Marriage Counseling Therapists in Bernalillo, NM

I like to direct our attention away from what is wrong with people toward what can be improved between people. This leads to a lot of philosophical reflection, and laughter. (In fact I am writing a book about the philosophy of humor, and how it shows up in therapy.)

Are you feeling anxious or overwhelmed and struggling with intrusive negative thoughts and not sure why? Do you have muscle tension, tightness in the chest, or have difficulty sleeping at night? I love the therapy process and am committed to helping people patiently address their past trauma and begin to live more fully in the present moment. I believe that therapy can help build skills for people who are navigating the transformation of difficult life circumstances into meaningful life experiences. I am devoted to providing a safe environment for resolving conflicts and developing skills through compassion, warmth, and humor.

Conveniently located in Albuquerque's West Side, we specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, domestic violence, women's issues, and relationships. We believe that the most important aspect of therapy is the client's relationship with the therapist - the client needs to trust the therapist and feel comfortable. Our initial goal is to create an atmosphere of safety. Sometimes it is necessary to access guidance from a professional outside of the current situation in order to assist in gaining perspective.

Feeling self-conscious, restless, and intimidated in the therapy office? Community-based Adventure Therapy may be right for you! I offer to meet you at home, in nature, or wherever is most convenient and conducive to emotional healing. An indoor office space and teletherapy are also available as needed. I specialize in working with young women, families, couples, and LGBTQIA2S+ identified people, especially regarding identity struggles and building healthier relationships with self and others.

Do you feel lost, confused or stuck, trying your best, but things never seem to change or get better? Do you feel so panicked, nervous or sad, that just getting through your day is a struggle? Are you a parent that has tried everything you can think of to help your child but nothing seems to be working? I understand how just getting out of bed in the morning can take all of your energy or how anxiety or difficult experiences from the past can make you terrified to take the next step. It can be hard to trust someone after being hurt and talking to a counselor may seem scary. However, things can get better!

I understand that no one chooses to develop a substance use disorder. Instead, individuals who become dependent on substances are coping with life circumstances to the best of their ability.
