Therapists in Albuquerque, NM

My mission and purpose has always been to provide a safe place for those seeking help for substance misuse and underlying challenges such as trauma, mood disorders, stress management, relationship problems. I have been active in the recovery community for the last 17 years, first as a peer support volunteer, then as a recovery coach and now as a licensed substance abuse associate (LSAA). I hold a BA in Psycho-Spirituality from Antioch University in Seattle. I have worked continuously in various support groups since I was 22 years old, when I began working with homeless LGBTQIA+ youth.

Just by showing up and reading this, You are brave! Looking for help isn't always easy, but if the following resonates with you, I believe I can help! Do you find yourself feeling stuck in negative repetitive patterns? Overwhelmed and uncertain? Experiencing anxiety and/or depression and wanting more out of life but not sure how to get there?

As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LPCC) and military veteran, my focus is to serve other military veterans and their families. Although serving the military community is my primary focus, I am certainly open and available to others seeking guidance and support. Whether you are dealing with the stress of a recent deployment, transitioning out of the military, having separation anxiety, communication/relationship issues, or dealing with PTSD, there is no need to navigate these life struggles on your own. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness and counseling can help.

Are you a young person who is feeling overwhelmed, anxious or stressed? Do people in your circles constantly comment that you're "too much?....too overwhelming...or that you over-react to everything?" What you're experiencing is actually common and CAN be changed. But you don't need to "fix" yourself....because you're not broken. But for whatever reason, what you're doing and how you're living right now isn't working, and maybe a therapist, unlike family and friends, can lend a neutral eye and ear to assist you in the growth to get you to the best version of yourself. Not someone you want to be, someone you CAN be.

Our focus is to empower and assist individuals in the healing and recovery process through various evidence-based treatments, client-centered approaches, and culturally responsive practices. We focus on creating transformative relationships with our clients in a safe environment where individuals can heal and create a substance-free lifestyle.

Now Accepting New Clients. Providing therapeutic services since late 2012 to a wide array of clients with different needs has taught me so much as a therapist and as a human being. I have learned that all people desire positive and safe connections with others. Working from the perspective of the interpersonal process approach, I seek to develop an affirming therapeutic alliance as the foundation for the work ahead. Once that foundation has been built, healing can begin to take place.

With a client-centered approach, I provide compassionate support for your personal growth and healing. Creating a safe, non-judgmental space, I prioritize your needs and goals.

NOT accepting new clients. I have been working with families since 2017. In that time I have had the opportunity to work with families who are experiencing both physical and emotional trauma, homlessness and drug addictions. I enjoy working with parents, children, tweens, and teens. The world is full of stressful situations and life has it's ups and downs, during these moments we could all use some help and guideance in learning how to cope in a healthy way. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with an endorsement in Infant Mental Health and a Certified Case Manager. Lets work together to make life as enjoyable as you can.

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.

Maybe you feel stuck, uncertain, or unhappy with the way things are going. Maybe each day feels like it’s too much. Maybe the uncertainties of each day are overwhelming. Maybe you just feel like you need a little “tune-up”. Often times recognizing that you want, or need, a little help can be daunting, and taking that first step can be intimidating. Whatever you are experiencing, you are not alone - and you don’t have to do it on your own. I use a strengths-based, person centered, and culturally sensitive approach that incorporates various evidence-based strategies tailored to your beliefs, values, goals, and needs.

I am passionate about helping people! I believe in a person-centered, strengths-based approach. As a multi-racial, multi-cultural social worker, I bring a unique set of skills to working with people -we are all different, and we deserve to be seen and understood as we are. I specialize in trauma and have extensive experience with co-occurring/dual-diagnosis conditions. I also enjoy working with people from all walks of life, in all stages of life: women, men, non-binary people, LGBTQAI+ people, teens, and children. I enjoy helping people find their way and finding out more about who they are and how they are in the world.

My PhD in Clinical Psychology has given me the knowledge and sensitivity that psychotherapy is a very personal experience. Together we gain the trust to peel the layers of the "false self" away from the true, authentic self. Each person is different, therefore each person's healing has to be treated individually. Human suffering can be healed and I treat trauma from early childhood to the present, treating unhealthy early attachment issues we may use now in relationships. Together we will examine patterns which the patient finds distressing and long standing. I do not give advise, rather I help the patient find the advise within.

I've been involved in the social service/mental health field since 07. My experience and career of assisting other ranges from working at a homeless shelter to incarcerated youth to Adult Inpatient Psych to One on one/Group General Mental Health concerns. Many of client concerns that I have assisted range from past/present trauma events, distorted view of self, and substance abuse and life transitions and cognitive distortions and depressed/anxious mood and etc. All with the goal of seeking some form of peace and balance in their lives.
