TriWest Therapists in Santa Fe, NM
Life can be kind, chaotic, saddening, dark, mesmerizing, or unexpected. All perspectives different for everyone while every year or decade we become a new version of ourselves we try to understand. Sometimes it is hard to do on our own, which is why therapy is a great option to have as support.
My approach to therapy is to help you find movement in the stuck, coping in the intense emotions and stress, and understanding who you are outside of what is or is not benefiting you. It can be learning about who you are and what you want out of this life.

Many times in our lives we are driven by pain from past events.

We have a deep understanding of the nuances of trauma, generational trauma and the disconnect it can cause. We work with you collaboratively to help you make the changes you want to make in your life.

I help couples regain love, find shared meaning and improve ability to listen and be heard. Additionally, the transition to parenthood, while longed for, can place huge strains on relationships. Being a parent brings up unresolved feelings of all kinds from one's own childhood that may interfere with being the parent you want to be. I help parents and children feel good about their families. My goal is to help parents find greater competence and confidence to recognize and respond to their children's fundamental needs.

Do you see your life as a journey? If you are like me, coming from one culture and living in another, then you know something about cultural journeys. However, there are also cultural journeys that are invisible. If you are a stranger in your own culture—someone who is outside looking-in or inside looking-out— you will know the distances that you travel, just being yourself and still being with others. We are all a culture-of-one, but some of us are a little farther out than that, and we juggle the values. How can you make your position in life meaningful?

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!

Couples Counseling with a therapist who “gets it” is often just what is needed for a relationship that is struggling, in conflict, on its last legs, or when it is going through transition. Sometimes relationships are in crisis due to infidelity or the discovery of pornography use. Couples counseling is proven to be very helpful in these situations, resolving relationship conflicts such as sexual problems, financial conflict, disagreements over parenting issues, or communication problems among other issues that arise in relationships.

Problem gambling is one of the most hidden addictions in the U.S. due to the shame and stigma associated with gambling problems. Many people still mistake problem gambling for a moral problem or simply see it as poor choice making, rather than understanding the complex brain hijacking that problem gambling is for some people who can’t quit. Several neurotransmitters including dopamine, serotonin, glutamate, opioids, to name a few, are acting simultaneously on the brain during problem gambling.

We all know what anxiety feels like. We get butterflies in our stomachs, our hearts pound; we worry and fret, or feel jittery. This can happen when we are alone, in social contexts, elevators, in the car, or even just thinking about it. If worries and fears, anxiety, panic, or insomnia related to anxiety are preventing you from living your life the way you’d like, you may be suffering from an anxiety disorder. Anxiety is an emotion characterized by feelings of tension, worried thoughts and physical changes like increased blood pressure. In short it is our body’s response to a perceived threat.
