Therapists in New Mexico

Hi! I am currently accepting new clients. We all experience pain and suffering in our lives, at one point or another, and when we do, many of us aren’t entirely equipped with the tools and skills we need to effectively cope and push forward. Sometimes pain can be resolved within a short amount of time - maybe after a loss or significant change. Sometimes it sticks with us longer and weighs on us more heavily. No matter the case, it is always helpful to talk to someone about our struggles.

In 30 years of professional counseling, I've developed great respect for those of you willing to take the journey into your own inner world. My specialty is working with all aspects of relationship and individual counseling emphasizing communication patterns that block peaceful interaction; sources of conflict and destructive emotional reactions; and creating a plan for growth and healing. Using a unique solution-focused approach, you will gain tools and insights that move you beyond coping to finding long-term effective and exciting ways to live.. The benefit to you is great.

Are you looking for a non-traditional therapist? I integrate my spiritual life coaching training and the practice of art-making into the therapeutic process in a way that honors who you are wholistically. This wholistic approach is based on the psycho-spiritual therapeutic modality, which is grounded in the notion that “the soul is the starting point for balance.” This approach to treatment takes into consideration the WHOLE of who you are, be it physically, emotionally, spiritually, intellectually, culturally, etc. and examines how your lived experiences have impacted your mental health.

I love helping people make changes in their lives. Change can be very challenging whether it is a change you have to make or one that you choose such as leaving a relationship, changing jobs or moving. Although difficult, making changes can be very liberating and satisfying. You may be forced to go beyond your comfort zone and face difficult challenges on the way to changing your life but you will be stronger and wiser at the end. I will be there to support you as you change and grow and become a better, happier and healthier you.

As a licensed mental health counselor, I provide therapy for individuals, couples, and families, I am bilingual and can work with Spanish speaking individuals. As a Latina and a native New Mexican I have a deep understanding of multicultural counseling. People, seeking caring and compassionate therapeutic services, explore various issues in a safe environment. A trusting therapeutic relationship provides the client with a place to heal current and past issues. This empowers them to live with balance and find a sense of inner well-being. I believe in providing a genuine, caring, heart-felt, trusting, relationship, with each person.

I am a dedicated clinician and I strive to create a strong, supportive space for clients who are interested in their inner work. I have worked with clients in severe emotional distress, and also with clients who just feel a need to "find a new path forward". Some of my clients come for brief intensive counseling during a crisis while others to do longer-term work on a quest for self-understanding and freedom from past painful experiences. Couples counseling is also part of my practice. I have extensive psychoanalytic training as well as experience in short-term modalities .

UPDATE 8/2024- All therapy spots currently full, but I do have space for one or two more LMSWs for supervision! I specialize in helping people work through many issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, and relational challenges. I have experience with people of all ages. It has been my honor to work with vulnerable populations including trans folx, unhoused teens and LGBTQIA+ clients. I am a board-approved social work supervisor and provide organized and ethical supervision for non-independently licensed social workers who need supervised hours. I offer a reduced hourly rate for supervision.

When we are struggling to find clarity and trying to cope with life’s struggles, it is important that we feel safe and heard. As a clinician, I offer a confidential, safe, judgment-free space where goals can be processed and coping skills can be learned. My experience working with children, families, adults, and adolescents allows me to be understanding of diverse situations such as trauma, grief, and relationship struggles.

What changes do you want in your life? What's not working anymore? With my down-to-earth optimism and focus on self-care, I help you realize practical solutions that are authentic and heartfelt. I integrate various therapeutic modalities based on your needs, drawing largely from cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, mindfulness and neurobiological perspectives.

You’re someone who values connection and meaningful relationships but still finds yourself struggling to manage your emotions without turning to substances, feeling increasingly isolated from loved ones and social activities. The weight of guilt and shame weighs heavy on your shoulders, making it difficult to reach out for help. But you’re ready to make a change. You’re ready to regain control over your emotions and rebuild your social support network. You’re ready to experience inner peace and authentic connections. Most of all, you’re ready to embrace a life free from the grip of addiction. I want to help you get there.

As of July of 2022 I am not accepting new clients. Hello! I am a licensed therapist and have experience working with individuals, couples, and families. My goal is to provide a safe space that is non-judgmental and compassionate for everyone. It is my passion to help others reach their personal goals, overcome obstacles in a healthy way and become the best version of themselves. Hola! Soy psicoterapeuta y tengo experiencia trabajando con personas individualmente, en pareja o familias enteras. Mi meta es poder ofrecer un espacio seguro, compasivo y sin prejuicios para todos. Todo es confidencial!

My availability for accepting new clients is December 2024. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. My Certifications include EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) and DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy). I have been providing treatment support for two decades. My own trauma history uniquely lends as a conduit to an empathetic healing experience. I earned a BA in Psychology from ENMU-Portales, NM & an MA in Counseling from The University of New Mexico.

In my practice, I provide non-judgmental support, guidance through challenges, and help with building a sense of empowerment. Building therapeutic rapport that allows clients to open up can take time, and I’m able to make space for that. I work best with clients who have experienced problems relating to anxiety, attachment trauma, complex trauma, depression, life transitions, and relationship issues. I work to provide a holding space and allow clients to choose the direction and pace of therapy. I'm open to working with teenagers, though speaking more in-depth about this matter will be important in determining if I'll be a good fit.

I work one on one with clients for the actualization of their potential and the reclaiming of their inherent gifts. Myself, a committed listener. Your life, our work. Together we engage in the process of Integrative Soul Coaching: a unique blend of transformational life coaching, depth soul work and discovery, and subtle energy enhancement. Clients report startling new breakthroughs in their attitude and outlook, mindset, energy level, creativity, spirituality, relationships and health. The result - your life ignites, and you are free to create your self anew and the life you've always truly longed for.

Stressful situations can happen suddenly, or build over time. Whether it is a relationship issue, traumatic experience, life transition, or career challenge, I can help you move from surviving to thriving. Using comprehensive methodologies, I offer a highly personalized approach, tailored to each client. I work with individuals to help them build on their strengths and attain the healing, growth and change they are looking for.
