Great to meet you!

I am a well rounded provider with over 15 years of psychiatric/medical and interdisciplinary care delivery. I have worked in the El Paso area ranging from acute care hospitals, inpatient psychiatric to home based care for individuals, which has brought significant insight and balance to my practice.

My approach to therapy

I have always approached care from a person first perspective. My role is to be your partner on your journey to wellness and health. Open communication, trust and rapport is essential to a successful relationship. I do not judge, and am a safe space for open communication

What you can expect from me

A better sense of understanding- both of underlying illness/challenges, and a clear understanding of our plan. It is my hope that you feel supported, educated and ready to take on the challenges of health improvement
