Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Albuquerque, NM

At this time I only have Telehealth appointments available. I do have a waitlist for in-person and would happy to place you on it. I am committed to helping adults struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, developmental disorders, trauma , relationship issues, divorce, and problematic family dynamics. I have a Humanistic approach and also utilize techniques that are largely cognitive-behavioral, experiential, and structural. I also focus on family systems. When working with adolescents - I draw from talk, creative play and sand tray therapy.

Would you like to better understand and express your emotions? Or feel more comfortable, ease, and confidence in your relationships? We may have experienced things in our lives that disrupt our sense of self, our ability to regulate our emotions, and our ability to have successful relationships. Engaging in therapy can be a supportive, validating, and empowering experience. When we learn about our emotions, identify patterns that are decreasing the quality of our life, and learn to do something different, we feel more empowered to create the life and relationships we want. We also have the ability to feel safer in our bodies.

Unfortunately, I am unable to accept new clients at this time. If you are looking for a counselor, you are motivated to make changes in your life. Most people seek counseling when their lives and emotions seem overwhelming and unmanageable. From this painful place, healing is possible. I have assisted others in moving from this dark place to a place of self knowledge, change, self acceptance and joy.I have 20 years of experience specializing in the treatment of trauma , complex trauma , PTSD , and mood disorders.

We all experience hardships at different stages in life, some which are harder than others to overcome. Whether you or your child are struggling with depressive symptoms, increased anxiety, grief, difficulty with adjusting to changes or trauma related issues, therapy can be helpful. I have experience in working with children as young as 2 years old, adolescents, and young adults struggling with adjustment, depression, anxiety, grief, and trauma related issues. I strive to support my clients in reducing symptoms and behaviors to bring enjoyment and wellbeing into their lives.

I believe that throughout our lifetime each of us is called to discover and integrate who we truly are. We’re called to uncover our true nature(s) beneath the debris of trauma and old conditioning. We’re called to set ourselves free. This process of integration is central to long-lasting wellness because it is precisely from this place that we’re able to participate fully in our lives and our relationships. Through the process of integration, we get to discover parts we have forgotten, we get to grow a capable inner parent and we get to connect with and heal our inner child.

We seek to create wellness and guide our clients into the heart and soul of what really matters, not just the reduction of symptoms of grief, depression, anxiety, trauma , PTSD and other emotional concerns. We provide skilled guidance in a safe, nurturing and confidential environment so clients can explore deep personal growth and healing. With couples, we focus on uncovering unhealthy patterns of communication that are keeping them stuck in negative cycles, and improve the closeness in their relationships.

There's a beautiful passage by Jacquelyn Small that sums up the way I view and practice therapy: "When therapeutic relating occurs, both parties have dissolved the boundary between the one needing help and the other offering it; they are simply two beings bouncing off each other in truth; We all just need clear people to bounce off of so we can see our own light." I strongly believe that we're the experts of our own lives and sometimes we just need a safe, non-judgmental person to see us, believe our experiences and remind us that we're deserving and healing is possible.

I have over 15 years experience which includes working with the Air Force, a high school, a prison and with individuals, couples and families giving me experience and ability to treat patients I encourage patients to utilize their strengths and experience whenever possible. I have been using a scientific approach, when appropriate, to treat symptoms of PTSD , anxiety and depression.

Are you a man or woman of any age who is experiencing some transitions in your life that seem far too challenging or overwhelming and are becoming obstacles to moving forward? Are they holding you back? These may feel like traumatic experiences or just may feel like you are stuck? They may have lead to addictive behaviors or maybe a crisis of conscious or spiritual crisis? I can offer you a compassionate, encouraging therapeutic relationship with trust and dignity to help you move through it to a place of healing, wellness, self-esteem, motivation, peace and joy. Jon

One of my biggest passions is helping those with trauma , anxiety or depression. Trauma comes in various forms and often times we haven’t processed the events. An ideal client is an individual who is motivated to become healthy and committed to making that happen.

Are you ready to make some changes in your life, but you're not sure where to start? Do you feel alone in your journey to make sense of who you are, who you have been, and who you want to become? Many of us awaken to an awareness that our lives aren't fulfilling us the way that we had always hoped or dreamed of, but we're not sure how to make the changes that we seek or feel overwhelmed at the thought. Together, we will take immediate steps to get you on the path to feeling better.

I specialize in relationship, sexual, and gender issues, trauma and attachment issues, and mindfulness. In our therapy relationship, you’ll experience connection, acceptance, safety, and trust; this can be healing in itself. We'll start by exploring and making sense of your challenges, compassionately and collaboratively. We can also use EMDR, guided imagery, and mindfulness to activate your mind’s natural ability to heal, going deeper than words, into realms of feeling, imagination, and focused attention. I believe you’ll find that I bring exceptional clarity, integrity, and creativity to our therapy work.

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.

"To bear witness" is to listen, observe, and validate painful and/or traumatic experiences of others. It is an honor and a privilege to do this work, and a role I love! I specialize in working with trauma , addiction, body image, reintegration, and finding meaning. I also specialize in supporting other helpers and healers. My mission is to create a safe, non judgmental space for you to grow and achieve your goals.

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.

The WORLD is changing and so are YOU! Imagine new POSSIBILITIES and re-align YOURSELF. Revisit parts of you that have been hidden away! Let out the full/new you! Healing happens partly when there is CHANGE in PERSPECTIVE (thoughts, patterns, behaviors). Let's EXPLORE whatever is not bringing joy and ease! Every person is multifaceted and unique. Through therapy and the therapeutic relationship, you CAN alter your thinking, feelings, behavior patterns and choices- (the ones that no longer serve you). .... learn to love yourself! Think..... "I am open to seeing this differently!" "There is more to me than meets the eye."
