In my practice, I provide non-judgmental support, guidance through challenges, and help with building a sense of empowerment. Building therapeutic rapport that allows clients to open up can take time, and I’m able to make space for that. I work best with clients who have experienced problems relating to anxiety, attachment trauma, complex trauma, depression, life transitions, and relationship issues. I work to provide a holding space and allow clients to choose the direction and pace of therapy. I'm open to working with teenagers, though speaking more in-depth about this matter will be important in determining if I'll be a good fit.

I work with my clients to understand their concerns holistically and to help clients and families find solutions that will improve their lives. I have experience with adults and teens going through life transitions, anxiety, depression, anger, self-esteem, grief, job transitions, divorce, pet bereavement and managing chronic pain. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy.

Therapy is a place where clients should feel comfortable and safe. It is for this reason that I will meet you where you are at, and I encourage my clients to move at a pace they are comfortable with. I have experience with working with a wide variety of populations, from children, to teens, to adult individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, and trauma.

BeMeBetter is accepting new clients. Specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and a certified Financial Social Worker, I work with individuals struggling with affective disorders (depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma) and financial stress affecting overall wellbeing. I particularly enjoy helping Veterans, their family members, and adolescents struggling with school performance or phase of life problems.

I have been a licensed social worker since July 2017, but I have been helping New Mexico military families, Veterans, aging population and the homeless for over 12 years. As a military veteran, I understand the struggles with adapting to civilian life, and have experience working with substance abuse, trauma, depression, anxiety, chronic pain and coping with stress. I love working with tweens and teens and I have experience with couples and family therapy.

EMDR since 2003. Traditional talk therapy often DOES NOT uncover and address the actual past complexities and traumas of a person's life that continue to have emotional effects causing present day anxiety, stress and depression. I offer Attachment Focused EMDR in an effective format which connects to the underlying memories that repeatedly surface blocking access to a sense of well being and healthier outlook. My form of therapy decreases the charge connected to negative experiences and moves clients into a more objective and positively focused framework (Parnell, 2007). I also offer grief intervention within an EMDR structure.

I have been working with individuals and groups in a variety of capacities for over 25 years. I offer a compassionate approach to self-exploration, healing and transformation. Trained in solution-focused, mindfulness and strength-based therapies, I have a holistic, integrative style and am enthusiastic about helping you uncover and live out of your best self.

I have a long history of working with children and families. I treat children of all ages and adults. I address attachment issues, academics, oppositional defiance, grief, loss and trauma. This is often complicated and usually requires the involvement of the whole family. I love working with children and find that there are always solutions and ways to accommodate the most difficult situations. I use a variety of modalities including play therapy which includes sand tray, art and a variety of other ways for self expression for children .

Accepting new telehealth clients. I have been working with families since 2017. In that time I have had the opportunity to work with families who are experiencing both physical and emotional trauma, homlessness and drug addictions. I enjoy working with parents, children, tweens, and teens. The world is full of stressful situations and life has it's ups and downs, during these moments we could all use some help and guideance in learning how to cope in a healthy way. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with an endorsement in Infant Mental Health and a Certified Case Manager. Lets work together to make life as enjoyable as you can.

Are you feeling stressed, stuck in old patterns, or seeking new solutions to help you grow and feel better? Everybody faces challenges in life that can be difficult to navigate alone. Reaching out for help is a powerful choice towards a happier, healthier you. In my practice, I value creating a space for collaboration that is safe to express thoughts and feeling while also exploring new ways to approach them. Trust, compassion, and genuineness are also cornerstones for effective work together. I bring expertise and support to help you build new skills and insights to improve your life.

I enjoy helping people who want to change. I understand we all get "stuck". I believe that connection is a necessary part of treatment. Clients describe me as “warm, honest, direct, open, helpful and flexible.” I take a no-nonsense approach to therapy. I have been on both sides of the therapy “couch” and know what it is like to share your inner-most fears, secrets, and goals with a therapist. I do not expect your trust. I will earn it. I believe therapy is a two-way street, and I will work with you. There is no magic or mystery, I will let you know what I think and how I can help.

I'm am interested in working with individuals, couples, and families who are committed to their own personal growth, healing, and well being. I help people who have hit one of life's many unpredictable speed bumps and need help to go over it, increase their vibrational frequency, capacity for joy, and get on with their wild and precious lives.

As a therapist, I believe that I am in a unique position to facilitate healing, promote personal growth and esteem, and teach effective "life skills". I encourage my client to discover and build upon their strengths, which empowers them to move forward to lead constructive and satisfying lives. I recognize that making the decision to come to therapy, whether it be in an crisis, or to address long standing concerns, can be difficult. The environment I provide for my clients conveys an attitude of respect that not only reflects that awareness but also facilitates the development of trust.

Hi! I am a Native New Mexican and love New Mexico’s rich culture. I have a masters and bachelors in social work, so I am well versed in the theory of person in environment. I ensure the knowledge I have acquired reinforces my morals, values, and professional experiences with the individuals and families I support. Social work is a way of life not just a profession which I practice daily.

I am a licensed mental health counselor with a passion for guiding individuals through their unique journeys towards personal growth and self-discovery.

Most people just want to be heard. They want to know that someone is listening to them and someone cares. Further, most of us contain the answers to our questions. We simply need someone to support us and remind us of our great worth and value. Within this environment of support we are able to discover within ourselves what we have been lacking, where we are in need and what will improve our lives. You are capable, you can do this! I wish to congratulate you on coming this far, you are not alone and there is not something “wrong” with you. Actually, there are some great attributes within or you would not have had the courage.

Maybe you have kids that you want to raise together in a happy home, and you want this relationship to work. We see you, we understand where you’re at, and you’re not alone anymore. Let's work together to start healing your relationship and family.
