Background & Education

I work with children ages 10 and above, adolescents, and adults from diverse backgrounds who are experiencing challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, OCD, insomnia, and more.
I am a mother of three succesful young adults, I was a military spouse for 20 years, I love helping people with healing, relationships with themselves and others, and working through transistional stages of life. I am a trauma informed therpaist, trained in EMDR and other trauma treatment tools. I like to take a holistic approach to counseling, taking into consideration all aspects of a persons life.

I help people in all life stages navigate transitions, repair and reconnect in their relationships, overcome anxiety and loss, and cultivate courage to change.
I love helping people develop skills to improve their lives, communication and relationships. It is important to know that one theory does not meet everyone’s needs, therefore I use many different approaches to helping my clients to build their own best version of themselves.

My journey has included women’s health and midwifery, emergency care, and ultimately psychiatric mental health, shaped by a deep belief that no one should have to struggle alone. Personal loss and witnessing gaps in mental health care strengthened my commitment to helping people before pain becomes overwhelming. Outside of work, I enjoy starting my mornings with quiet reflection, going on long-distance cycling adventures, and relaxing with some friendly Xbox competition alongside my husband and friends.

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding postpartum therapists in Albuquerque starts with looking for care that matches what you want support with after pregnancy or birth. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. Some people also search for a postpartum depression therapist, postpartum depression counselor, or prenatal depression therapist. As you compare options, look for therapists who list perinatal mental health, maternal mental health, or postpartum support in their specialties. A perinatal mental health certification, often listed as PMH-C, can also signal focused training in this area.
Albuquerque has a mix of local therapy options, and virtual care can make it easier to find a therapist whose availability fits your day. New parents may need to plan around unpredictable schedules, infant care, physical recovery, transportation, or shared caregiving. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions in Albuquerque or virtual appointments from home. You can also narrow your search by appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their approach to counseling for postpartum depression, communication style, and experience supporting parents before you book.
Therapy in Albuquerque can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs, take your insurance, and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, then review profiles and schedule directly when you’re ready.
