Therapists in Lamy, NM

Perhaps you knew what you wanted life to be, but now dreaming of something better is a foreign idea. You’ve been successful yet still feel unfulfilled. Most people who start therapy feel stuck repeating the same painful patterns. Maybe you know you’d be happier if you made changes but you don't have the time. Your life isn't really all that bad and you think you should be grateful for all you have. Instead you're just a tad disgusted with yourself. On top of that, if you're in a relationship, you just want out of it and into something new, but the idea of hurting your partner in the process keeps you from doing something different.

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.

If you have come here today, you are likely in a lot of pain. Your relationship is falling apart or is in a state of transition that's creating stress in your lives. Maybe you and your partner are just not as close as you used to be. Perhaps you are seeking Discernment Counseling to decide. As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential in relationship. I do this by uncovering long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling life and relationship.
