Great to meet you!

I am a licensed clinician in the state of New Mexico with four years of professional experience in the mental health field. My areas of expertise include supporting individuals navigating stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, abuse, and concerns related to motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I approach every client with respect, compassion, and a deep commitment to sensitivity and understanding. Our work together will be collaborative and tailored to your unique needs and goals. Seeking help is a courageous first step toward creating a more fulfilling and meaningful life, and I am here to support and empower you every step of the way.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My therapeutic approach is client-centered and integrative, drawing from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and trauma-informed care. I focus on creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, build insight, and develop practical strategies for lasting change.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients can expect to leave sessions with greater clarity, practical tools for managing life’s challenges, and a deeper understanding of themselves. Together, we’ll work to build resilience, strengthen self-worth, and create meaningful strategies that align with your personal goals and values.
