I live in the beautiful Southwest, and I embrace my Hispanic heritage. In New Mexico, we regularly debate whether to have red chile or green chile. I wish life were that simple, but we know it is not. As a mental health therapist, I strive to provide evidence-based interventions and skill-building strategies to navigate through challenging times. My interest is in complex trauma and how adverse experiences affect the nervous system. In healing from trauma, it is important to combine talk therapy with mindfulness and skill-building.

Tired of feeling burned out? I am an expert in treating anxiety, trauma, addictions, sleep problems, but also qualified to evaluate a range of commonly co-occurring mental health conditions like depression. I do more than just talk therapy! At every visit, I teach evidenced-based skills that have been rigorously tested. I have developed a consultation style to therapy based on my experiences as a psychologist integrated in medical teams. This style allows me to consider treatment from multiple perspectives and this generally leads to earlier improvement, fewer overall visits, faster feedback and treatment.
