepting, and learning how to realize those desires and needs.

Sometimes, going through difficult experiences can lead to unexpected growth. Even in pain, you may discover a deeper strength, clarity about what matters most, and a renewed sense of purpose. This process is called Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG) — and it’s real.
Growth is possible when you recognize your inner strength after surviving something hard; clarify your values and what truly matters now; connect your experiences to a deeper purpose; allow safe, supportive people into your healing journey and take small, meaningful steps toward life after trauma.

If you have arrived here, likely your habitual tools that once served you are no longer working. Or perhaps they never were, and you can no longer ignore this reality. You may feel lost, hopeless, helpless, or a combination of challenging emotions. I am here to tell you that you will not feel this way forever. Through an attachment-based, IFS, and trauma-informed lens, I will assist you in addressing the root causes of your suffering. No band-aids here; I believe the only way to live free of trauma, negative self-talk, poor self-esteem, depression, anxiety, or addiction is to face the origin story head-on.

As we travel through the journey of life we inevitably run into obstacles that challenge our coping skills, our way of life, and even our spiritual faith. Hurdles such as loss of focus, loss of relationships, grief, stress, addictions, past and current trauma, depression, and anxiety can seriously challenge our ability to live the life we had imagined; sometimes we even lose our way and direction.

We all know that fairy tale endings are rare. For the majority of us, the real challenge is figuring out what happiness means to us. From a young age, we are bombarded with ideas of what it should be, but it's up to us to determine our own meaning. It's not easy - we're often influenced by family, friends, education, and society in our pursuit of happiness. But ultimately, it takes bravery and accountability to face each day and make choices for our own well-being.

Trauma can create contraction, fragmentation, and stagnation. It can be experienced emotionally, mentally, spiritually and physically. It is held in the nervous system due to its inability to process and integrate the experience of something happening "too fast, too soon, being too much or lasting too long."
Dr. Peter Levine, the founder of Somatic Experiencing, states that "Trauma is not what happens to us, but what we hold inside in the absence of an empathic witness." My main focus is to help you feel safe in your own body and learn to regulate your nervous system in the here-and-now.
