~ I AM NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS.~ Sometimes we know happiness and peace in life. At other times, life hurts! Whether your pain began with loss, illness, injury, or unwanted thoughts and emotions, I will work with you to build a path from suffering to well being. Over a 35 year period I have offered psychotherapy in private practice, taught psychology in a medical school, served as CEO of a non-profit behavioral health agency.

Offering EMDR and comprehensive talk therapy. Are you seeking support to enhance motivation, feeling “stuck,” facing relationship challenges, life transitions, strengthening self-esteem, or other concerns? Utilizing my blended-method approach, I can help you heal from events, symptoms, behaviors, and other barriers that may be holding you back. I am here to assist you on your healing journey, deepen your relationship with yourself and others, and develop greater self-awareness.

I believe in the brilliance, authentic gifts and simple presence of every person. We are all whole and enough as we are. We use awareness in relationship of the body, mind, emotions, and, if it is right for you, spirit, with mindfulness, and curiosity, with other effective modalities, to find balance, increased resilience, support, hope and empowerment. What's held inside is given voice and expression in order to have more choices and a fuller experience of life. I believe in the value of small steps with support, and I hold a deep trusting container for understanding, compassion and transformation.

When we feel heard, seen, and understood, healing and growth are possible. I am here to create a safe space for you, or you and your partner, to explore and work with the struggles that are leading you to seek therapy. Most of us enter into partnership with the best intentions; we want to feel mutually satisfied, secure and supported in our relationship. After some time, old patterns take hold and we can find ourselves feeling disconnected, confused, or insecure in relationship. Therapy can help you get unstuck by offering an experience of being supported in ways that are uniquely tailored to help the growth of you and your partner.

Are you ready for change? I welcome your call to see if my collaborative therapy approach is right for you. Research and experience suggest that it is our therapeutic relationship that matters most to the counseling process, not technique. I have a highly personalized, warm responsive style and offer a range of holistic approaches from solution-focused strategies and interventions to mindfully exploring the depths of interpersonal relationships and existential dilemmas. My goal as a therapist is to support you in finding and answering the questions inside you while feeling held and free.

I am licensed in both New Mexico and California. I have experience woke with Military personnel and their families. My therapy style integrates elements from a psychodynamic, humanistic approach, including gestalt, ENDR and behavioral health as well as spirituality and grief counseling. I believe in developing a treatment plan that fits the individuals needs while also taking into consideration the time of life that the person may be in. I have a commitment to the process of self-growth and that of self-discovery that can take place at any age and time. My practice includes individuals as well as couples.

I help individuals and couples better understand, trust, and communicate their emotions, needs, and longings. Our emotions, even the painful ones, provide us with important information about what we need and where we should be headed. At times we dismiss our own inner wisdom in an attempt to fit in, keep the peace, or protect ourselves from hurt, but we then miss out on creating the life and relationships we desire. I strongly believe that people heal and grow best in connection with others, and therapy provides the security and compassion necessary to make new discoveries about yourself that can lead to positive change.

My focus is helping you find solutions to difficult problems and to help you reach your goals in as short a period of time as necessary. I work with you collaboratively to help you make the changes you want to make. In addition to being a solution-focused therapist, I have a client-centered approach to therapy. This means that your goals are the important goals. With your permission, I also utilize hypnotherapy processes to help you with what you want help changing. I have the utmost respect for you and your process.
