I provide telehealth care in New Mexico, Arizona and Oregon. Appts are currently scheduled on MST. I am driven to help people find the best way to navigate their mental health. I offer education, brief counseling, and herbal and medication management services. I start by hearing people's stories, what brought them to seeking mental healthcare, and what they seek to gain from it. I strongly believe that client active participation in their mental healthcare is the path to healing and meeting their goals. I have 6 children and love working with youth. My experience as a midwife over the last 14 years fosters my love for serving.

I have extensive experience in diagnosis and treatment of anxiety, depression, and bipolar illness. I have a special interest in serving youth, women and LGBTQ+ populations, but enjoy serving all humans that are seeking a healing journey. I incorporate CBT, interpersonal therapy, and motivational interviewing into my 30 min sessions of medication management.

I am excited to serve all peoples who are seeking to take back their lives and find themselves again. Often times humans can lose themselves in depression, anxiety, or other mental health concerns. Treatment can guide them back to who they are and who they are meant to be. I love to be a part of that journey and I am blessed when someone chooses me to help.
