If you have found yourself on this page, congratulations on taking the first step! So, let me go over what our first session will consist of. This initial session will include getting to know each other, as well as collecting background information, identifying key issues, setting goals for therapy, and implementing an intervention if needed. The nuts and bolts of the first session ensure that together we will work on a plan to help you make positive changes that are purpose-focused, and direction driven. As a therapist, I will show you how these first steps will help you separate who you are from the problems you are experiencing so that you can move forward positively. As a therapist who has worked in the field for over 25 plus years, I understand that mental health or emotional difficulties can be all-encompassing, impacting both our internal and external worlds, making it difficult to see a way out.

I am a native New Mexican and obtained my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from UNM in 2000 and a Master’s Degree in Counseling from New Mexico Highlands University in 2012. I am independently licensed by the New Mexico Counseling and Therapy Practice Board.
I work with adults struggling with a broad range of issues, from depression and anxiety to self-esteem and life transitions, but specialize in PTSD/Trauma. I have training in EMDR, Trauma Resilience Model, Neuroscience of Attachment, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapy.
I came to this career from my own healing journey so I understand this road can be painful and challenge the status quo in your life. If you are ready and willing to do the hard work, I am ready to walk with you on this path. Witnessing one’s healing journey and offering guidance along the way, is truly and honor and privilege for me, and I look forward to helping you discover your best self!
When I’m not working I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, eating good food, traveling, and reading! I am a wife and a mother of four children! I value family, a spiritual life, personal growth, and most of all integrity! I have always had the innate instinct to ask the question,” What can I learn from this?” I believe this question instills resilience and allows for empowerment, even in the most disempowering situations. I am passionate about learning and expanding as a human, and I love this about life!
