Do you feel like your life is "inside out and upside down" and struggle to find your way? Maybe I can help. I am an LMHC with over 20 years of experience counseling. I earned a Master’s degree in Counseling from NM Highlands University in NM, where I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based therapeutic practices. My areas of expertise include individual therapy, trauma-informed care, gender/sexuality affirming care, and Neurodivergence. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental environment where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings and create the changes they want in their lives.
I help people gain insight and create meaningful changes in their life using CBT, Existential, and Client-Centered Therapy. I realize life can be complex and find that by exploring thoughts, feelings, and values together we can build a life of clarity, purpose, and empowerment. I realize life can be complex and there is no one size that fits all in life.
I love helping people who are feeling "inside out and upside down" find balance in lif. I've been described as a therapist who is honest, funny, and direct and who helps people cut through "the noise" to get to the root of problems. I enjoy partnering with Clients to create solutions in a practical manner to help them become "who they want to be" as people.

I assist clients in making "space" for themselves to reflect on how they are living and then assisting them in learning the skills needed to "be WHO they want to be." Assisting people in finding congruence between their insides and their outsides. Most clients find that by taking the time to "pause" and ask themselves "what do I need in this moment" they are able to practice new skills.

I find myself gravitating towards creative interventions that highlight your individuality and unique interests. What you can expect in a session with me is a focus on identifying your beliefs systems, figuring out what is working and what isn't working for you, and then creating action steps to become who you want to be.
