Welcome to my site!
If you are visting, it is likely that your life is being restricted by emotional suffering and internal struggles that make it difficult to pursue cherished goals, relationships and achievements.
I will help you to find freedom from this psychological pain, the anxieties, depressions and inhibitions that have made your life miserable up to now.
The core aspect of my work with you is respect. We are all doing the best we can possibly do. We all want to be the best that we can be. We will start from where you are at, and figure out how to proceed from there, moving towards health and happiness, and away from the unwanted repetition of old, often traumatic patterns.
In addition to working with adults, I also specialize in treating children of any age. Dealing with their problems early on will prevent much bigger and harder to heal issues that become more consolidated as kids age.
Clinical diagnoses are generally vague and do not adequately reflect our experience, so I will give a more specific description of some of the problems that I work with:
- Feeling down, oppressed, despairing and unable to get out from under
- Sudden panics or anxieties that keep you down
- Repetitive arguments or fights with your loved ones
- Needing comfort and soothing from drugs or alcohol
- The after effects of abuse and trauma
- Divorce, blended families and their dilemmas
- Effective parenting
- Understanding and mastering anger and frustration
- Dealing with loss and grief
- Helping children to adapt to new situations
- Psychosomatic and chronic pain issues
- Suffering from manic-depression, schizophrenia and borderline disorders
I practice in the foothills of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and worldwide by telephone.
