Hi and Welcome. I am an LMFT in New Mexico at Alameda Behavioral Health and IOP, and I work with families, couples, and individuals. Experience has taught me that no two relationships or challenges are the same, and I love using evidence-based methods to help my clients work through obstacles and life changes in ways that fit their lives and their unique strengths. My goal is to provide a safe space of trust where healing and reparation can occur, and where clients can learn to become their most healthy selves.

Personal growth and transformation is a sacred journey. It’s choosing to go beyond our current level of “knowing” to rework and make space for an expanded awareness. An awareness that enables peace, joy, and a deeper anchoring in the beauty of who we really are.
The human experience is filled with difficult, unexpected, and unexplainable experiences that can sometimes leave an imprint that hangs out in our “blind spot” or subconscious as we go forward in life.

You know the road to peace lies both in healing the past, and also moving forward. Addressing trauma feels empowering but overwhelming. Moving forward feels exciting, but potentially superficial. You want a therapist who can do both: heal the past, and take charge of the future. But there's another issue- you don't know which therapist to pick. You've had a bad therapist in the past, or heard about terrible experiences of your friends and family. You want to make sure that whoever you start working with, is professional, responsible, and effective.

Infidelity Therapists
How does therapy for infidelity work?
A skilled infidelity therapist will provide a safe space for clients to communicate their feelings and concerns. The goal is to be completely honest about what led to the cheating and how it has affected the entire family to prevent it from recurring in the future. The therapist will help the clients work on rebuilding mutual trust and respect and developing better communication and conflict-resolution skills. If the goal is to remain a couple, clients will learn the “danger signs” for their specific relationship, and they will make a renewed commitment to be faithful.
How long does therapy for infidelity take?
Recovery from infidelity can take time, and it can vary from person to person. Generally, a therapist will want to see the clients at least once a week for around six months. Then the sessions can be arranged as needed, depending on the clients’ individual needs. While therapy may end or shift to an as-needed basis, it can take up to two years or more for some clients to fully recover from infidelity.
How does therapy help the partner who was cheated on?
When a client discovers their partner’s infidelity, their trust in the relationship and in the life they had together may be shattered. They often experience mental health symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, grief, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). They don’t always want to stay in the relationship; they may feel ambivalent or may even want to leave. Therapy gives these clients a safe and healthy way to communicate all of their complicated emotions and concerns.
How does therapy help the partner who committed infidelity?
Infidelity often occurs when one or both partners’ emotional needs are not being met in the relationship. Therapy can help this client understand why they cheated and figure out how to address those unmet needs without resorting to infidelity in the future. This can lessen (but not entirely eliminate) the risk of repeated infidelity. Clients who cheat may also feel intense guilt about deceiving their partners, a sentiment that they can work through in therapy.
