Therapists in Dona Ana County, NM
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.

My clients bring in a range of issues and have varying ideas of what they would like to change about themselves and/or their lives -- but they all have one thing in common, and that is motivation for change. Therapy can, and should, be a place for self-reflection and self-improvement and I am here to support that process. While a lot of my experience has been with children/adolescents and mood disorders, I approach every client with an open mind and heart, and strive to always create a safe and inviting space.

I am honored to have the experience of holding people's most painful moments, helping them in processing and moving forward with courage and hope. I use an integrative, non-judgmental approach to my therapy that can include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a well researched modality used to process trauma. I also utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness and communication training that will give you specific strategies to help you take what you learn in session and apply these tools in your day-to-day life. Please note: I only offer online therapy.

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.

My approach to therapy encompasses the whole person: body, mind, spirit, community, culture, ancestors, and relationship to place. I believe in the innate wisdom in each person, and I seek to provide a safe container and gentle guidance to allow that wisdom to emerge and guide the healing journey. I work primarily with somatic, mindfulness, and parts-work modalities while also drawing on my experience in eco-therapy. Sessions support you in diving deep while feeling supported. Sessions take place online, in office, at the horse ranch, or in the forest depending on your needs and goals.

Therapy is a strange and uniquely wonderful thing that can be intimidating. However, I believe that through a holistic approach that takes into account the bio-psycho-social aspects of the individual, we can decrease the discomfort. I practice in using evidence-based treatment modalities while striving for a direct and transparent working relationship.

We all know what anxiety feels like. We get butterflies in our stomachs, our hearts pound; we worry and fret, or feel jittery. This can happen when we are alone, in social contexts, elevators, in the car, or even just thinking about it. If worries and fears, anxiety, panic, or insomnia related to anxiety are preventing you from living your life the way you’d like, you may be suffering from an anxiety disorder. Anxiety is an emotion characterized by feelings of tension, worried thoughts and physical changes like increased blood pressure. In short it is our body’s response to a perceived threat.

Relationships shape us. The experience of being seen, accepted, and understood by another is a basic human need that when not met can lead to feelings of isolation, loneliness, and other painful emotions. Transformation and healing happen in the moment and in the context of relationships. My approach is open, compassionate, non-pathologizing, relational, & somatic. Rooted in mindfulness, IPNB, & the body/mind connection, our work will also be infused with a healthy dose of humor when appropriate. I support people seeking to heal intergenerational trauma & grief & to weave authentic connections with themselves and with loved ones.

Do you want to live more joyfully and to have better relationships? Are you living with depression, anxiety or unhealthy habits that interfere with your motivation and ability to act decisively, respond creatively, and connect more authentically with others? If so, you are not alone. Changes in our work, health, and relationships often create a personal crisis, which invites us to examine and confront aspects of ourselves that no longer serve us in order to learn, grow, and move forward with our lives in a new way. This can be challenging work and it is often helpful to have an ally.
