I spent 24 years with the State of New Mexico working in Protective Services, Juvenile Probation, and I was working for Behavioral Health as a Clinician, all are under the umbrella of Children, Youth, and Families. While working for the state I have been in several positions. I worked at Counseling Las Cruces for a 5 + years. I opened my private practice, Lucky Stars in June of 2022. I am original from Danville, IL but have made New Mexico my home since 1980. I obtained my bachelor degree at Western New Mexico University and my Master’s degree from Highlands University. I obtained my Independent License in 2013.
I have gained experience in trauma, bipolar, personality disorders, ADHD, substance abuse, couples, individual and family counseling. I have extensive training in Best Practices Addressing Problem Sexual Behavior in Youth. I have studied with Dr. Bruce Perry in the Neurosequential Model of Therapy, CBT, DBT, Minfulness, 7 Challenges & Circle of Security.
I have worked with people from many different ethnic, socioeconomic backgrounds, various ages, traumatic experiences and domestic violence. I have a client centered approach and will individualize a plan of action tailored to your specific needs. My goal is to empower people by building a supportive relationship and provide services without judgement.
