Therapists in Santa Fe, NM

For adult clients, I provide support and insight around life transitions, anxiety, purpose and self esteem. Sometimes we find ourselves in the midst of chaos, unable to see a path forward toward clarity and purpose. Therapy can provide a container for gaining motivation, insight, and creative strategies to enhance our overall quality of life. For children and adolescents, I provide a safe space for exploring behavior and identity issues. Children and adolescents often come into therapy feeling overwhelmed, and leave feeling that they have the tools to be able to organize and resolve their distress.

Most of us want more from our lives than just the absence of symptoms. To thrive, we need meaning, purpose, pleasure, connection with others, and a healthy relationship with the self. If you're here, you already know how to survive. I'd like to help you resolve issues that are getting in the way of having the life you want, whether that's a traumatic past, mental health symptoms, or trouble with relationships. I am queer, sex-positive, body-neutral, and affirming of your identities.

Friends and family aren't always the best place to turn when life gets difficult. That's where we come in. No matter what might be going on in your life, call us and we'll connect you to a caring mental health provider. Or if you'd prefer, fill out our Client Contact Form on our website, and one of our staff will contact you by the end of the next business day.

The purpose of counseling and psychotherapy is to help individuals embrace healthy life choices through self-understanding and self-awareness. Counseling helps clients/patients identify the causes of stress and to find meaningful and fulling remedies for their life situations, in a safe and supportive atmosphere.

For each of us, life is not without change, loss, transition, even trauma, and the emotional difficulties that result. And we heal and transform by way of supportive connection, internally, environmentally, and relationally. I am inspired by the subtle ways in which providing a safe, compassionate and nonjudgmental space allows for a client’s inner wisdom, insights, and empowerment to emerge and for life’s transitions to be eased. I work to provide a sanctuary to process, be witnessed in, and build helpful skills for dealing with loss & grief, transition, emotional distress such as anxiety and depression, and trauma.

I have been in practice in New Mexico for 23 years, treating depression, anxiety, relationships, and life changes. I am continuing to do video and telephonic sessions for individuals. I like to use a listening, supportive stance with clients to help them feel comfortable in talking about their problems. Some of the techniques I use are mindfulness, regulating emotions, relationship skills, tolerating distress, and mind/body techniques. I believe that therapy works, and is worth the time, effort, and money you put into it.

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.

As an eclectic psychotherapist, I use many approaches, and have an ability to be deeply present with your experiences. I offer grounded, thoughtful, creative, playful, kind, and compassionate support. My desire is to assist you through challenges and help you find balance and healing. My mirror of reflection is through 15 years work in community mental health, with wide ranging mental health and addiction issues. I've experienced oneness, Christ Consciousness, transpersonal, and non-ordinary states, yet also my own drama and occasional trauma. I am here to help raise awareness, create options, and facilitate you finding your way.

Sometimes life presents us with challenges that we never dreamed of facing, or it seems that all of a sudden, those who we thought would always be there for us are not. Sometimes we feel as though there is something greater that we should be doing with our lives. Intrinsically, you have the answers; sometimes you just need help in getting to them. Perhaps it's time to allow yourself to find your way back home - to your authentic Self.

The depth of relationship, confidence and trust you build with your therapist is fundamental to the work of therapy. I am here to support and guide you in a process of discovery and wellness, helping you to build strength and clarity, overcome obstacles and develop skillful and creative ways to be in relationship and live well and authentically. My approach is eclectic, I offer EMDR and trauma focused therapy, depth psychology and expressive therapies. Our work together will help you heal from pain, trauma and abuse, relieve anxiety and depression, and work through relationship issues, life transitions and creative blocks.

I have been a practicing psychotherapist since 1992. As one can imagine, my treatment approach has changed and evolved during that period of time. I am a depth, existential therapist, and work with adults who are experiencing a life crisis or transitional phase in their lives. My hope is that clients who enter my office will feel a sense of calm and acceptance, and find a place where they can express their deepest truths and concerns without judgement. I incorporate dreamwork in my practice, and have attended Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara furthering my training in dreamwork.

Forty years as a depth psychotherapist, with wisdom gleaned from C.G. Jung and yogic principles, has given me the skills to help people find their own path to meaning, self-awareness, balance and authenticity. Through careful exploration of memory, fears and dreams, I help clients work toward well-being by helping them understand psychic wounds, abandon outmoded patterns of self-protection, and apply useful strategies for handling the inevitable conflicts of daily life.

Our mission is to inspire healthier communities by normalizing the treatment of our most sensitive needs. Let us begin a journey of discovery and self-exploration toward the transformative power of your brain. Together we will work to challenge the cognitive, emotional and behavioral patterns that keep you from moving forward. Let us support you as you discover your innate capacity for healing, insight and transformation.

Healing and learning can only happen when we feel safe, when all parts of ourselves can be seen and are welcome. My goal is to provide the safety to help patients reconnect with parts of themselves that have been rejected. In order for desired changes to occur, a new orientation towards oneself and one's problems is needed. I aim to bring compassionate curiosity in acknowledging and honoring whatever arises for patients and encouraging self-acceptance.

I have been a practicing psychotherapist since 1982. I have worked in a variety of settings and am comfortable treating individuals, couples, and families. I especially enjoy working with older adolescents/young adults struggling with self-identity issues that can include co-occurring disorders. Strong background in treating substance use disorders. I also specialize in anger related issues with concomitant mood disorders.

My office is a safe place to talk about difficult things with no judgement, no matter who you are. Loneliness, worry, grief, loss, alcohol/drug misuse, and sadness are very common feelings and experiences. We all attempt to find relief from such pain and sometimes the relief is helpful but not necessarily healthy. I collaboratively work with people, including professionals in the helping field, to experience their discomfort with far more ease by using sound therapeutic modalities and coping skills. Along the way I will also help you realize that you are far more resourceful and capable than you may currently believe.
