Therapists in Santa Fe, NM

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 am a licensed, Ph.D. psychologist with over twenty-five years of experience. I am currently specializing in adults and older adults. Whether you are having serious problems, dealing with end-of-life issues, or just want to get more pleasure from life, my approach can help you. As a seasoned psychologist, I am dedicated to creating a safe, easy environment for you to heal and grow.

Within our current cultural paradigm, many individuals face heightened levels of stress, problematic substance use, and strained relationships. Social discourse regarding drug use, gender identity, and disability can cause negative self perception and aggravate rather than alleviate these distresses. As a counselor with lived experience, I promote a critically informed, empathetic and creatively embodied therapeutic practice that can help individuals better navigate such distressing experiences while developing the insights and skills to thrive despite our collective experience within oppressive systems.

I see wonderful results with the unique Unified Mindfulness System that I incorporate into my work. I bring to my work my own personal healing of a serious binge eating disorder/sugar addiction and other issues of suffering. I am also a researcher and involved with neuroscientists at the University of Arizona SEMA Lab and the Medical University of South Carolina, researching my innovative addiction/negative behavior change protocol. I have worked with seemingly hopeless individuals who have transformed their lives with my therapeutic approach. I offer my services out of a great sense of passion and deepest gratitude.

Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? Do you want to try something different to turn your life around? Do the words 'I'm Stuck' keep playing over and over again inside your mind? As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, previously, I have worked in a community mental health setting for many years. I am skilled to handle any situation which may come my way; however, I would have to say that I am most skilled at working with clients who suffer from Anxiety Disorders and Trauma.

I've been involved in the social service/mental health field since 07. My experience and career of assisting other ranges from working at a homeless shelter to incarcerated youth to Adult Inpatient Psych to One on one/Group General Mental Health concerns. Many of client concerns that I have assisted range from past/present trauma events, distorted view of self, and substance abuse and life transitions and cognitive distortions and depressed/anxious mood and etc. All with the goal of seeking some form of peace and balance in their lives.

Do you feel anxious? Depressed? We are living in a very unstable world right now and so feeling grounded and centered is especially challenging. Stressful times like these activate our nervous systems and can awaken old traumas, fears, and anxiety and can cause depression. Finding that place inside where you are fundamentally okay no matter what is happening, is essential to the happy, healthy life you desire and so deserve. Believe it or not, it is possible. It also helps you be a more positive force in the world, rather than feeling like a victim of circumstances.

Are you suffering because your life is out of balance? If you are, your relationships have probably deteriorated and you may feel depressed, anxious, tense and irritable. Even your relationship with your self may be suffering. These emotions are telling you that your psychological system is out of balance and adjustments need to be made. Whether you are single, in a relationship, or in a family system, I will help you to identify where these imbalances are happening for you and we will work together to establish harmony and restore health and wellbeing to your personal or family system.

My intention, as I walk on the healing path with my clients, is to empower self love. We are worthy, throughout our entire life cycle, of receiving all that life has to offer. Symptoms are connected to layers of shame and distrust built up over time through trauma and false programming. Once we understand the patterns that keep us trapped in our symptoms and heal the trauma that activated those patterns, we can make the choice to actively love ourselves and create the life of our dreams.

I am a mental health counselor with a deep interest in helping clients live the life they envision! Do you feel tired from hearing the same critical beliefs about yourself? Are these beliefs keeping you from living the life you want? Do you feel trapped by painful memories or emotions? Do you know you were meant to live differently but just don't know how to get there from here? If so, I can help you gain clarity about what you want and together we can pave the path that leads in the direction of your hopes and goals.

When a client brings their narrative and their struggles, I want to provide them a respectful and compassionate space to express emotions. Clients who have difficulty with depression, life transitions and anxiety are my specialty, especially bringing clarity during scary and uncertain times.

I offer deep therapy based on attachment theory and communication skills development, depending on your needs, to engage you (and/or your partner) in a meaningful and heartfelt exploration of your life support needs. Move past limiting thoughts and behaviors and develop deeper connections. Clients have said that they appreciate my non-judgmental, yet direct approach. My response - "I am in your corner, routing for you". It takes courage but once you embark on this journey you will say, "Why didn't I do this sooner"?

The most important aspect of my work - and its deepest expression - lies in listening. My job is to "hear" you - to listen for what is being said and what is not, for who and what are in the room, for who and what are absent. What part or parts of you have a voice? What part or parts have been silenced? This deep listening process will lead us to those specific therapeutic modalities most appropriate for your growth and well being - what will best serve you at this stage in your life's journey. I also remain aware of any previous or early wounding that may be preventing you from moving forward or living a more fulfilling life.

*I am not currently accepting new clients.* It takes courage to search for a new therapist. If you are looking through these profiles, there is a resilient, healthy part of you that's ready for change. You may be seeking relief, support, and healing for yourself or a loved one. Entering therapy is a profound act of self-love and self-respect. Times of crisis can be gateways beckoning you to a new path of growth, insight, meaning, and actualization. You don't have to walk on this path alone!
