Therapists in Albuquerque, NM

We aren’t meant to do life alone. Therapy is a unique process that can offer understanding, compassion, support, and challenge you. I believe that transformation and healing happen in the context of healthy relationships. Therapy can help you create the change you want in your life. 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.

ACCEPTING MEDICAID CLIENTS MORNING AND AFTERNOON AVAILABILITY!" I love working with adults who are at that point in their lives where they are changing, questioning everything, trying to figure out how to make sense of it all, and deciding what they want from life. This process is essentially what counseling is. I have a lot of experience in helping people sort through these issues in a healthy way. I want future clients to know that they are not alone and if they feel that they are and need someone to talk to that is what I love to do and I would love to meet them.

I am a sensitive and empathetic Integrative psychotherapist. I believe that counseling should be a warm, relaxed, and comfortable experience, involving genuine caring, acceptance, & non-judgement. I believe in building authentic relationships w/my clients. I think that one of the most important aspects of the therapeutic process is the relationship between client and therapist, and I strive to be warm, empathetic, supportive, and trusting. I work with clients from a strengths-based, positive, and affirming perspective.

Are you struggling to connect with your passion and creativity? You've lost your sense of purpose, you're struggling with emotions that get the better of you, and your relationships are suffering as a result. You know something needs to change, but you're not sure how to get started. You deserve to reclaim your sense of identity and self-determination. I help motivated, creative people like you reconnect with your purpose, heal from trauma, anxiety, and self-doubt, and foster meaningful relationships with yourself and the world around you.

Dreams and the unconscious hold symbols that assist in the healing process for depression, anxiety, and addictions. As a Jungian clinical counselor, I use these tools to help you establish a connection between consciousness and the higher Self. The Self then becomes a strong core from which we can operate in a healed and healthy manner. We are no longer driven by unconscious complexes and desires, but make conscious decisions that support life and its many expressions.

I am a graduate of the Counselor Education program at the University of New Mexico and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. My clinical interests include eating disorder treatment, fat liberation and body acceptance, and LGBTQIA+ issues. My counseling approach is largely informed by social constructionist theory, which emphasizes the influence of sociocultural contexts on individual wellness and identity. I believe that clients are experts in their own lives, and that my role as a counselor is to help clients to explore their perspectives and the contexts which have shaped them.

My focus is on supporting the healing and growth of children. Children are a vulnerable population and do not always have the means to succeed. Clients may come in with anxiety, depression, issues regulating emotions, emotional outbursts. These issues can occur in all environments and impact a child's functioning. Childhood trauma can have a negative impact on development and the ultimate success of a child's future. Not all trauma leaves physical effects but can also leave emotional effects. Children can be left with challenges building relationships, understanding themselves, regulating and functioning overall.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I obtained my B.A. in psychology from Southern Illinois University. My interest in male/female relationships led me to pursue a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Liberty University. But I don’t only work with families. Families are comprised of two individuals who were reared in his/her family of origin from which they developed their worldview and values. Two unique individuals come together, bringing their experiences with them into the relationship. These differences can result in conflict. My job is to help them see how the conflict arose and constructive ways to resolve

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 enjoy seeing clients live happier lives. Things can get difficult to live with due to Trauma, Stress, Anxiety and Depression. In helping you move from a challenging time regarding you or someone you care about – let’s put your best foot forward and go where you want. We can map out your best path ahead and then help you get there. Whether it is overcoming challenges or living with a new situation you do not have to just deal with it – you can Go Live Happy.

I invite you to more fully be yourself. My approach to therapy assumes that you are motivated to look at changing one or all of these: how you feel, how you think, or how you act. The self-discovery that's part of therapy comes when we gradually become more aware of how we think, how we feel, how we act. If you find yourself with a general sense of dissatisfaction (with yourself or the world), feel apathetic or fearful of what's next, or find yourself making the same mistakes over and over, my approach combining mindfulness, body awareness, deep listening (to your story) and creative problem-solving will be useful to you.

We do our best to create a welcoming and comfortable environment because sometimes the work can be difficult and uncomfortable.

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.
