I work with those who are experiencing significant life transitions or desire a life change. Whether it be a new job, birth of a child, relationship issues, death of a loved one, becoming of age or integrating a ceremony, they are seeking support in navigating these life events and their emotions to become whole. Through art, earth and somatic practices, I support others to gain the tools to feel and explore their true expression, connect to their body and purpose, embrace confidence, communicate effectively in relationships, breakthrough limiting beliefs or destructive patterns, integrate their experiences, and live authentically.

It begins with wanting change: Art therapy isn't just for "artists" or "creative types", it's for anyone who wants to work towards different solutions to their challenges. It's for anyone who wants to express themselves beyond what words they can speak. It's for anyone who needs a space that isn't "right" or "wrong", a space to be themselves safely and freely. I primarily work with individuals and groups to promote living with authenticity and sustainability.

I help people recover from trauma. I know what it's like to wake up every day feeling disconnected and afraid. I know the depression, anxiety, and confusion that accompany surviving a traumatic experience. I know that it takes time to understand what you've been through; that it was real, it wasn't imagined, and that any damage done was not of your own making. I also know that healing is possible. It is possible for you to feel confident and safe in your own body. To trust yourself, and have faith in your choices. To know that you are not your past, you are already whole and complete, and YOU are the expert on your own life.

Healing and learning can only happen when we feel safe, when all parts of ourselves can be seen and are welcome. My goal is to provide the safety to help patients reconnect with parts of themselves that have been rejected. In order for desired changes to occur, a new orientation towards oneself and one's problems is needed. I aim to bring compassionate curiosity in acknowledging and honoring whatever arises for patients and encouraging self-acceptance.

I believe no one lives in a vacuum. That's why I'll be asking about you and your relationships with family and friends. Your children don't live in a vacuum, either. In working with them, you'll be included in parts or all of their sessions. My practice is called the Rio Rancho Family Counseling Center. When you're seeing me alone or as a couple, you determine when and what problems to talk about and how fast and how deep we go. I draw on several methods of therapy because my practice is patient oriented and patient directed.
