Bipolar Disorder Therapists in Santa Fe, NM
For mood and bipolar disorders, I offer tools for regulation, support, and collaboration with prescribing providers when needed.
I’m a relational, trauma-informed therapist who works primarily with young adults navigating attachment wounds, anxiety, and the lasting impact of complicated relationships with their mothers. Many of my clients are insightful and capable, yet feel chronically dysregulated, self-critical, or unsure of themselves in relationships.
I’m easy to talk to, present, and direct in a caring way. Therapy with me is not an interrogation — I won’t respond to your questions with more questions or rush you toward solutions. I believe healing happens in a shame-free, attuned relationship where your nervous system feels safe enough to soften.

Welcome! I believe that healing comes through the caring and dynamic engagement created between human beings. Thus, our time together will be a creative collaboration that encourages mutual presence and relatedness. Research confirms the importance of this. While no specific technique is consistently effective in eliciting change; certain therapists, who bring a particular kind of presence to their work, often are. I believe I am such a therapist and this is largely because of the intention I bring to our work together along with my advanced training in depth psychology and relational psychotherapy.

Have you ever wondered why it seems you always get the same results in relationship? Since there are many forms of relating, it's likely you find common threads in most of those. We live in a culture that promotes codependency and fails to support us on a path of personal empowerment. This colors not only our perception of others, but also of ourselves. Feelings of sadness, grief and anger arise, and are difficult to calm. With focus on intention, coaching toward better boundaries, and clearer communication, it's possible to find more joy and harmony in life.

It is truly my honor to help people explore the deeper layers of their inner world - the parts of themselves that may feel hidden, misunderstood, wounded or pushed aside. Often, we carry patterns, emotions, or beliefs that we don't fully recognize, yet they quietly influence how we feel, relate, and move through life.
Together, we gently bring these aspects into awareness. Jungian depth therapy, EMDR and other therapy models offered, help bring to the surface an understanding of the complexity of who you are, making space for all the parts of you, and becoming more whole in the process.

What is the most successful approach to treating bipolar disorder?
Living with bipolar disorder can be challenging, and a number of therapies have been found effective in providing support to patients as they gain the skills to understand and manage the disorder. Family-focused therapy is often helpful for children and teens (the majority of cases develop before age 19); it aims to minimize mood cycling by improving family communication and reducing conflict. It also helps young people navigate the developmental challenges the disorder can create. Cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) and variants such as Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)help patients manage the thoughts and feelings that influence bipolar mood swings as well as develop specific behavioral strategies to counteract them.
What happens in therapy for bipolar disorder?
Because the patterns of mood switching and its triggers differ for each person and can change over time, mood tracking or monitoring becomes a basic way patients learn about the nature of their condition. One of the most common features of therapy is finding a workable method of mood monitoring, in which patients track their daily activities and rate their moods, then use the findings to adjust routines accordingly. Patients learn ways of handling the many stresses that arise in life so that they do not trigger mood swings.
What kinds of problems does therapy help with?
Like many other mental health disorders, BPD is heavily influenced by stress; therapy provides skills for coping with stressors of all kinds. Therapy is extremely important for helping individuals identify the situations that may trigger mood switching, so that mood swings can be prevented. Therapy may especially target recognition of the early stages of mood change so that they can be managed. In addition, therapy helps patients deal with the significant amount of turbulence the disorder can create in relationships and in work life.
What is the goal of therapy for bipolar disorder?
Therapy helps patients set up their lives to maintain stability so that their mood isn’t constantly threatened by daily events. Perhaps the first task of therapy is to educate people about the nature of the disorder. At the same time, a primary goal of therapy is to enhance adherence to drug treatment. Extended periods of mood stability can prompt patients to discontinue medication, triggering relapse, while the early phases of manic episodes can feel so energizing that patients stop medication, ushering in full-blown mania and the altered self-perception that can lead to destructive behaviors. Another major goal of therapy is to understand one’s mood patterns so as to minimize both the frequency and intensity of mood cycling.
