Let's Connect (505) 630-1190

I enjoy supporting adults and adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, addiction, grief, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, and life transitions. I am passionate about helping individuals heal, grow, and recognize their strengths while navigating life’s challenges.
I approach therapy using evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, strength-based, and solution-focused approaches to help clients process experiences, build coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.
My approach is warm, supportive, and collaborative — giving you both a safe space to process and tools to create real change. Together, we'll build a safe, empowering space for lasting change where you feel heard, supported, and understood.
