Are you a woman struggling with your current life situation? Are you experiencing sadness, anxiety, and stress? You want to get to the root of your problems, but keep repeating the same patterns. Are you tired of feeling stuck and unsettled? Maybe you’re struggling in your job or relationships. Maybe you wish you could stop feeling sad and tired. You might have unresolved trauma you need to work through. You're ready for healing and change. You're ready to experience joy in your life again.
My approach
Women come to me looking for a therapist who has tools to help them relieve depression, anxiety, and stress by getting to the root of the issue.
My focus
As an experienced therapist, I believe that living a peaceful life where you have control of your reactions is available for everyone. You don't have to continue feeling like your emotions are controlling you. You are not alone, there is a way out and I can show you.
My communication style
Therapy is a place where you can feel safe and understood. Sessions with me are at your pace and used to examine what is happening in your mind and body and explore how the past has affected you.
My journey to mental healthcare
I graduated in 2000 with a Master's Degree in Social Work from the University of Oklahoma and started my therapy career. I took several years off to raise a family and even started a local nonprofit that serves under-resourced students and families in Albuquerque. I have returned to this work out of my love for sharing what I have learned about emotional regulation and my desire to be a safe, nonjudgemental space for those who are struggling. There have been many advances in the field in the last 20 years. I am really excited about the research that has been done on the brain, the nervous system, and trauma, and the effective treatments resulting from that research.
My goals for you
Together we will decide where you are and where you are wanting to go. We will set realistic goals together as a team. I will not push you farther than you want to go. I will let you decide what success together looks like.
My first session with you
In our first session, we will spend some time getting to know each other. We'll talk about what therapy looks like and approaches I may use to work with you along the way. We'll work together on a picture of what health and peace in your life would look like.
