Male Therapists in Las Cruces, NM

Understanding where our beliefs, feelings, and habits are coming from can be confusing and frustrating.

I will approach our work together with empathy, curiosity, and a sincere interest in your emotional well-being. Our therapeutic relationship can help you to cultivate new perspectives and promote increased insight. Together, we can explore the many layers of your unique self, and gain a deeper understanding of how your thoughts, emotions and behaviors are interconnected.

I have been providing mental health and substance abuse treatment for both adults and adolescents for over 12 years. I currently provide psychotherapy and clinical supervision in the Las Cruces area. I am experienced at treating adults, couples and families and my primary goal is to assist clients in achieving their full potential. I have experience treating depression, anxiety, substance abuse, trauma and loss, relationship difficulties and life change challenges. I believe this is best achieved by building a relationship in a supportive, nonjudgmental partnership that acknowledges the strengths and potential of each individual client that creates a sense of hope.

I am here to help you work through the difficult parts of life and I use an approach knowing that you know yourself better than anyone else. I work best with clients who are willing to make a change in their life. I am very empathetic, caring, and compassionate. I work with trauma, anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, and Autism in children, teens, and adults. I have a humanistic approach but I also keep in mind that one lens will not fit everyone and I can adapt to my client's needs.

Ralph Waldo Emerson said it best, "Nothing ever great was accomplished without Enthusiasm". My passion is not only helping others in a time in need but also treating them with respect and dignity. I hold myself to high standards in maintaining the right of client determination while showing unconditional positive regard for all. My own goal as a therapist is to try to help others feel empowered, restored, and of course enthusiastic each and everyday.

Individuals dealing with personal struggles who have reached a point in time in there life where they have found that the outside world cannot make their lives better and are willing to look within on what needs to change.

As a therapist my driving passions are to help people overcome trauma, de-stigmatize mental health, and advocate for counseling, not just as a means of addressing mental illness but as a tool for self-exploration, healing, and growth. I know that therapy, or any commitment to change for that matter, can be scary and uncomfortable at times but I provide a calming space and an empathetic and unconditionally caring partner in your journey of self-discovery, healing, and growth. I truly believe that counseling can be a means to a better, more satisfying and comfortable life for everyone.

I help you to see your symptoms as a meaningful response to concerns that you have about your life and yourself. I help you become aware of what is keeping you from living the way you want to live. I help you to get clear about what you want in the way of love, work (expressing yourself) and enjoyment of life and to use your thoughts, feelings, intentions, talents and strengths to get on a path towards satisfying those desires. I help people heal from trauma. I don't believe drugs are good treatment and will help you withdraw from them.

Every human being experiences serious, elevated and/or inflamed negative emotionality brought on by unfortunate circumstances, other family members, friends, a co-worker or even a stranger, at some point in their lives. Feelings of anxiety, depression, uncontrolled anger, worry, loneliness, etc., can keep you from easily stepping forward towards experiencing a successful life full of joy, calm, peace and tranquility. It is rare to have this type of emotional stability 100% of the time, but it is easy to experience this serene and soothing overall manner of being most of the time :)

You struggle with emotional or behavioral health issues like depression, anxiety, PTSD, insomnia, and/or anger. You may know or have a child suffering with ADHD, conduct or impulse control. You may feel overwhelmed trying to manage your and your family’s mental health along with other responsibilities and need a psychologist who can collaborate with other care providers, prescribe and monitor medication as needed.

In today's world everyone has issues. Some people work on them and some people don't. I have been a trusted counselor in the Las Cruces area for over 20 years working with individuals and families of various ages and walks of life, children, teens, and adults from everything from Adjustment Disorder to Schizophrenia, Dual Diagnosis to Complicated Grief and Trauma. I am EMDR Part 1 certified. Although I can do video sessions, I require the first session be in person, and prefer local area clientele. I believe therapy is more effective in person.

It's not a sign of weakness to feel overwhelmed. Our lives can be complicated. Sometimes, our feelings and emotions get the best of us. As a result, we can feel confused, sad, disconnected and/or angry. Explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences while in a confidential and comfortable counseling environment. Through the counseling process, you can gain a deeper understanding into your own behaviors, choices and relationships.

Therapy can help people find solutions and reduce their anxiety, depression and daily turmoil, as they learn new ways to deal with life's problems. People experience "problems in living" in their every day lives. Free from judgment or unrealistic expectations, a therapeutic relationship can help deal with life issues. People attempt in inadequate ways to deal with them, and develop symptoms that are unique to them and are sometimes not helpful in dealing with their issues. A therapy relationship is a totally private, non-judgmental and personal relationship to help you deal with the problems in your life.

My theoretical framework is Relational Psychoanalytic Therapy which focuses on assimilating cognitive insight and emotional attachment. Relational analysis focuses on the elements of chronic trauma (CPTSD, anxiety, depression) between feelings, thoughts and behavior while examining the elements of rupture and psychological injury related to developmental derailments & toxic shame. I have extensive training in psychoanalytic therapy.
