EMDR Therapists in Albuquerque, NM

If white knuckling, self shaming, and pulling yourself up by your bootstraps worked, you’d be “cured” a billion times over. It doesn’t. At least not for me or people whose brains are different. Our minds race and it feels impossible to turn off and rest. Sometimes we use substances or other behaviors in a harmful way just to get through the day. There’s more to life out there. A more peaceful and meaningful life is possible. We need to go deeper and get to the root of things. I’ll go with you. Unable to take insurance.

I often work with many clients who have been told they are too “sensitive,” or need to “toughen up.” Or maybe they feel exhausted by stimulation or spending time with big groups of people. Up to 20% of our population identify as a highly sensitive person (HSP). Being an HSP also comes with gifts such as deeper empathy, a greater appreciation for art and music, and stronger connections with others. I will give you tools for nurturing and empowering your sensitive self so you can feel comfortable in your own skin.

Your eldering can and should be vibrant and happy. For a long time, we believed development stopped when an individual entered adulthood. This is far from true. Not all the transitions of middle and later life are easy or welcome. No one has to feel depressed, alone, bored, isolated and forgotten. I support individuals, couples, families and caregivers as they navigate the important transitions of later life. Later life is a time of dynamic personal change and growth.

Currently accepting new clients! The thought of finding a therapist you trust, feel safe, and comfortable with can be overwhelming but so is the alternative: living with fear, frustration, uncertainty, and confusion. I'm always amazed at the courage my clients show as they move from a painful existence to one of hope and joy as they gain the tools necessary to create the life they want. Change is Possible! I utilize a systems-based approach with all of my clients, including individuals, couples, and families.

Overcoming challenges in life is a normal process that we all work through on occasion. Perhaps you are experiencing challenges in work, raising children, school, relationships, loss, or social interactions that seem overwhelming, confusing, and frustrating. Maybe you have experienced negative or traumatic events in your life that have resulted in feelings of depression, anxiety, PTSD, or self-defeating behavior. Our beliefs, feelings and behaviors in life are based on both genetic components (what nature provides) and life experiences (from the womb to the present). Sometimes nature and nurture combine to cause us to have thoughts and beliefs that do not work to our benefit.

Perhaps you feel empty, trapped, or lost. Perhaps you can identify the source of this pain, such as a past trauma or a recent loss, or perhaps you cannot and feel that you “should” be happier. Friends and family may have given you well-intentioned but ultimately unhelpful advice: “Just be positive! Just get over it! Be grateful!” Unable to make use of this feedback, you may feel even more isolated, alienated, and misunderstood. You sense that a new, more joyful life could be possible… but somehow it always feels just out of reach. Maybe you are close to giving up altogether and feel resigned to a life of suffering.

Do you feel lost and alone even in a crowd of people? Are you tired of having a life that looks good on paper, but means nothing to you? PTSD, Depression and underlying anxiety can make life unbearable. I can help. The worst part of living with trauma and anxiety is the effect it has on relationships. It can really gut your most precious possessions, your ties to those you love. Isn't it time to let go of shame and that familiar old pain? Shoot me a text at 505-573-2933 and we can set up a time to talk about it.

Starting therapy can be a challenging yet very empowering step to uncovering your true self. My goal in treatment is to empower my clients, provide unconditional positive regard and teach that healing can lead to a more fulfilling and meaningful life. I believe that every client is on their own unique journey. A person-centered approach is a modality I find not only beneficial but necessary to helping individuals thrive and be all they can be.

There are times in life when we all find ourselves needing to heal from a painful past, trying to live in the present moment, and/or struggling to plan for an unsure future. Life can get so hectic that we can feel out of balance. This can contribute to brain health issues such as anxiety, depression, irritability, fatigue, sleep issues, mood and behavior problems. Finding a Counselor/Therapist that is a good fit is crucial. A solid foundation of respect and support is essential. Whether you choose to engage in this work with me or another therapist, know that you are taking an important step forward in your path to wellness.

Perhaps you’re at a point where you are frustrated and tired of starting over with a new therapist. You’re tired of telling your story over and over again and not experiencing any relief. You’re tired of taking all these medications and being numb. And you’re tired of your past trauma disrupting your everyday life. Perhaps you’re wondering if you’re ever going to heal and feel better.

There's a beautiful passage by Jacquelyn Small that sums up the way I view and practice therapy: "When therapeutic relating occurs, both parties have dissolved the boundary between the one needing help and the other offering it; they are simply two beings bouncing off each other in truth; We all just need clear people to bounce off of so we can see our own light." I strongly believe that we're the experts of our own lives and sometimes we just need a safe, non-judgmental person to see us, believe our experiences and remind us that we're deserving and healing is possible.

I'll walk beside you along this new path if you're ready to take the first step. I work mainly with women who can be described as responsible and stoic. Women who take care of others but have a hard time seeking care for themselves. Women who can be their own worst critic, who feel unseen and often sacrifice their comfort to keep things running smoothly. When things have been this way forever it can be hard to imagine a life with enough space to make yourself a priority. If this sounds like you, we can team up to bring ease and well-being into your life. Start a new journey: reach out.

We are an innovative community of unconventional, yet comprehensively trained, psychotherapists providing practical, non-reductive, and in-depth support to help you overcome adversities, resolve outdated patterns, craft more fulfilling relationships, achieve your mental health goals—and address the traumas, stressors, burdens, and conflicts that hold you back from enjoying what your life and relationships have to offer. In general, we foster a holistic and integrative approach to mental health care that focuses on what works and is not limited to what has traditionally been practiced.

By addressing troubling thoughts and feelings, self-sabotaging behaviors, and traumas, life can be made more manageable, productive, and fulfilling. Feelings such as grief, shame, anxiety, sadness, and anger often signal that something needs to change. Listening to and working with these feelings—some that consume us and others that gently nudge us—can move us forward. Through this, we sometimes discover that our everyday dilemmas are part of larger patterns waiting to be resolved as a whole.
