Elders (65+) Therapists in Santa Fe, NM

I essentially work in partnership with clients’ and together identify your goals for therapy. Most importantly, we will identify your strengths; explore what is working well and establish what you want to be different in your life. We will cultivate a plan to accomplish the goals that you set forth for positive change. I define my principal approach to counseling as Client-centered, Narrative (Talk) Therapy, while I also enjoy the practical nature of Brief, Solution-Focused Therapy.

Are you seeking balance? I offer services of traditional psychotherapy and Japanese reiki, offering options in how you meet your wellness goals. Psychotherapy is an effective tool that people use to improve mental health, based on relationship building, dialogue, and behavior change. Usui reiki is a practice of reducing the impact of stress on the energy within the body. When disrupted, it causes diminished function in the organs and tissues of the physical body. Reiki assists this energy flow through the chakras, nourishing the organs and cells for vital function and health.

Sometimes we find ourselves closed off, disconnected, in a state of hurt and protection,confused or being overly critical of ourselves. This can affect our lives in many ways; as lack of self-confidence, blame, isolation, unhealthy relationships, anger, resignation or addictions. I want to help you develop the tools and find your inner resources to have peace in your life and heal past hurt. Healing can happen when we find safety within ourselves and with another person. This is what counseling provides and what I offer you: a safe non judgmental space to be yourself freely.

You may be experiencing issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, uncertainty and shame that color your emotional world. Or maybe you find these issues affecting your most important relationships, your sense of self, or your purpose in life. I work with individuals & couples to heal, to know themselves more deeply, and connect more authentically. I cultivate a warm, safe and open therapeutic space, one that will allow you to feel supported as you take emotional risks, learn new skills, and try new experiences - in short, to live a full life on your terms.

Suppose previous therapies left you disappointed by a lack of depth. You might be a more complex person for whom quick-fix approaches aren't enough. I recognize that past influences present and strive to help you resolve your immediate problems, as well as avoid repeating unhealthy patterns that undermine your ability to live a more satisfying and fulfilling life. As a result, psychotherapy often becomes a process of growth and discovery that enables you to live with ease and joy, ultimately leading to a greater sense of inner peace and freedom.
