It takes courage and strength to reach out and seek a new perspective, and sharing our stories of personal trauma can lead to improved sense of well-being. The simple act of doing so can empower you to take the next step toward change and healing for you and your loved ones. An immediate sense of change is possible by merely taking the first step toward a new, healing relationship. I collaborate with my clients in a non-judgmental and respectful manner, working to accomplish their goals.

My approach is warm and present. I trust in your judgment in the therapeutic process, and view each individual as the expert in their own life. I’ve worked in the mental health field in Northern New Mexican communities for a decade.

I use humor when it fits. I believe our relationships with nature, community, spirituality, and creativity can be primary parts of the healing process.

I am here to help you work through the difficult parts of life and I use an approach knowing that you know yourself better than anyone else. I work best with clients who are willing to make a change in their life. I am very empathetic, caring, and compassionate. I work with trauma, anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, and Autism in children, teens, and adults. I have a humanistic approach but I also keep in mind that one lens will not fit everyone and I can adapt to my client's needs.
