I have spent much of my career supporting kids, teens, and young adults—both in schools and through traditional and telehealth settings—understanding that supporting youth involves multiple stakeholders, including parents and teachers.
My style is collaborative and down-to-earth: we’ll talk about what’s happening, name what’s hard, and build a plan that actually fits your life. I often use CBT and mindfulness to help you understand patterns, reduce overwhelm, and strengthen coping skills, as well as experiential tools when talking feels overwhelming. Ecotherapy Groups and MI for SUD.

I’m drawn to working with adults who are navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, relationship challenges, or moments in life where something just feels off.
I’m currently a graduate student in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at New Mexico Highlands University, and I bring nearly seven years of experience as an integral coach. My work is grounded in a holistic, person-centered approach- meaning I see people as more than just thoughts or symptoms, but as whole human beings shaped by their body, emotions, relationships, and life experience. At the core of my work is creating a space where you don’t have to perform, fix yourself, or have it all figured out- just a place where you can show up honestly and be met there.

I work best with people who sense that their struggles may hold meaning, even when that meaning is not yet clear. My clients are often in periods of life transition and may feel lost in a maze, frustrated by repeatedly encountering the same walls and obstacles. They may be seeking relief from depression, anxiety, trauma, or painful relationship patterns while also searching for greater clarity, direction, and purpose. I work especially well with people who are curious about their inner lives and open to discovering how suffering and recurring patterns can become sources of insight, strength, and a more soulful way of living.

Healing unfolds in relationship — the one we build together, and the one you build with yourself . My style is warm, steady, and attuned to who you are. We’ll listen to the whole of your experience. Sometimes what needs attention doesn’t speak in words; it shows itself as tension, stillness, or a feeling with no name. We honor all of it.

I've helped countless teens and adults leave behind depression, anxiety, relationship problems, and family of origin baggage.
My experience is that we all tend to want the same things - feeling good about ourselves, finding purpose in our lives, and having positive connection with others. I also believe we are our own worst enemies, and that sometimes we need support from outside our normal circles. My ideal client is willing to show up and participate honestly. I appreciate when clients can give me examples of how they're consciously working to have new experiences in their daily lives, actively creating positive change for themselves. My job is to help you learn to help yourself.

I feel passionate about helping people to work through what they feel is holding them back from being their most authentic selves. I freely utilize Yogic breathwork & movement in a session to help center and bring a person into and feel their body. Then the true work of healing and freeing can begin to happen. I see any addiction as merely an indicator of something else that needs some attention and healing. When the body is allowed to release the trauma, then the desire for other 'medicines' is diminished. And when we aid our nervous system in this way, day by day, our mind and emotions also begin to heal. Freedom.

Have you found that sometimes words just aren’t enough to express what you need? I believe healing can come in many ways, shapes, and forms. I strive to use multimedia, art, hands-on, and experiential interventions to help deepen one’s journey towards wholeness. As a clinician, I strongly believe that every human has the desire to heal and my role is to help you dig deep and discover all of you when you feel ready.

Why should adults see a therapist?
Adults may benefit from therapy for a wide range of reasons—whether it’s managing symptoms of a diagnosed mental health condition like anxiety or depression, navigating life transitions, coping with grief or trauma, or simply seeking support during a challenging life period. Many adults find that therapy helps them build healthier coping skills and better process their emotions, which may lead to better relationships and reduced stress. It’s important to note that, unlike psychiatrists or primary care physicians, therapists do not prescribe psychiatric medication. However, they will often work alongside prescribing clinicians to ensure coordinated care and can provide behavioral therapy as an important addition to psychiatric medication. Mental health concerns can look different in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence, so finding a therapist with expertise working with adult clients is important. Conditions like major depressive disorder (MDD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for instance, may present or resurface differently in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence. Adult-specific stressors, such as job strain, caregiving responsibilities, relationship challenges, financial stress, or identity transitions, can also influence the onset and type of symptoms an individual experiences. Adult-focused therapists, therefore, are trained to understand these complexities and tailor care accordingly.
How do I know if a therapist is the right fit for me?
When seeking care, it’s important to understand a therapist’s treatment specialties and their overall approach to treatment . Some therapists focus on common adult conditions like anxiety or depression, while others specialize in areas such as trauma, substance use disorders, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. It’s also important to consider a therapist’s training when seeking care. Therapists hold various licenses depending on their training and state requirements. Common therapy credentials include Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs), Licensed Mental Health Counselors (LMHCs), Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs), and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs). Psychologists (PhD or PsyD) receive additional doctoral-level training and may focus on assessments or more specialized therapeutic approaches. All of these professionals can provide talk therapy but do not prescribe medication. When searching for a therapist, consider their credentials and training background to ensure a good fit.
How do I find a therapist who sees adults?
Psychology Today’s online directory allows you to search specifically for therapists who work with adults. Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. Reviewing these details can help you determine whether a particular provider aligns with your needs and can indicate whether they are a good match for adult clients.
