Hello and welcome! My practice specializes in assisting individuals through transitional points in their life whether that is the loss of a relationship, new employment/career, retirement, job loss, infertility, the diagnosis of a chronic health condition, divorce, unemployment, accident/injury, or the death of a loved one. Often these transitions produce anxiety, fear, sadness, depression, and anger. It is not uncommon to feel "stuck" during these transitional points and speaking with a professional is often beneficial to process these changes/challenges.

Working with clients from ethnic minority groups is my passion; especially Brazilians, Latinos and Native Americans. Having experienced being an immigrant myself while living in Brazil, I am very aware of the unique difficulties facing newly arrived immigrants. Individuals needing assistance with school difficulties, parenting concerns, family conflict, marital discord, or functionally impairing mental health symptoms are my ideal client.
In addition, I am a licensed prescribing psychologist in the state of NM and am able to prescribe psychotropic medications to individuals who live in NM.

One specialty is healing chronic pain.
I focus on feelings. Feelings are the doorway to deep transformation. Feelings are what we have the most trouble with, understand the least, and reject the most. So I teach the acceptance of and learning from feelings.
I first started working as a psychotherapist in 1991. I took detours into the software industry and later, into full-time Buddhist practice and years of meditative retreat. I have a background in physics and I love philosophy; and I've counseled scientists, intellectuals, doctors, business professionals, and other therapists; and the issue tends to be the same: feelings, and making sense of them.

Occasionally we need someone to help guide us back to ourselves and to ground in that inner knowledge. Whether it is mid-life transitions, loss, trauma, our past history, relationships, or simply the chaotic pace of our modern life that has caused us to lose touch, finding our way back helps us to find what we are seeking. Decisions and life transitions then feel a little less burdensome, our relationships less fraught with conflict, our lives a little more joyful. I think Jon Kabat-Zinn found the most eloquent way of saying it...

Have you have noticed something feeling off? Are you surviving instead of thriving? If so, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

As a CSAT, CPTT, and CMAT, I specialize in helping individuals heal from betrayal, and co-occurring addictions.

I have 25 years experience working productively with people of diverse backgrounds, ages, and sexual orientations. Our job together is to identify dysfunctional patterns that contribute to—even perpetuate—your difficulties. The main focus of therapy is to remove inner and outer obstacles that prevent you from reaching your goals and having better relationships. Please note, after years of counseling and assessment in offices, I‘ve recently moved into a different space: video. Active listening in a safe, private setting is foundational to this work. I’ve learned that the catalytic elements of good therapy can thrive via video too.
