Thinking About Thoughts Counseling Services

Are you experiencing depression, anxiety, shame, lowered self-esteem, or feeling stuck? Do you feel like you have no control over your actions, emotions, or thoughts? I know how that feels: isolating, feelings of inadequacy, fear of uncertainty, and trying to find relief by any method possible. These experiences can be terrifying, and I don’t want you to have to suffer them anymore. I can teach you the skills and give you the tools to take control of your life path.

What if I were to tell you that every thought you or anyone else has is just an opinion? That our thoughts form and develop from the information we might have and which we use to try and make sense of everything in the world with such a limited data set. Life is complicated and messy and there are no set “rules” for how people in the world should work and operate. Often this can lead to uncertainty, judgment, and doubt which often leaves us feeling isolated and alone.

The individuals that I work with in therapy are those who are wanting to achieve liberation from compulsions, self-destruction, and limiting beliefs. Those that are looking for a greater sense of meaning in their life pursuits and interpersonal relationships. Combining evidenced-based cognitive behavioral therapy, existential therapy, psychodynamic, and a holistic approach I’ve helped individuals heal, find self-acceptance and develop healthy coping skills to manage life’s stressful situations. I use a combination of therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, psychodynamic, and strengths-based approaches because the underlying commonality of these therapies is that they incorporate a whole-body and systems holistic approach.

So, what is it that I am offering? I’m offering a choice and an opportunity. The choice to view life through new perspectives and use skills to maximize your potential. The opportunity is to change the way you think about yourself and the world around you. This is the beginning of an approach to life that engages your sense of curiosity rather than fear. A wellness-focused approach not only addresses the presenting issue, but looks at the underlying factors from a system and intersectional approach across financial, occupational, emotional, physical, intellectual, social, environmental, and spiritual dimensions. This is where I can help.

My practice is entirely telehealth and I work with humans aged 18+ currently residing in the states of New Mexico and Oregon. Services are provided through a secure virtual platform and at this time the provider can only accept private pay for service provided to residents of New Mexico. Please note that I'm currently working on establishing contracts with local insurance agencies to better support New Mexico residents, so if you have any questions about coverage please feel free to reach out and ask. I am committed to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender identity and expression, sex or secondary sex characteristics, sexual orientation, physical and cognitive ability, physical appearance, age, body size, race, ethnicity, political affiliation, or religion.
