Presbyterian Therapists in Dona Ana, NM

I'm waiting for approval to take all Presbyterian, United, BCBS and Aetna plans in New Mexico, including Medicaid.
I focus on creating a neuroqueer-affirming space where individuals can deconstruct old narratives and rebuild a stronger foundation of self. My clients seek art therapy and neuro-affirming assessments because they've often felt unseen with talk-based therapies rooted in dominant culture ideas of "success" and "normalcy". Ultimately, most folks want to feel more safe in their ability to live authentically, and thus, sustainably.

As a therapist my driving passions are to help people overcome trauma, de-stigmatize mental health, and advocate for counseling, not just as a means of addressing mental illness but as a tool for self-exploration, healing, and growth. I know that therapy, or any commitment to change for that matter, can be scary and uncomfortable at times but I provide a calming space and an empathetic and unconditionally caring partner in your journey of self-discovery, healing, and growth. I truly believe that counseling can be a means to a better, more satisfying and comfortable life for everyone.
