Many people who seek therapy are thoughtful, capable individuals who appear to be managing life well on the outside, yet privately feel overwhelmed by anxiety, unresolved trauma, burnout, or major life transitions. Therapy can provide a space to slow down, gain clarity, and develop a deeper understanding of the patterns shaping your life.
I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Registered Art Therapist providing telehealth services throughout New Mexico. My approach integrates evidence-based psychotherapy with experiential and creative methods, including art therapy, which can help access emotions and insights.
My approach is integrative, trauma-informed, and collaborative, drawing from CBT, DBT, IFS, EMDR, behavior modification, problem-solving, and expressive art therapy. I’m licensed in addiction treatment and certified in MDMA, Adult autism, and ADHD.
Together, we can explore your experiences, uncover patterns, strengthen emotional resilience, and develop meaningful tools for healing and growth. I offer a warm, culturally responsive, and LGBTQIA+-affirming telehealth space where you can feel supported and empowered on your path forward.
