Therapists in Ruidoso, NM

Today’s uncertain future and perfection-driven culture makes many of us uncomfortable in our minds and bodies, not to mention the day to day difficulty of being human. Yet life is more than suffering, and we are not made to do it alone. With the help of someone who gets how hard life can be, it is possible to feel safe, confident and comfortable in our skins, forgive ourselves for past mistakes, and build a future we look forward to. Let’s work together to slowly stop reliving the unpleasant past, and fear of the future, through a variety of powerful methods.

These are trying times, aren’t they? Struggling in a relationship in the middle of a global pandemic—magnifing the overwhelm! Relationships and homelife feel overwhelming. You’re numb and exasperated. You’re feeling hopeless and taken advantage of. Your partner trash talks you—taking another vital part of your self-esteem. You may feel used and disrespected—even victimized. Brain fog is a ‘constant’ as you feel life passing you by. I feel you. There is a scientific system for recovery. My speciality is providing that system for your recovery. A step-by-step system leading out of the hopelessness into a healthy relationship.

Every individual and family has unique strengths. We want to help individuals and families nurture creativity, change and development and to build a foundation in which they do not hold themselves hostage to past mistakes or ways of understanding.

Do you feel lost and stuck like your life is out of control, too many days just filled with overwhelming sadness, depression, and anxiety?

Want a greater sense of renewed refreshed energy, better equipped to choose to let life circumstances drive you to create the life you want instead of letting it define your life. I believe that each one of us has the potential to change our attitudes to change our life!
