Therapists in Glorieta, NM

LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapy with a heart-centered approach specializing in helping you find & express your true self, manage stress and anxiety, find strength in the face of familial & society constraints, shift associations relating to triggers, overcome patterns that no longer serve you. I have expertise in relational trauma, grief, anxiety, setting boundaries, overcoming compassion fatigue, and manifesting goals/dreams.

As a Therapist I work closely with clients to facilitate mental health, self-acceptance and growth. If you are feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands we can work together to discover clarity, heal the wounds that are limiting you, and find your true self. Together we can uncover your specific skill set to navigate the emotional gauntlet of modern life. Don't let your moment pass! Let your authentic life begin now.

The quality I enjoy most in a client is an intense desire to be free.

I am an activist first & psychotherapist second. I am a survivor of abusive relationships & a counselor for others working through this form of addiction. I am internationally adopted & found my way through identity exploration into reconnecting with my indigenous latinx ancestry including ceremony. I have traveled around the world doing public health work & around USA doing grassroots activism. I have ADHD & am neurodiverse. These are the topics I am most well suited to support you with. My education + lived experience inform my expertise. Tambien hablo el espanol, es mi segunda idioma pero se abre una puerta a uds para conectar.

I provide individual psychotherapy, couples counseling, and career guidance. Individual psychotherapy offers the chance to solve problems and chart new directions in life. You can free yourself from restrictive patterns of the past, develop emotional balance in the present, and enjoy new growth possibilities for the future. In psychotherapy, these goals come within reach through the conscious examination of life patterns. They come to realization through the careful encouragement of human potential. As you develop a subtler awareness of your own thoughts, emotions, and communication patterns, you can learn to change your life.

I am passionate about helping others make peace with their suffering and overall live a more grounded life. I work with individuals (adolescents to adults), couples and families. I love helping others find new meaning after trauma and grief, manage depression and anxiety, as well as help others build healthy self-esteem. I specialize in teaching tools to help others better communicate and repair relationships, heal attachment wounds, gain skills to set healthy boundaries, time manage, build a secure attachment, self-motivate, and adjust to life changes, including medical diagnosis, breakups/divorce, loss, and career changes.

I am passionate and committed to helping you "Learn To Live From the Truth of Who You Are!" Since 1995, as a licensed clinical therapist and registered dance movement therapist, I have adopted an open, eclectic and holistic therapeutic approach that bends to meet each person's unique situation and specific needs. Through a combination of supportive, insight-oriented, skills-based, creative and expressive therapies, I will assist you in freeing your mind, healing your heart, and clearing your path to live your happiest, most authentic Life possible.

My name is Star and I applaud you for taking this step and feel honored you are considering including me on this journey. Do you often feel stuck in the past? If so, come work with me and we will use therapeutic methods to work on what is still holding you back, causing you difficulties-in a gentle and supportive manner.

Many times in our lives we are driven by pain from past events. Much of our experience has been working alongside those who are faced with issues of anger, general and acute stress, PTSD, anxiety, and depression; both youth and adults. We have a deep understanding of the nuances of trauma, generational trauma and the disconnect it can cause. We work with you collaboratively to help you make the changes you want to make in your life.

When you, whether as a couple or an individual, commit to take responsibility for your growth and development, I listen with compassion and interest to develop a proactive therapeutic program to help each of you grow to your greatest potential as an individual (and a couple). Often people aren't aware they have unmet need, wants, and desires. Healing often comes after identifying, accepting, and learning how to ultimately realize those desires and needs. By helping individuals, couples, and families overcome conflicts, trauma, and anxiety, they are able to successfully achieve some of their deepest desires and feel fulfilled.

I am a family therapist. Come see me if you want your house to be a stable and loving place where you get to be the parent, your kids get to be the kids, and everybody gets along.
