Life often creates challenges that affect our overall wellbeing. One way to navigate through those challenges is seeking counseling services. I understand that it can be difficult. Therefore, I focus on making the process as easy as possible. I work with clients who have a large range of issues, such as depression, anxiety, trauma, behavioral issues, and so much more. I want to be able to create a supportive environment so that we can work together on getting to the root of the problem and how to overcome it. I want to be able to help support and facilitate the journey to a greater wellbeing.

Choosing to go to therapy can be an overwhelming decision, and finding a therapist that you can feel comfortable to open up to about the deeper things can be daunting. Don't over think it, just be proud that, in this moment, you have become self aware enough to want to take the time to work on yourself and become a person with the capacity to heal and grow.

Hi all, I have been practicing therapy in New Mexico for the past 15 years. I graduated from the University of Minnesota in 2007 with a BA in psychology and graduated from NMSU in 2009 with an MA in counseling psychology. I see clients for individual therapy and couples therapy and have had my own private practice for the past 5 years. I work with people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar, or personality disorders. Couples therapy is often conducted through the lens of attachment styles, family of origin dynamics, and clarification of identity.

Are you struggling communicating and understanding how you feel, or experiencing anxiety in different situations? If you are a parent, are your children feeling like they can never make a good, positive choice? Do your children feel that school is the worst place because they get too frustrated and give up trying; or that home is no longer a safe place to share their thoughts and feelings because no one understands them?

Female Therapists

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?

Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?

It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
