Therapy is a very personal and intimate process. I believe a therapist should be a bit less clinical than other health professionals, while at the same time providing a safe and comfortable, yet professional atmosphere. My practice is designed to allow clients to truly be at ease with me, which is one of the most important steps in the completion of successful therapy.

Therapy? Who needs therapy? Not you, right? Yeah, that's what I thought too. After all, we should be able to just "handle things" without the help of some head-shrinker, shouldn't we?
The truth is, you probably don't need therapy.
You're not going to stop breathing without it. Another truth is that life is full of pressure and stress, and it's hard for anyone to handle it all alone. Many of us are dealing with childhood or adult traumas, anxiety and depression, and trouble trusting others. We don't always know how to reach out or ask for help.

If you are ready to go beyond talk, beyond living in survival mode, and beyond old conditioned patterns, I would love to work with you. I specialize in supporting people in healing from attachment wounds, relational trauma, abuse, neglect, and the impacts of societal oppression. I see my work through a social justice lens that looks at the whole picture of the world we are living in, not just from the perspective of individual pathology. I believe in the resiliency of the human spirit, and our innate capacity for individual and collective healing. I endeavor to help you re-claim your voice, your power, and your intuition.

It is easy to get swept up into what the world defines a woman should be. This world can pollute the mind into believing that extreme measures need to be taken in order to fulfill the status quo. It is exhausting molding oneself into a mold that was never meant to be. Each woman has been created for a unique purpose, and if the purpose gets diluted with the expectations of this world, the true beauty and intellect of the woman is hidden and that is a travesty. When a women sees her value in God's eyes, she truly becomes alive, as she understands she was created for a purpose, and is not a mere afterthought.

Anxiety and depression gives us bad stories that we tell ourselves over and over again; in therapy, we work together to rewrite those stories, weaving a new narrative with better truths that encourage your growth. We want to help you find the connections in your story to answer the questions about yourself that have been making it difficult to move forward on your own path. Working to untangle our pasts and how they inform our present can be intimidating but it allows us to navigate a better course for our future.

There are times in life when we all find ourselves needing to heal from a painful past, trying to live in the present moment, and/or struggling to plan for an unsure future. Life can get so hectic that we can feel out of balance. This can contribute to brain health issues such as anxiety, depression, irritability, fatigue, sleep issues, mood and behavior problems. Finding a Counselor/Therapist that is a good fit is crucial. A solid foundation of respect and support is essential. Whether you choose to engage in this work with me or another therapist, know that you are taking an important step forward in your path to wellness.

We believe everyone deserves a life worth living; simply because you are here you deserve a life based on your terms, needs, and desires. That said, many of us have experienced things in our lives that get in the way of us believing or realizing this. Sometimes, we simply have not been taught the skills we need or perhaps things have happened in our lives that interfere with us using those skills. We will work with you to uncover what it would mean for you to live your life worth living.

Are you someone who values loving and supportive relationships? Do you wish to have a nourishing and intimate relationship, but repeatedly date the same type of person you were trying to get away from? Do you feel anxious, overwhelmed, numb, irritable, or disconnected from yourself &others? Do you struggle with flashbacks, insomnia, chronic headaches, or panic attacks? You may be experiencing symptoms of relational or complex trauma. Our physical & mental health can be impacted by childhood abuse, neglect, or unmet emotional needs, and can make it difficult to have a healthy relationship with our self and others.

I was born and raised in the suburbs of Minneapolis, MN, but thereafter lived in various locations across the USA, including Las Vegas, NV; New Orleans, LA; and Portland, OR. In 2011 I moved to Silver City, NM to join a Tibetan Buddhist dharma center. Though I have since parted ways with them, Buddhism and eastern philosophy have had a strong influence on my life and my work in mental health. I have been living in Albuquerque since 2018.

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.

I help women struggling to make peace with themselves in their marriages, at work, and in parenting. Maybe you’re going through a life change: becoming a mother, starting your first job after a demanding graduate school program, or hoping to transition out of a role you've had for years. Perhaps you’re often feeling resentful. I know how hard you’re working and how much you’re giving. Some days, you start to feel the pressure mount and you’re worried you might crack. You notice more worry, procrastination, people pleasing, irritability, and perfectionism. This is not how you set out to live and you’re starting to doubt yourself.

Women's Issues Therapists
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.
How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
