BeMeBetter is accepting new clients.

I love working through challenging situations with people and I have found that most issues can be resolved over the course of a few weeks or months. My sessions are usually about 70 minutes because that's how long a complete and satisfying discussion takes. I don't intend to see you for nearly as long or as often as you think, and you might be surprised at the range of things I want to talk about. Your life is a lot more than your presenting complaint.

The Evolution Group is a private counseling organization made up of a team of talented therapists who work with individuals, couples and families to empower the wholeness that lies within and support a return to wellness and balance.

In the quiet moments, when the weight of the world feels too heavy to bear, know this: you are not alone. For those grappling with anxiety, depression, and the haunting echoes of past trauma, your struggles are valid, and your pain is heard. At Journey of Hope and Courage, we recognize the quiet courage that resides within each person—the courage that whispers, "I'm scared, but I'll do it anyway." It's the bravery that propels you forward, even when the path seems daunting.

For therapist's I am a New Mexico board-certified supervisor for Social Worker's and Counselors seeking supervision. For client's I am a licensed therapist in New Mexico and Washington State. I specialize in integrative shadow work utilizing IFS, EMDR and Somatic therapy. Understanding and integrating our parts or shadow sides that we have pushed away or compartmentalized can allow us to experience more joy and happiness.

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.

Things have been hard. Emotions and divisions are high among couples, families, communities and social interaction has decreased in a big way. So much has changed and much of it beyond our control. Now is the time to unlock inherent coping skills you may not know you possess. I am available to help you identify and develop these skills then learn to incorporate new, proven strategies that help people cope with a quickly changing environment. In my sessions, we’ll look at the changes affecting you. We’ll navigate them together so, on the other side, you come out a stronger, healthier person.

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.

Are you struggling with issues related to trauma, grief, anxiety or major life changes? There comes a time when we need help from a professional and we'd love to help you on your journey towards healing and self-discovery.

If you have come here today, you are likely in a lot of pain. Your relationship is falling apart or is in a state of transition that's creating stress in your lives. Maybe you and your partner are just not as close as you used to be. Perhaps you are seeking Discernment Counseling to decide. As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential in relationship. I do this by uncovering long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling life and relationship.

I hope to work with you in deepening connection and intimacy in your relationships and in building a more meaningful, fulfilling life. During crisis or a difficult impasse, I help couples find and develop safe refuge in each other, and make sense out of distressing challenges. We work together to create more satisfying resolutions. With over 30 years of experience, I am the only Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) Certified Therapist and Supervisor in New Mexico. This evidence-based approach reduces conflict and strengthens relationship closeness. EFT is effective for many types of issues for my clients and couples.

Feeling self-conscious, restless, and intimidated in the therapy office? Community-based Adventure Therapy may be right for you! I offer to meet you at home, in nature, or wherever is most convenient and conducive to emotional healing. An indoor office space and teletherapy are also available as needed. I specialize in working with young women, families, couples, and LGBTQIA2S+ identified people, especially regarding identity struggles and building healthier relationships with self and others.

Maybe it's time to get the support and compassionate care you want, need and deserve! Feeling anxious, depressed or dealing with loss, grief, trauma or transition? Perhaps you've just been feeling a little down or disconnected from yourself or a primary relationship. Are you wanting to heal on deeper levels?

Have you ever wondered why it seems you always get the same results in relationship? Since there are many forms of relating, it's likely you find common threads in most of those. We live in a culture that promotes codependency and fails to support us on a path of personal empowerment. This colors not only our perception of others, but also of ourselves. Feelings of sadness, grief and anger arise, and are difficult to calm. With focus on intention, coaching toward better boundaries, and clearer communication, it's possible to find more joy and harmony in life.

Everyone encounters situations that require an external perspective at some point in their lives. These critical junctures can determine the trajectory of our lives. Our innate intuition guides us towards our desired path, & by heeding its call, we can make informed decisions. We provide our services to all & address a range of issues, including postpartum/perinatal, depression, anxiety, couples therapy, gender/sexuality, self-esteem, meditation, work-related issues, art therapy, men's issues, Kink/BDSM/Poly & more. With our team of experienced therapists, we specialize in several areas to ensure that you have the best experience!

Now taking consultations with potential new clients. Through their sessions with me, people create profound change in their lives and earn new self-perspective. Together, we work as a team to wade through the depths of trauma, grief, mood issues, confusions and conflicts in their lives. People who work with me learn how to step off the merry-go-round in their minds/hearts. They learn how to identify and speak about what carry and wrestle. Skills are developed to create the lives they have craved. Strengths are brought forth and utilized. Clarity and satisfaction is created. Working together, we can help create this for you too!

I enjoy helping people who want to change. I understand we all get "stuck". I believe that connection is a necessary part of treatment. Clients describe me as “warm, honest, direct, open, helpful and flexible.” I take a no-nonsense approach to therapy. I have been on both sides of the therapy “couch” and know what it is like to share your inner-most fears, secrets, and goals with a therapist. I do not expect your trust. I will earn it. I believe therapy is a two-way street, and I will work with you. There is no magic or mystery, I will let you know what I think and how I can help.
