Are you tired of being sad, depressed, or anxious? Do you have issues relating to others or expressing your feelings? Is your lack of impulse control damaging your relationships with the people you love most? I've been working with adults and youth presenting with bi-polar, anxiety, depression, borderline personality disorder(BPD), post-traumatic stress disorder, anger management, schizophrenia, and dissociative disorder from a diversity of religions, ethnicity and socioeconomic backgrounds over the past ten years has provided me with a positive and unique approach to helping clients gain the skills needed to overcome their issues.
I would like the opportunity to help you build on your strengths while empowering you to work through the things you are unhappy with in your life. I am currently completing my master’s degree in both counseling and social work at Western New Mexico University. My bachelor’s is in criminal justice-forensic psychology, which gives me an extra measure of
insight and perspective when working with clients who have behavioral and anger management problems. If you are interested in breaking through and overcoming your issues, while working to become the person you were created to be, I offer weekly sessions that are based on your specific needs. Don’t spend another day feeling like no one cares.

I use a variety of evidence-based treatment modalities based on individual client needs. Together, we'll explore patterns, understand the "why" behind what you're experiencing, and develop practical tools you can use in everyday life. There's no one-size-fits-all method, so our work together will be shaped by your needs, goals, and pace.
