Online Compassion Focus Therapy therapists in New Mexico

I work with you in virtual sessions in a safe professional manner as we work through the challenges and issues you are facing. My empathy is always present. You will leave transformed with greater clarity in life and how to move forward each day. You will have a plan and a path forward.  

Many people wonder how Expressive Arts Therapy works online. Through my experience I can say that it truly does. Being in your own home allows you to find resources in your natural environment that are available to you, making the therapeutic process feel more integrated into your daily life..... which is where all the magic happens anyways ;)  

My clients have found online therapy to be an intimate and trusted way to connect. They can remain in the comfort of their own home, or quiet confidential space, and as we communicate the physical distance melts away. I use Zoom for my sessions, or do private phone conversations, and am very happy with both choices. Please reach out to me for your 20 minute free phone consultation to see if we are a good fit!  

We offer both online and in person options in order to be accessible and meet the needs of our clients. To ensure the safety and protection of clients and clinicians, we utilize secure online platforms, fostering a convenient and welcoming environment for growth.
