We aren’t meant to do life alone. Therapy is a unique process that can offer understanding, compassion, support, and challenge you. I believe that transformation and healing happen in the context of healthy relationships. Therapy can help you create the change you want in your life. Through this process you can learn skills and practices to develop resilience, boundaries, and work towards healing and overall wellness. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable space for you to come as you are, and to honor your needs by working at your pace towards your goals.

Hello! I am an independently licensed clinical counselor, am national board-certified, and am a certified EMDR therapist.

Whether you have been in counseling for years, or are reaching out for the first time, finding a counselor and starting therapy can be a daunting process. Dealing with grief, trauma, depression, anxiety, or any other stressors can compound the difficulty of this process. As a team, we can walk through whatever stressors are impacting you and find solutions that will guide you to where you want to be in your life.

I've passionately served the NM queer community for the past 8 years. I work with adults struggling with generalized and social anxiety, trauma, depression, change of life/adjustment issues, grief & loss, and LGBTQ+ concerns (coming out, gender identity, transitioning, living an authentic life). The pandemic has changed everything --from the way we work and socialize to the way we do therapy. It's made therapy more solution-focused, trauma-informed, and necessary. If you're feeling fractured, disenfranchised, or displaced, now is the time to pick up the pieces and rebuild a healthier life! Now is the time to heal.

As a clinical social worker providing psychotherapy services, I want to provide good customer service and services customized to your individual needs. I want to help you live the life you want to live. Learn how to reduce your anxiety by changing your patterns of thinking or acting. I can work with multiple issues including mood disorders, addictions, and chronic medical conditions. Focusing on the relationship you have with yourself will improve your self-esteem and help you learn how to relate better with others. It's not just therapy; it's your therapy.

I believe that you are the expert of your own healing process. I provide space for in-depth exploration, offering compassion, curiosity, creativity, and resources. I work to align with you so that together we can address the factors that are impeding your well-being and growth. As we move through a time where it increasingly feels that the ground beneath us is shifting, my aim is to support you in not only coping with the challenges ahead, but thriving and moving forward as the empowered creator of your own story. Therapy is an opportunity to slow down and cultivate more authentic alignment with yourself, others, and your community.

What does it mean to love and be loved? How do we choose safe partners? How do we relationship in healthy ways? As a therapist, I hold that my role is to journey with you along your unique healing path. I believe that when we love with our whole selves it ripples out into our communities in restorative ways and have focused my work with those of us who have or are currently experiencing domestic and interpersonal violence. I understand that relational violence is an expression of societal violence and cannot be separated from each other in a healing journey. I guide lovers to safe relationships.

I am passionate about empowering women who have experienced domestic violence and/or sexual abuse, and work primarily with this population. I am experienced in treating PTSD, complex trauma, anxiety, depression, panic, self-esteem issues, and problems adjusting to difficult life transitions. I see adults and adolescents. I prioritize establishing safety by working with clients to develop coping skills to help them regulate their emotions and manage symptoms. Once coping skills are in place, I can support you in processing trauma using eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), if desired.

"Two people getting to know each other and dealing with what comes up along the way" is one way I think about therapy. Some people seek psychotherapy because of an issue that is clearly about a relationship or relationships in general-for example, a breakup, trouble initiating relationships, or problems with coworkers or bosses. Even if your main concern seems to be just about you-for example, you are depressed or have low self-esteem-your relationships with others, including me, become an important part of therapy. Do you believe others have the same opinion of you that you do?

*Not currently accepting new clients*. Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, work issues, or relationship issues? Do you need parenting support or guidance with career/ education issues? Thinking about making a big change in life? I am ready to help. I specialize in individual therapy for adults, teens, and children ages 10+. Together we'll develop the most effective treatment model to meet your needs. As a licensed clinical social worker in New Mexico, I’m here to support you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery.
