Do you struggle with day-to-day functioning due to anxiety, depression, past trauma, burnout, or experiences you can’t fully explain? Are you diagnosed with Autism or ADHD, questioning whether you may be neurodivergent, or simply feeling like your mind works differently than those around you?
Many of my clients are thoughtful, introspective people trying to better understand themselves, their experiences, and why they move through the world the way they do. They often understand their challenges logically, but still feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward in a meaningful way.

We are not broken. We do not need fixing. Rather, many of us have survived challenging circumstances and oppressive systems that have deeply hurt us, impacted our sense of wholeness, and kept us stuck in survival; this survival often looks like high cost coping and symptoms. Our work together supports your movement out of survival and into curiosity, possibility, and embodiment. Whether you’re looking to transform your relationships, heal trauma, emotionally skill-up, address chronic pain/illness, create community, stop people-pleasing, etc, we will get creative together in an approach tailored to support your specific needs.

I work with adults currently, but in addition to psychotherapy, I have experience as a special-needs parenting coach.
You are overwhelmed with life challenges. You accept that you have important work to do, but It's hard to find the starting place. The strategies and habits that used to work don't any longer. You might have friends, but this feels like too much of a burden for friends-and perhaps there is shame, anger, or past trauma affecting judgement? I will be the witness. I'll also be the cheerleader for the courage you'll need to create your future. I take all Presbyterian and Blue Cross insurances (Medicaid, Commercial and Medicare). I work in-office or in community Walk and Talk sessions (ABQ only), as well as online via telehealth.

What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.
When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.
How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
