Hi, and welcome! I am happy you are here to explore my offerings and a return to your wellbeing. A bit about me:
I am a board-certified, doctorally prepared Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over 17 years of experience spanning acute care, crisis response, psychiatric nursing, and public health. I offer integrative psychiatric care that blends evidence-based medicine with holistic, trauma-informed approaches. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults navigating depression, anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, trauma, grief, life transitions, and healthcare-related burnout.
Our work together will feel collaborative, grounded, and deeply respectful of your story. You can expect a therapeutic relationship rooted in listening, presence, and curiosity—where your values and goals shape the course of treatment. I aim to create a safe space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to heal and thrive.
Outside of work, I love being active in nature, dancing, traveling, cooking, and spending time with my friends, family, and my beloved dog.
First off, Hello! I am an LCSW who has worked with individuals, couples, children, and adolescents. I've worked with a variety of clients from those who have been recently been in-patient, going through a life transition (i.e. divorce, grief, relocations), struggling with depression and/or anxiety, and who have experienced abuse and other traumas.
Choosing to be in counseling is an extraordinary act of self-discovery and self-love that I believe each person can benefit from.
Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and I value creating a space where you do not have to carry things alone. Clients often describe me as calm, compassionate, and grounded. I will meet you where you are, support you at your own pace, and help you build greater understanding, healing, and connection with yourself.
I believe that healthy change starts from within and my role is to be a guide during this process. Often times we feel we are stuck in a rut with no way out, but together we'll work on building self-empowerment, better self-care, and self-awareness. No matter what you're going through there's always room to learn and grow from the past to make a better future. I specialize in anxiety disorders, trauma and PTSD, and building self-confidence. I'm also trained in Brainspotting.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Albuquerque, NM
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.
