Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists in Albuquerque, NM

A primary focus of my practice is to assist couples overcome problems and issues in their relationship. Problems of communication, conflict, emotional distance and sexual problems are all issues that can be productively addressed in therapy. Many couples begin therapy in crisis following an affair or at the brink of divorce. Others are disappointed in their relationship and know that there is more intimacy and satisfaction to be found with the partner they love. Intensives and extended sessions may be arranged on weekends or evenings in some circumstances.

Therapy is like a road trip: You need a destination, a map, and a vehicle. In therapy, you choose the destination- Where do you want to go or grow? Every week, we'll track how your last week went. If life is getting better, we're on track! If it's not improving, we change directions. And no more asking "is this working?"! That is our map. Finally, our vehicle is our professional relationship. Research shows that your comfort is the most important part of therapy! While I can't promise you we'll have an instant "click", I can promise to use your weekly feedback to continually improve our sessions. That way, each week gets better.
