Therapists in Albuquerque, NM
Do you feel tense and anxious most of the time? Do you feel consumed with worries? So much so, that it is hard to relax and enjoy the moment? Chronic worry can rob us from enjoying the present. Perhaps this has happened to you, you have looked forward to a fun event and once you are there, it is hard to enjoy or focus on the fun because fearful thoughts intrude. Family or friends may have told you such things as “Just quit worrying.” “Relax, let it go.” “You need to move on.” "Just breathe." If it were only that simple.....

Tending to our emotional and psychological wellness isn’t a process we have to experience alone. There’s a lot of support to be had, including for the most sensitive and vulnerable of our concerns. I’m a Master of Social Work candidate and a certified coach who specializes in sex and love addiction and codependency. I also counsel the partners and loved ones of such addicts. Together, my clients and I walk the path of surrendering unhealthy relationship patterns and behaviors.

I have worked with a diverse group of clients to aid in managing ADHD, anxiety, transitions and adjustments (veterans, military spouses, aging, life stages), emotional regulation, and building healthy communication skills. I offer a more directive approach to therapy and help build trust and rapport within the therapeutic relationship. I work with adults to build coping skills, regulation skills, and to develop an understanding of themselves to make healthier choices moving forward. I understand that therapy can be intimidating and I aim to help ease that discomfort within the therapeutic space to ensure progress can be made.

Therapy is a verb. It is an active process that requires your participation and engagement as well as my own. I am passionate about helping you make real changes within yourself and thus your life. Maybe you already know what you want to address or perhaps something in your external world has turned your life upside down. Whatever is driving you here, I would be a good fit for you if you want a therapist that is equally active and invested in your process of change.

Most people just want to be heard. They want to know that someone is listening to them and someone cares. Further, most of us contain the answers to our questions. We simply need someone to support us and remind us of our great worth and value. Within this environment of support we are able to discover within ourselves what we have been lacking, where we are in need and what will improve our lives. You are capable, you can do this! I wish to congratulate you on coming this far, you are not alone and there is not something “wrong” with you. Actually, there are some great attributes within or you would not have had the courage.

My years in clinical practice have taught me that most people want and need some support and practical tools to get them through the tough times in life-loss of a loved one, end of a relationship, burnout with a job, financial stress. Or perhaps you need to change what you know are bad habits and are having difficulty doing so on your own. Transitions that are managed successfully can give us new tools and wisdom. We shed our old selves and face the future embedded in our resilience. If these are your needs please contact me.

I believe that everyone deserves to be heard, no matter where you come from. "Keeping things in" or "keeping your thoughts to yourself" is a dangerous path to walk alone. We get lost and lead astray by distracting uncomfortable thoughts; we know better than to be fooled by them but words hurt and emotions are messy and uncomfortable. Words are powerful and they're not easy to deal with, but having someone to talk to and be your authentic and true self can help find where you need to go and make your journey less scary.

We aren’t meant to do life alone. Therapy is a unique process that can offer understanding, compassion, support, and challenge you.

Through this process you can learn skills and practices to develop resilience, boundaries, and work towards healing and overall wellness. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable space for you to come as you are, and to honor your needs by working towards your goals at your pace.

Bienvenidos! I'm happy you are here. The idea of going to therapy can be scary and intimidating, but the fact that you are looking for help is proof that you have more inner strength and courage than you know. Creating a balance between mental health and wellness is vital in living a meaningful life. Maybe you have done a lot of self-help, gym, yoga, and workshop stuff. This is great, but sometimes we all need extra and professional support to get ourselves through challenging and tough times.
