Please refer to the specialties I treat: PTSD, anxiety, depression, transgender and more.
My PhD in Clinical Psychology has given me the knowledge and sensitivity that psychotherapy is a very personal experience. Together we gain the trust to peel the layers of the "false self" away from the true, authentic self. Each person is different, therefore each person's healing has to be treated individually. Human suffering can be healed and I treat trauma from early childhood to the present, treating unhealthy early attachment issues we may use now in relationships. Together we will examine patterns which the patient finds distressing and long standing. I do not give advise, rather I help the patient find the advise within.

I have special expertise in LGBTQ+, Transgender, Sexual issues, individuals with trauma, families healing from trauma, working with children and their caregivers.
I feel the basis of good therapy is the relationship between the therapist and their client/clients. I seek first to create a trusting safe space for my clients through being present and actively listening. I am eclectic in my counseling and use my intuition and the client’s preferences in choosing a modality. I truly enjoy the art of therapy, and have decided to do what I really love: helping people on their life journey in a creative fun way. I take my client’s emotional life very seriously, but try to approach them with light, creativity, humor, all while teaching real skill building.

Treatment areas: depression, anxiety, trauma, autism spectrum, PTSD, bipolar, schizoaffactive disorder, transgender, gender dysphoria, relationships, life transitions, borderline personality, narcissistic personality couples marital therapy.
I am a dedicated clinician and I strive to create a strong, supportive space for clients who are interested in their inner work. I have worked with clients in severe emotional distress, and also with clients who just feel a need to "find a new path forward". Some of my clients come for brief intensive counseling during a crisis while others to do longer-term work on a quest for self-understanding and freedom from past painful experiences. Couples counseling is also part of my practice. I have extensive psychoanalytic training as well as experience in short-term modalities.

I have always cared deeply about the stories people tell about themselves. Our stories are sometimes filled with feelings of depression, anxiety, isolation, life transitions, and struggles to understand our own identities. Therapy can be a place where you can take back control of your personal narrative to reach your goals and understand yourself more deeply. I aim to collaborate with my clients to create a space that feels safe and affirming for them. I am affirming of gender, queer, disabled, and neurodiverse identities. I always seek to welcome, inform myself about, and affirm more communities into my work.

My ideal client is someone who is needing a space where intersectionality and identity are honored. Someone who is wanting to shape the path of their life in a way that fits them, their values, and their needs.

My clients seek to break free from limiting beliefs, self-defeating thoughts, and compulsive behaviors. Every thought we have is an opinion formed from the limited information we have, as life is complicated and has no set rules. This often leads to uncertainty, judgment, and isolation. I offer an opportunity to change the way you think about yourself and the world, and to approach life with curiosity instead of fear. If you're ready to step into the unknown and heal, please contact me.

We change every day. Sometimes those changes are big and leave us feeling uncertain or knocked down. And sometimes they are so small, we barely notice them. My clients are often looking for help to resolve old changes they haven't embraced or struggling with current or future change. Whether a new career, retiring, losing a loved one, moving to a new place, or making an identity transition, change can be upsetting and frightening! I help my clients understand the change process, and to settle into their strength so they can take back control of their lives, leading to better mood, less anxiety, and greater life satisfaction.

I created Wholistic Haven with a vision to integrate mental health & holistic practices with a special emphasis on providing access to care for ALL especially the undeserved BIPOC communities. I understand first-hand the influence one's culture has on our identity and how we are groomed to maneuver through society having to mold ourselves to fit a particular narrative at that comes at a cost. Stumbling our way forward has got us this far but we need better tools to become the best version of ourselves.

Often people begin looking for a counselor when things in their life haven’t been going the way they want. Perhaps you’re struggling with worrying about the future, or stuck thinking about the past. Maybe something feels missing, or maybe you feel lost and unsure how to move forward in your life. Or like many, perhaps you’re sitting there wishing life came with directions so you could start sorting out the storm of thoughts, emotions, and memories you face each day. If so, I want you to know you don’t have to face this alone. I’m here to help.

I’m a New Mexico transplant from Washington State and received my master’s in counseling through Adams State University. My areas of clinical focus are LGBTQIA+ (stigma, identity exploration, etc.), couples/relationship counseling, sexual shame, anxiety and depression, existential concerns, and self-esteem. I use a systems perspective, which considers how relationships and culture affect mental health, particularly with oppressed and intersecting identities.

Transgender Therapists
As a gender-diverse individual, why might I want to see a therapist who is also gender diverse?
A trans or gender-diverse client may want to see a therapist who is also trans or gender diverse because the client may feel safer sharing their experiences and more confident that the therapist will understand, validate, and support them. But trans or gender-diverse clients can also benefit from therapy with cisgender therapists; this is a personal decision based on the connection between the client and the therapist, and if that connection is strong, therapy will be successful.
What if I cannot find a therapist who shares my gender identity?
Therapy can still be effective if a therapist does not share a client’s gender identity; a large body of research indicates that the most important factor in successful therapy is the therapeutic alliance. A therapist can also be interviewed for sensitivity and competence on gender identity and expression to ensure they possess appropriate knowledge and skills. Many therapists have excellent training and extensive experience working with gender-diverse clients, and that expertise can be invaluable despite a therapist not sharing the same firsthand experiences.
How can I recognize a good therapist for working with gender-diverse clients?
An experienced therapist should be able to help clients explore their gender identity and expression, alleviate discomfort related to their gender identity, treat mental health challenges and trauma, address existing relationships and communication with family members and loved ones, and determine the next steps pertaining to nonmedical or medical gender-affirming interventions. To recognize a good therapist, clients can ask about these topics and explore their comfort and connection with the clinician.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with transgender clients?
Clients should feel comfortable asking therapists directly about their experience working with transgender or gender-diverse clientele. For example, clients may ask about the therapist’s training and education with regard to gender identity, how many trans clients they’ve worked with in the past, and what sorts of matters were discussed. You may wish to inquire how a therapist specifically supports the needs of transgender clients or clients questioning their gender identity. A good clinician who is nonetheless not the right fit for you is often happy to make referrals to others based on the concerns you articulate in a preliminary conversation.
