Presbyterian Therapists in Santa Fe, NM
I work with individuals and couples facing crises, complex relationship dynamics, mood disorders including bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, chronic illness, and major life transitions. My approach is depth-oriented and growth-focused, helping clients regain clarity, agency, and a stronger sense of self. I specialize in working with clients who feel stuck in recurring patterns, identity confusion, or emotional reactivity and are seeking meaningful, lasting change rather than surface-level coping.

Sometimes life events and experiences interfere with our ability to make sense of the world and find our place in it. We may lose our sense of safety and control and become flooded with overwhelming thoughts and emotions. Whether you’re feeling isolated, lonely, frustrated, fearful or confused, it is possible to emerge courageous and hopeful.

Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, especially when you’ve been through painful or confusing experiences.
My goal is to offer a safe, grounded space where you can begin to understand yourself, heal from what’s happened, and move toward feeling more whole and connected.
I’m an EMDR-certified therapist and trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS). In my work, I integrate the two approaches through IFS-informed EMDR, helping clients heal trauma while also developing compassion and understanding toward the parts of themselves that have carried pain, fear, or shame.

I call my practice Clinical Holistic Inner Awareness Therapy because it integrates mind, body, emotions and spirit into the healing process. This holistic approach combines elements of cognitive behavioral therapy, family therapy, solution focused therapy, mindfulness and somatic practices with the goal of healing yourself, your relationships, and your life. This therapeutic approach involves becoming aware of the conditioned protective beliefs that are formed by past traumatic events and then reframing them into more accurate, functional beliefs in the present.

I am in-network for Aetna, BCBS, Medicare, United and Presbyterian health care plans.
You are soul tired, tired of waking up every day with a sense of dread, a sense that something is wrong or that you aren’t doing something right. You’re tired of telling everyone your fine when you really feel like you’re on fire. You tell yourself that you aren’t the only one who has experienced loss and you should be grateful for what you have, but it’s hard. You’re tired of wanting to talk about how you feel but you’re still avoiding friends because you’re afraid they will ask. You're wondering if these feelings will ever change. Maybe there is also a part of you that believes change is possible- which is why you’re here.

A moment of deeply connecting with oneself through an embodied experience can allow for spontaneous change, and eliminate the need for constant seeking of new insight or retelling of the story. I listen to both your words and body with deep respect and sensitivity. I accept you as you are. I will help you gather your resources and embody self-compassion and strength, which will enable you to slowly and gently process pain, stress, and trauma. Through our work together, you will experience being able to lovingly soothe the pain, instead of going towards addictive processes or substances.

I currently am in network with Presbyterian, Magellan, BCBS and Medicaid.
For 15 years, I have helped people overcome fears, access inner wisdom, reclaim a sense of choice in their lives & learn to feel emotionally safe again. It is my hope to reduce stigma around psychotherapy and inner work. In our sessions, I bring gentle firmness, empathic attunement, humor and an appreciation for human complexity. I utilize EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and depth psychology approaches to help you work through sometimes subtle or unseen disruptions that impact mental wellness.

I enjoy working and developing a therapeutic relationship with people that are struggling in their life whether it's with depression, anger, trauma, anxiety, relationships or even a sense that something needs to change. It's within that struggle that the spark of hope resides and I see it as my job to help people focus on their future, their strengths and successes and then begin to rediscover the hope and power to begin to shape their future and their lives.

Often clients need to be seen and heard so that they can process emotions and stress from past trauma or current stressors in which they feel stuck and unable to move forward. You may need support to better understand your life experiences that led you to the present. You need to feel the safe compassionate presence of another to process. I provide warm, relational, supportive client centered therapy and am experienced with anxiety, depression and trauma. I have worked with people from diverse ethnic and socio economic backgrounds and integrate an understanding of cultural factors and intergenerational trauma in our work.

Coming into meaningful relationship with another person in therapy is a powerful way to restore your connection with yourself—or to build it for the first time. I believe that it is never too late—or too early—for us to become more whole, and more truly ourselves.
