Chronic Pain Therapists in Santa Fe, NM

You've tried so many ways to alleviate your symptoms of depression, anxiety and trauma. You know your past has an effect on your present feelings. I know the feeling and I would love to help you.

A life of sobriety begins after detoxification from drugs and alcohol. In my work with those struggling to maintain their sobriety, I often see an inner emptiness where one feels lonely, frustrated, unhappy, and trapped. The traditional approach to counseling attempts to help the client see themselves as they are and how to best cope with it. What distinguishes my approach: I guide clients towards seeing themselves as who they can be. Visit my website at www.Next-Step-Sobriety.com

Many of us struggle with physical illness , emotional pain or relationship problems. Sometimes life looks fine on the outside, but we hunger for something more. That feeling of emptiness can lead to depression, anxiety, addiction, physical illness or other problems that seem overwhelming. But the answers are there, because inside your heart is a wellspring of wisdom and love. By uncovering and clearing the causes of distress, our own inner light can shine through. I offer a safe and nurturing space, along with practical skills to uncover the deep inner peace, health and happiness that are buried in your heart.

We are innately wired for connection, intimacy + pleasure. However, these intrinsic values can be altered by experiences of trauma, physiological factors, + the environment. Part of our work together will center around separating who you think you “should” be as a human from who you actually are as an intersectional being. I work with both individuals + couples to develop an understanding of attachments + sexuality in order to promote intimate relationships with both the self + others. We will explore how to cultivate meaningful connections that enable vulnerability, generate deeper intimacy, unearth desires, + harness pleasure.

I have experience helping clients cope with issues related to anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, grief, illness , gender, sexuality, and life transitions. I love working as a counselor and feel so grateful for the opportunity to forge genuine connections with my clients while supporting them through their struggles.
