I am a licensed clinical psychologist with a solo private practice in Albuquerque, New Mexico, emphasizing psychotherapy services. Some particular areas of emphasis include relationship work and personal growth, helping clients improve their ability to manage emotions, understanding and improving mood, and the treatment of anxiety disorders.
What to Expect:
The initial session will usually last approximately one hour. It is best to arrive 10 minutes before the scheduled session in order to complete paperwork. I will ask about your reason for coming in, your past history, and what you would like to accomplish in therapy.
In subsequent sessions, I will ask fewer questions and encourage you to delve more deeply into feelings, thoughts and behavior patterns, as well as explore what effect the past may have had in your life. I will offer opinions and make suggestions, but, to a large extent, my role is to facilitate your finding your own truths and developing a clearer idea of the directions you would like to go.
