Rational Emotive Behavior (REBT) Therapists in Santa Fe, NM
Two types of clients like me best:
First- those with debilitating anxiety, PTSD, OCD, or specific phobias; suffering from fear, perfectionism, intrusive thoughts/memories, avoidance and shame. For clients wanting demanding, but short-term resolution, I offer intensive treatment, meeting up to 2-3 times weekly, resolving symptoms in under a month. Second- clients wanting general support, guidance, or mentorship with shame, depression, purposelessness, emotional regulation, and communication. I use a combination of cognitive, somatic, and compassion-based interventions, sprinkling in IFS techniques for good measure!

I am deeply committed to helping couples and individuals understand the pitfalls to open and honest communication in their relationships. My clients are typically evolving in a psychospiritual and holistic realm -- and yet are facing challenges in their everday relationships. As a result,
they are equally committed to cultivating an awareness of their thoughts, feelings and habits. My clients often find the "tools" and build new "brain cells" for both present and future change. I always emphasize the folowing equation: KNOWLEDGE ("tools" and new "brain cells") + EXPERIENCE = CHANGE!

When the high-stakes nature of the job leads to hyper-vigilance, burnout, or the weight of critical incidents, you don't have to manage the aftermath in isolation. Therapy serves as a dedicated space to downshift, process the psychological demands of the field, and build a tactical toolkit that functions in the real world. I work with first responders who are looking for relief and operational clarity without judgment, providing the practical support needed to feel grounded, confident, and back in control of life both on and off the clock.

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.

As a recovering alcoholic and drug addict with 39 years of recovery, I enjoy working with other recovering individuals. I have a wide range of treatment therapy expertise to address co-existing issues that often complicate recovery. My professional experience started in 1988 as a substance abuse counselor intern in residential treatment, with later work in outpatient, hospital, criminal justice and military programs where I eventually became a Clinical Director. While I support 12 step recovery, I also offer alternative approaches that are individualized to more closely align with client desires and motivation.

Working with clients from ethnic minority groups is my passion; especially Brazilians, Latinos and Native Americans.

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.

I bring 26 years of front-line experience as a passionate and dedicated psychotherapist to individual clients and couples. My practice focuses on helping people who are carrying the impact of trauma, neglect, or anxious childhood attachment. These painful histories debilitate self-esteem and effective communication; fuel cycles of anxiety / depression and rupture the fabric of connection in precious intimate relationships. Grounded in the latest research in psychology, neurobiology, and mindfulness-based approaches, I have found Internal Family Systems (IFS) to be the most powerful model for creating lasting transformation.

If you are struggling with sadness, hopelessness, helplessness, or despair, you are not alone. Together, we will explore the environmental stressors, thought patterns, and core beliefs that may be contributing to these feelings. My goal is to help you respond to life’s challenges with greater clarity, strength, and self-advocacy.
Our first session is about creating a foundation for growth and a space for you to feel 100% comfortable. Beginning therapy can feel vulnerable, and my priority is to provide a safe, supportive space where we can explore your goals, clarify expectations, and begin the work of meaningful change.

I work with adolescents and adults who carry a lot of responsibility or pressure, yet often feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of themselves. Many struggle with self-doubt, stress, unresolved past experiences, relationship concerns, or major life transitions. My work is grounded in a trauma-informed approach that emphasizes safety, trust, and understanding, while offering a supportive, non-judgmental space to gain relief, insight, and skills to show up more fully and authentically in life.

What should I expect from rational emotive behavior therapy?
The therapist will work with the individual to recognize rigid thought patterns that sabotage goals and set them back. The objective is to identify, challenge and reframe negative thoughts and enable an individual to understand that they possess control over their emotions and their behavior. This therapy often emphasizes the use of reasoning and self-direction.
Is rational emotive behavior therapy effective?
Rational emotive behavior therapy is evidence-based and is highly effective. It helps a person reframe self-defeating or catastrophizing thoughts and gives them tools to approach a range of circumstances they may encounter post-therapy as well. REBT can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.
When do I know if I need treatment with rational emotive behavior therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with rigid, unreasonable thoughts that dwell in negativity, they may feel stuck. A rational emotive behavior therapist can help a person examine and change their thinking patterns as well as their behavior. This concise and concrete therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.
How long does rational emotive behavior therapy last?
REBT therapy treatment is short-term and focused in nature. It can last for a set number of sessions, ending within a few weeks or months. Like any type of therapy, however, sessions depend on the individual, as well as the severity of their condition or problem. The individual may wish to ask the therapist about typical progress and how long they expect treatment to take.
