Hello, and welcome. Would you like to develop deeper insight, self compassion, and re-connect to creativity? You might be triggered by past trauma, experiencing grief, anxiety, loneliness, or seeking tools for communication in relationships. These are common issues that bring people to therapy. My intention is to provide space, time, and creative outlet for you to process your thoughts, sensations, and emotions. I work with a diversity of adults experiencing relationship issues, grief, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and those seeking inner growth. Challenges, though difficult, may be stepping stones towards change.

Therapy with me is a place to slow down, listen deeply, and reconnect with your aliveness. Many of the struggles people bring to therapy—anxiety, depression, numbness, grief, or boundary issues—are not signs that something is wrong. They are meaningful adaptations that once helped you survive, but now keep you stuck in patterns that suppress your vitality and capacity to feel connected to yourself and others. At its core, my work is about helping you reconnect with what is true, alive, and innate within you—so you can move through the world with greater presence, authenticity, and inner freedom.

Change and impermanence are the great constants in our lives. If you are in a time of transition, and are experiencing symptoms such as depression, anxiety, health issues, or relationship concerns, I would like to meet with you. I hold a Ph.D.in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in depth psychology. I bring a psychodynamic and relational perspective to consultations with adults of all ages. With mindfulness and compassion, we create together a safe and confidential alliance for exploration of old limitations and emerging possibilities.

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.

Do you feel like you are waiting for your real life to start?
I love talking through an existential crisis or sitting with thoughts and feelings you might think are unacceptable to share. In my view, real life begins when we see our dreams and fears for what they are, start taking responsibility for the choices we do have, and allow ourselves to begin feeling this life more fully.

A significant piece of feedback I get from clients is that they not only look forward to our appointments, but it feels truly conversational and as if talking to a friend. I am not going to be textbooky, instead you are going to get a person who can relate, be real, and also highlight what you're already doing well and ways to tweak towards progress. I am a dedicated ally for the LGBTQ+ community and committed to engaging in open, honest conversations about anti-racism and politics.

Your intimate relationship can be one of the most important sources of joy, satisfaction and fulfillment in your life. However, issues may arise which upset that original harmony, and if left unaddressed, lead to a negative pattern of quarreling, difficult communication, and a loss of connection, trust and intimacy. In some cases, this negative spiral can further lead to depression, substance/behavioral addictions, or even an affair. I can provide you with the effective tools for identifying, addressing and resolving those challenging issues, and help you co-create a renewed sense of connection, intimacy and sacred partnership.

My ideal client is ready to understand their patterns and is seeking meaningful, deliberate change. Many are navigating chronic illness (including cancer), major life transitions, midlife shifts, or identity redefinition. They want practical daily coping tools while reconnecting with hope, fulfillment, and a sense of stability in everyday life. Goals often include deeper self-acceptance, authentic self-expression, and building stronger, more secure relationships. I work collaboratively, supporting your self-exploration rather than “fixing.” Many clients come feeling stuck and want to live with greater intention, clarity, and connect

Meditation, mindfulness, guided imagery, and EMDR are some of the techniques I utilize most. I look forward to meeting and working with you!

My approach is warm and present. I trust in your judgment in the therapeutic process, and view each individual as the expert in their own life. I’ve worked in the mental health field in Northern New Mexican communities for a decade.
My approach is trauma informed, strengths based, and includes EMDR, family systems therapy, somatic mindfulness, narrative therapy, and techniques from Gabor Mate’s Compassionate Inquiry approach. I use humor when it fits. I believe our relationships with nature, community, spirituality, and creativity can be primary parts of the healing process.

I offer person-centered therapy grounded in mindful awareness, Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and EMDR with a somatic and attachment-based focus.
Our minds shape every moment of our lives—and therapy offers a unique opportunity to engage with the mind in a healing, transformative way. But the mind isn't just thoughts and feelings; it's also our bodies, relationships, culture, work, memories, imagination, and vision for the future. Therapy can help us make sense of these many parts of ourselves, fostering integration and a more nourishing experience of life.

Is attachment-based therapy the same as attachment therapy?
Attachment-based therapy may be confused with what is called “attachment therapy” (sometimes called “holding therapy”), a discredited and dangerous approach to treating children with attachment disorders, autism, or other mental health concerns. Attachment therapy—not attachment-based therapy—may involve restraining a child, forcing eye contact, and other coercive or abusive techniques. None of these practices are used in attachment-based therapy and the two modalities are in no way related.
What should I expect from attachment-based therapy?
Attachment-based therapy is based on attachment theory, which posits that children’s early relationships with their caregivers strongly influence their ability to navigate the world later in life. Thus, adults who seek attachment-based therapy should expect to deeply explore their childhood, identifying the dynamics or experiences that disrupted their attachment and the steps necessary to overcome challenges that arose as a result. Parents and children should expect to explore the possible factors that disrupted the parent-child relationship and work toward restoring trust and connection.
How long does attachment-based therapy last?
Certain forms of attachment-based therapy, especially those designed for parents and children, last for a set number of sessions; for example, Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-Up, a specific attachment-based approach for young children who have undergone early adversity, unfolds over 10 one-hour sessions. When attachment-based therapy is practiced on adults or combined with other modalities, it may not last a specific length of time; clients may wish to ask prospective therapists how long they expect treatment to take.
Does attachment-based therapy work?
Most of the research on attachment-based therapy focuses on children and adolescents. Some of this research shows a positive effect, especially for attachment-based family therapy (ABFT). Other studies, however, have found that attachment-based therapy is no more effective than other approaches to childhood depression, anxiety, or suicidality. Less is known about the therapy’s efficacy on adult populations.
