Therapists in New Mexico

I am a bilingual, licensed psychotherapist with 28 years of experience. My training includes graduating from programs in the USA, Mexico and Argentina. I integrate different modalities to help clients find relief from psychological pain, as well as find meaning and purpose in their lives. I am also a cancer survivor who has successfully dealt with these issues in my life.

My offerings come as a seasoned practitioner and a Jungian Analyst from the C.G. Jung Institute in Colorado, I love working with clients who want to explore and make needed changes in the behavioral patterns that are no longer serving them in their lives and relationships. Together we can create an environment that safely holds the space for deep self exploration of defended wounds that are often manifested as addictions, anxiety, fear, depression and dissociative reactions; while working toward self-acceptance, non-judgement and the transpersonal retrieval of mind, body and soul.

Qualified to provide individual, couples, and family therapy. My Master's in Clinical Psychotherapy emphasized the Psychodynamic approach, which means the therapeutic relationship is the catalyst for deeper healing. (It's the therapeutic modality of Attachment Theory). Practically speaking, our relationship is grist for the mill and practice so you can take what you learn in our connection out into the relationships of your life. My approach can be summed up as deepening self-awareness, developing life-affirming skills, and practicing intentional responses.

Hello! As we face life's challenges we often need professional assistance. I look forward to helping you discern and address challenges you are facing now, such as anger, grief, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, transitions that leave you needing to find new balance and meaning, or perhaps longstanding challenges. I am here to help. Our psyche invites us to an unfolding process. Becoming more conscious enables us to make choices about ways to move forward. The time is now. I am privileged to meet you where you are now to collaborate on a comprehensive plan for treatment. Let's talk.

I am a transpersonal psychologist, expressive arts therapist, wellness counselor, shamanic teacher and healer, and Reiki Master of the Usui lineage. I have practiced and taught since 1985 in California, Oregon, and New Mexico, sharing life lessons and healing methods that saved my life long ago. I have a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology and a PhD in Transpersonal Psychology, and continue to learn new approaches to healing through my own research, as well as interaction with clients and colleagues.

The time is now. Today is the day to remember that it's just one moment at a time, one breath at a time. Taking a moment to reconnect with the feeling centers inside in a safe and calm way. Through talk therapy and non-judgmental creative exploration with color, texture, earth based materials, 2-D/3-D elements,etc., we can work on processing, communication and strengthening your personal tools for everyday living. I also have over 20 years of experience with women’s counseling, prenatal/postnatal counseling, birth coaching, nutritional counseling, and multicultural & diversity counseling.

With over 30 years of experience serving as a therapist to children, adolescents and adults, I work from an integrative perspective and rely on a broad range of techniques including psychodynamic, transpersonal, somatic experiencing and family systems interventions. I often integrate traditional therapeutic approaches with coachiing techniques depending on your unique needs and goals. As a serious student of shamanism for more than 20 years, I combine these contemporary methods with ancient indigenous wisdom to support a connection to your heart, your inner wisdom, and your personal power.

I use both a psychological and spiritual lens to assist people in addressing spirituality and existential angst; mood and anxiety conditions; trauma/abuse issues; codependence; family of origin baggage; grief and loss; life transitions; addictions.

“I am a licensed archetypal art therapist inspired to work with individuals and couples who are interested in their personal evolution and expanding consciousness to resolve issues.

Are you a man or woman of any age who is experiencing some transitions in your life that seem far too challenging or overwhelming and are becoming obstacles to moving forward?

I am a warm and engaged therapist and bring a deep curiosity and playfulness as well as deep listening and feeling to our process. I have over 30 years of training and experience in the field of clinical and depth psychology. Whether you are an individual or couple, struggling with communication issues or reevaluating your relationship needs and history, I bring an engaged and informed perspective to our work together. I am extensively trained in early attachment, relational trauma, sexuality and intimacy and bring a compassionate collaborative presence to the therapeutic process.

My approach to therapy is psychodynamic. Finding a sense of purpose in order to fulfill one's destiny is the goal of all therapy. Creating and discovering a sense of meaning as well as removing obstacles to self realization are the focus of the process. I work with issues of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and trauma as well as focusing on the means to achieve peace in relationships. Working through the experience of trauma is often facilitated by a partnership where trust is built between therapist and client. I am experienced in treating issues of grief.

Are you experiencing fear, loneliness, anger, grief, chronic illness, or pain? Maybe you're transitioning or feeling un-rooted, on an edge, lost, anxious, and/or addicted? Our identities and perspectives are informed by how we relate to and make sense of these, and our other human, experiences. Knowledge of that we call 'self' is a continual and creative process, and includes integration of the unconscious - the parts of the psyche yet unknown to us. I help clients find focus and relax preconceived notions of how growth and healing occurs. This allows one to learn from their symptoms in order to ease suffering - to hold paradox.
